**Book Review- Enchanting Sarah Greenberg (A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel) by Jennifer Inglis

   

General Fiction (Adult), Romance , Sci Fi & Fantasy 

Part rom-com, part The Dresden Files with a dash of Jewish mythology, ENCHANTING SARAH GREENBERG is a funny, fantastical look into a woman’s struggle to find herself, believe in herself, and prove to everyone that she is extraordinary in her own way. 

Description

Food critic Sarah Greenberg is a normal thirty-nine-year-old content with her ordinary life. In fact, the only real excitement she has is the occasional hand she lends at her family’s Chicago magic shop.

Until one day when the ordinary becomes extraordinary and a simple introduction to her boyfriend’s teenage daughter unearths a family trait long dormant in Sarah.

Without even trying, she can do magic.

Her newfound, though late-blooming abilities make her part of a world she never imagined, and her family’s long lineage of Magycians unravels Sarah’s world.

But when she discovers her family’s store is in danger of being taken away by an old acquaintance, Zondra Bex, Sarah is forced to face an enemy more skilled and decades older than her.

Sarah must learn to develop her skills to protect her family from a foe that wants to wield the power embedded in the store’s location and rule the Magyckal world. But will embracing her newly discovered abilities eradicate everything she believed herself to be?

 I have to admit that it took me a bit to get into this story.  But then it began to draw me in.   Maybe because Sarah was so freaked when she began to "see" things and then her abilities showed up.  I have to admit some of those things she began to see were really freak worthy.  What a quirky story it turned out to be.  And it all put together some really good world building. 

 Sarah's relationship with Colin was so interesting and I kept waiting for there to be a surprise about him.  Is their relationship going to survive?  I hoped so because I liked him and his daughter Madison. To be honest, is Sarah even going to survive grasping evil Zondra Bex and her plans? Because of this, the story becomes action packed.  With touches of humor too. 

Raya is Sarah's lifelong best friend.   I liked her and her part in the adventure. The few times she went  into the more scientific, that part I didn't enjoy as much. 

The end of the story is filled with surprises and twists that there's no way anyone could see coming.  Startling but good.  What a wild ride that was.
