It was sorted out and by the end I knew everything there was to know about the magic in this world – and I loved it! However, this didn't really bother me, because I loved the characters, writing, plot and humour and I wasn't confused for long, but it was a little niggle. I will admit, for quite a while I was completely confused about the whole magic thing. I also just loved all the Goodnights – especially Cousin Daisy her bickering with Phin was hilarious! The Goodnight kookiness kinda reminded me of my own very crazy family. The rest of the characters were brilliant too – especially, Ben's Mom, Mark, Aunt Hyacinth and Uncle Ben. It was really sweet and also really real. And I loved watching how their relationship changed and grew. Their banter was one of the highpoints of the books. It was an insta-hate – a very understandable one, given the circumstances! It was also just hilarious. I loved that it wasn't love-at-first-sight. It helped that I loved the relationship between him and Amy.

But he's also sweet and funny and gruffly caring – the perfect mix of annoying and sweet! I mean, yes, he's grumpy and bitingly sarcastic and moody. I wonder why…Īs for Ben, well he is gorgeous. Oddly enough, this made me relate to her more. Plus, she was just so darn quirky and bizarre. Her sister Phin was just as amazing: she was an evil scientific genius.

She had me laughing my head off, hunting ghosts and wincing – because man did this girl get herself into some awkward scrapes! She was funny, sarcastic and just a really great character you could fall in love with from the very beginning. I loved all the characters – especially Amy, who was brilliant. And I was so pleased to see she has written a Goodnight sequel! It was amazing I just gobbled it all up! I am now going to buy every single book by Clement-Moore, because even if they're only a quarter as good as this it'll be more than worth it. I am so glad that I was able to read it, because I loved it.

I've never read anything by Rosemary Clement-Moore before, although I've been eying Texas Gothic for what feels like forever. So the Goodnight sisters are dragged into an investigation – one that could reveal the very secret Amy has been fighting to hide for so, so many years – and draw up a whole rush of old memories.

A dead-body-found and ghostly-attacks bad. Or the fact Amy runs around in her underwear to scare off a cow and then gets into a fight about ghosts with a hot cowboy (still in her underwear). And we're not talking about the presence of the ghost of Uncle Burt. The Goodnights are odd and different.īut Amy, she knows how everyone sees her is important and so she carefully blocks off her home life from her public one, smoothing problems over and keeping the whole witch thing very much secret.īut then Amy and her sister Phin agree to look after their Aunt's ranch over the summer.
