As soon as I saw the beautiful cover on
Midsummer Magic, I knew that it was a book I wanted to read.
Recently engaged Josie has jumped into
wedding planning and left her fiance Harry feeling a little left out.
When she invites Harry, her bridesmaid Diane and Harry's best man Ant to
Cornwall for the weekend she imagines a relaxing couple of days
talking about the wedding. However, what she doesn't realise is that
Diane and Ant already know each other and are not the best of
friends. To make matters worse, when Harry and Ant meet famous
magician Freddie Puck in the local pub they drunkenly agree to take
part in a hypnosis stunt on Mid summer's Eve for his new show. As
Midsummer Night comes round, the four realise that the tv show could
be a mistake and before they know it long buried secrets and feelings
start coming to the surface.
The use of local mythology is a strong
part of the storyline and the beautiful setting in Cornwall really
emphasises this. There is something about the caves and rugged
coastline that makes myths seem like possibilities.
This is a fun, magical story that I
really enjoyed reading. I thought that the references to
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream were a very clever addition
and I am looking forward to reading Williams' next book.
Thank you to Avon for sending me a copy
to review.
