Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately it’s not the book for me. DNF @ 20%.

This was a pretty good collection of paranormal fantasy stories that have great characters. I really enjoyed reading all of the stories. I highly recommend.

A fun compilation of short stories about witches. Many of them deal with the repercussions of love potions gone bad....what if your dog is the perfect man? Or the perfect man is gay? Enjoyable!

SONOFAWITCH! is a quick and fun compilation of stories about witches having various sorts of misadventures. After reading so many heavy stories lately it was fun to read light, silly stories that effortlessly weaved some magical mishaps into them. Most of the stories were pretty decent plot-wise but I had issues with some of the stories where the situations that were supposed to be taken as funny were actually kind of manipulative or creepy.

Good Spell Gone Wrong was my favorite with a troublesome, magical tattoo curse gone haywire. I loved the speed that everything happened as it helped with the urgency of finding a way to defeat the bad guy. It was also hilarious especially with the poor kitten who becomes a catroach who become very important to the story in an absolutely excellent way. I also loved The Perfect Mate where a witch's dog is accidentally turned in to a human. Simply, I really enjoyed the wackiness of a dog in human form doing dog things as a human.

The two stories I didn't like involved love potions which are tricky because they tend to involve deception that takes away the consent and/or control of one party. The Trouble With Love Spells as a body swap issue due to a love spell where one character is duped into an intimate situation that was kind of messed up. Another story with love spell was A Poppet Named Dave. Here we have the target of the love spell who gets messed around with, tortured and the final outcome is pretty gross.

I tend to expect to not enjoy every story in an anthology and most of the stories in SONOFAWITCH! were entertaining and fun to read.

Sonofawitch! is a collection of six stories about what happens when a spell goes unexpectedly, hilariously wrong, and it's absolutely the best thing I've read in AGES.

All of the stories are original and they all stand alone without the need to be familiar with any of the author's other works - the major gripe I had with the Jim-Butcher-headlined Urban Enemies - and even more delightfully, every one of the six is equally strong.

Good Spell Gone Bug by Laura VanArendonk Baugh had me laughing out loud at the frantic efforts of the heroine to undo a disastrously interrupted spell that was meant to remove a magical tattoo from her own back onto some cockroaches. The interference of a dense neighbor and his new kitten cause utter havoc.

The Trouble With Love Spells by Sara Dobie Bauer really brings home the moral 'be careful what you wish for, you just might get it'. Violet doesn't want to interfere with the free will of her crush, so she casts a spell to change herself into someone he could love. She really, really should have checked on his sexual orientation first...

All The Petty Curses by Lissa Marie Redmond was the only story in the bunch that seemed to be a continuing part of a larger universe, though it stood well alone and I was never confused about what was going on. Hipster James owns a coffee shop which, now that the Faerie Queen has gifted him with the Sight, has become a magnet for the Fair (and the Fairy Tale) Folk. Problem is, James is a sucker for a pretty girl in trouble.

The Perfect Mate Fiasco by Frances Pauli - this one probably made me laugh the loudest of all. Rowan casts a spell to find her perfect mate, but her list of attributes in what she wants really does resemble a perfect pet rather than a man. The interference of her Golden Retriever makes her realize that she might need to revise that list just a tad... once she gets Max back on his four paws again.

A Matter of Perspective by Mara Malins - a Harry-Potter-esque little story about the boy in his class who's got amazing magical genes but no talent at all. I was perhaps reminded inevitably of Neville Longbottom, but the story had a twist I didn't see coming and I enjoyed it a lot.

A Poppet Named Dave by Adam Millard - River Everbleed is at that phase in her training where her spells never quite go right, so trying to cast a spell to get the hottest boy in school to notice her might not be her smartest move. How is she going to get Dave out of the poppet and back into his real body?

This is a wonderful collection just in time for Halloween. I highly recommend it for a few good laughs, and I'll be looking for more works by these authors in the future. Five stars.

This is a great boxed set with some amazing authors. Each book was great and had a wonderful story which kept me reading way past my bedtime. They all have well developed characters are all very entertaining. Each of the books were full of surprises and I didn’t want them to end. If you are looking for a great boxed set then you need to get this one. I am looking forward to reading the other books by each of these great authors. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Tis the season for witches, magic, and fun so what better way to get into the holiday mood than with stories about the supernatural?

This anthology contains multiple stories that provide plots and characters with a more lighthearted look into the paranormal and humorous instances of when things don’t go as planned. Spells going awry has been a staple of humor in paranormal stories for quite some time; after all who doesn’t love it when the unexpected happens with a twist?

One of the wonderful tenets of Wicca is the way it brings people together and these stories help take that idea by weaving it within the characters actions. Witches, the coven, friends, all show in various ways they are there to help you learn, fix mistakes and remember you’re not alone. The authors all used this behavior within their characters which helped make them feel real and logically based.

The works combined within this volume mesh well together and the talent from the various authors shines through so you’ll want to seek out more by them on their own. That’s a great benefit to reading compilations like this; you get to whet your appetite with skills from various people so you get all kinds of different characters and plots.

The one thing you have to lookout for with anthologies is that because you do get different stories from different people whose writing has been shaped by their own experiences there may be some you like, some you don’t and some you’re just not sure about. I like these because you get a great comparison of one type of genre from different points of view which allows you to decide whose writing you think you are closer to – good group discussion!

I like books about witches. I also like witches in history and in real life. I have a good friend who is a witch. No, she doesn't have sparky or magical powers, but she believes in witchcraft. Oh and I really like movies and books about witches. Wait, I already said that. Anyways when I saw Sonofawitch come across my email, I knew that it was something I had to read. I like many different genres, but books with humor, especially supernatural or paranormal books that have humor are particular favorites of mine.

So let's get into this anthology. It is comprised of numerous books that all have to do with the lighter side of witchcraft. Things such as when spells go bad are the majority of the stories. Why? Because when spells go bad, it can be funny bad, like when a girl does not listen to her friend and decides to perform a love spell. Spells going bad can also be bad, like when a dog gets out of the house and runs away, scaring his witchy owner. They can even teach you a lesson, such as the young student who couldn't do magic to save his life, except when it was to save his life.

Magic always as a way of coming full circle and as in these stories, when things go wrong, you also have a friend, coven witch, or teacher to help you out. I think a theme of this anthology rather intended or not is to show you that you are never truly alone. You have friends, family, or those who will be there to help you, even if they may not necessarily care about you a great deal. Speaking mostly about covens, witches after all are witches :D

My two favorite stories were 'Perfect Mate Fiasco' and 'Matter of Perspective', which I recommend everyone read for a bit of a chuckle. These hijinks really could not be helped, and the results are so pitiable that you can't help but feel for our main character.

This book was full of some very interesting stories. I love reading stories that include characters that are witches and warlocks. The authors did a great job compiling the works for this anthology. Thank you NetGalley and all authors for allowing me to read this book and write a honest review.
