First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen FIC All


Another entertaining book from Allen.  It grabbed me from the first sentence I read yesterday until the end which I reached this morning.  If you haven't read her previous books I would suggest you might like to start at the beginning (although you could certainly enjoy this one as a stand-alone).  The Waverley sisters have had some changes since the last book.  They are both married and enjoying successful careers with some help from their 'gifts'.  There is magic sprinkled throughout the book.  Even Bay, Sydney's 15-year-old daughter, has inherited a gift - she seems to know where people and things belong.  And she thinks she belongs with Josh who is a few years older than she.  He is not interested in her at all!  A strange man shows up in Bascom and his motives are not good.  Claire's new candy business has caused her to stop cooking for her family and instead she is working herself to the bone.  Sydney is getting frantic in her desire for a baby.  Things always get strange for the Waverleys before the first frost arrives.

There are lots of story lines running through the book.  The emphasis is more on characters than action which suits me just fine.
