Spellbound in Seattle Garthia Anderson 9780505525376 Books Reviews

Earth, 50 years after it is learned that magic and physics can be combined
Petra W. Fields, daughter of two powerful wizards, is one of the rare individuals who have no magic at all. That being the case her childhood had been a difficult one. Unfortunately her relationships with the magical breed gets no easier for her in adulthood. She had fled her faithless fiance, who had only wanted to attach himself to her parents, to the one place he (and the police) would never think to look for her - Seattle, the hotbed of wizardry.
As usual magic is at the root of her latest problem. She's having a party in an hour, and the perfectly spotless rug she'd purchased at a flea market now sports a magical blood stain. Naturally a magical stain requires magic to remove. She puts in a call to Rapid Renovations, but the owner of the competition, Emerald Rennaisance Garments arrives first. Strapped for time, she hires his firm.
The stain is more complicated than first assessed and the company wizard arrives. Petra can't help notice that he's one hot hunk, but of course her track record with magical men hasn't been great. Vorador, who is Seattle's Grand Wizard, had been the anomaly in a family proud of their non magical pedigree. Compared to his childhood, Petra's had been a picnic. He tends to avoid non magicals like the plague, but he's stunned speechless by Petra W. Fields. Instead of suave and competent, he comes off as haughty and arrogant. Ouch, He promises to have the stain removed by morning. Then they can go their separate ways, but when Petra wakes up she finds a hole in the floor where the stain had been.
Bosco, the stray cat that had arrived on her doorstep the same day she bought the carpet jumps in, and naturally Vorador follows. When neither returns, Petra decides to look for them. She lands in Voradors lap. Not a bad place to be, but this is not her basement. Nope, its a manifestation of the spell cast by the crime victim to leave clues about the identity of the murderer. And so the adventure begins. As the pair attempts to discover who done it, they drive each other crazy - mostly with passion.
Whew! This book was hilarious, suspenseful, and really hot, while subtly driving home a point about prejudice. An astounding magical debut that is not to be missed. ---Leslie Tramposch ~ PNR Reviews
Let me first preface this review with the impression I had upon reading the back cover and book description. I `assumed' this was going to be a time-travel that would be taking me back to a medieval type locale with wizards and magicians. It was not anything like that.
The setting is modern day in a world that accepts the existence of humans who have unusual magical type powers - wizards, witches, s - you get the drift? Petra Fields happens to be the daughter of two very powerful wizards, but she did not inherit any magical powers from her parents gene fields at all! She had an interesting yet loving childhood and grew up thinking to marry a wizard type (Harold) until she found that he was playing her - primarily to get closer to her illustrious parents. Doing what she did best - after doing a number on Harold - she ran off to Seattle, a `Mecca' for wizards.
Petra is getting ready to host a party and all of a sudden, this rug she had bought exhibits a big bloody stain that she can't get rid of. She calls for a `wizard' company (yes, it does get a little far-fetched) to come and `zap' the stain out. The company that shows up is not the company called upon but they encounter a problem and end up calling their `grand wizard' out to rectify the problem. Well the `grand' wizard is a real hottie (with a penchant for fires actually) and Petra is really dazzled by his maleness and the wizard, Vorador, returns the sentiment! He is uncommonly attracted to Petra, a non-magical type, whom he generally stays far away from!
Well, the stain turns into this massive complication as it belongs to a murdered wizard who had cast a spell as her life's blood was draining from her body. Because of his uncommon attraction for Petra, Vorador is not functioning at his best and because Petra has been burnt by a magical type before, she is fighting a huge attraction where she would like nothing better than to jump all over him and the sparks do fly back and forth - but unfortunately - they are just sparks (and a lot of flames) until practically the end of the book. But the slapstick episodes and unusual supporting cast of characters just keep rolling on and on!
The character portrayals were interesting in that Petra was not your stereotype svelte and beautiful modern day heroine but slightly chubby and out of shape with a very sarcastic attitude (self preservation) towards the `grand poopah wizard' in spite of her attraction. Vorador was a bit of a mystery - not wanting to reveal his real name until the end of the book. There was even a stray cat Bosco arriving on her doorstep the same day as the carpet who had a secret. And, on top of the murder mystery I felt was an even bigger mystery of who or what was Orwell (That you have to find out for yourself!) Suffice it to say that the story is full of numerous zany characters, a lot of magic, and some snappy dialog. This was a decent read even though my assumption of the plot I was expecting was a bit off. I will definitely keep my eyes on this author though, as her imagination and sense of humor were quite unique for this debut novel.
I bought this on a whim, as I lived in Seattle for a time, and hey, a book about Seattle, never mind about that cover...
I was so pleased upon devouring it that it wasn't like the cover of the girl all fawning over the man, Petra is soooo much better than that... Maybe if she tripped?

Petra is a character I want to be more like, the way her mind works is Amazing, I couldn't stop laughing at times. And the reason she likes pigs as explained towards the end, well. Let's just say I like them now, too!

I'm not going to bore you with a synopsis, others have done that for me, but I will say it is in my top 5 books of all time to read, NOW, so I'm busy collecting copies for my friends. You're my friend, right? Get a copy.
This book is a quirky little paranormal romance with witches, wizards, & even a flying pig!! If you like funny & off-beat romances, with more than a touch of majic, you'll love this book!
This book is great. A definite must read. Would like to read more from this author. Great sense of other.
