A good and very entertaining read. I loved the plot despite it being somewhat obvious, it was still well crafted. I'm really starting to love this little world Kappes has created. Heck, I want to go and visit this magical village.

I read the first in this series some time ago and swore I'd get back to the series. I didn't until now. I enjoyed this one as much as I did the first. I can't wait to finish the series. I have high hopes for it.

I think everyone needs a little Whispering Falls and June Heal in their life. The second book added a lot more good stuff to an already amazing series. There are new shops, new characters, and an entire school campus. I love the mystery in the series. You never know what is going to happen to these characters, because anything can happen. You see the town through June's eyes, and she is still finding out about her own secrets, as well as the town. It is a lot of fun finding them out with her! I especially enjoy her family secrets. There is a very touching moment at the end of the book that was just perfect. This book also expands the magical world within the series. I'm always up for an exciting battle between good and dark magic, and this one was done extremely well! If you haven't read any of these books yet, definitely do. They are unique and fun and mysterious. Plus, it is a great place to disappear to for a little while.

I met the author a couple of months ago at the local SOKY Bookfest & she was super sweet. There are a few little errors / inconsistencies with this book that do take away from it a bit or are distracting. BUT, the author was so nice, I'm willing to overlook those. I think the story itself is a bit flimsy but the author does a great job of describing her world so you can easily use your imagination to put you in there as well. All in all, it was worth the $2.99 I spent on it from Amazon & I will keep reading this series.

have to say, I do have a soft spot for this series and I'm only on book 2! What I like about it is the romance between June and Oscar burns in the background of the main plot line, adventure magic an mystery are the main factors then you remember that June and her Ding Dongs are being drawn to her oldest friend, the love story is not blinding the whole book but u get satisfaction at the end, sugary sweet satisfaction, once the mystery is solved, secrets are revealed and new relationships are forged and new characters are thrown into the mix ready for the next book! The book is fun light and a perfect read for any fan of female leads with spunk magic and a sugary obsession! I won't give spoilers because I never see the point in it, I want to know if the books good if it's going to make me laugh cry or if I'm going to get bored lose interest an give up! so to some up my experience of A Charming Cure it's fast paced, delightfully sweet and imaginative story that leaves you wondering more about your heroine and the characters that surround her. No doubt the next instalment will take us on a new mystery that will entertain us immensely

CAUTION! THIS BOOK MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK YET!!!!!!!!
This book I believe is the first book I have read this year and also the first nonteen book review I am doing for this blog. I have read a lot of other adult books but I think starting with this one is a good idea. Since I got it off my already read book list for this year on goodreads. I'm suppose to read seventy-five books by the end of the year and I have read forty-one. I'm quite happy with what I have accomplished so far. I actually think I started reading this on our road trip/move from California to Montana.

My interest in this series is quickly dwindling. Book 1 was cute, and I was intrigued by the colorful characters in Whispering Falls, Kentucky. But I don't know if I can continue. The dialogue is terrible. It reads like a high school creative writing project at times. The purple prose pops up at the most awkward times and completely pulls me out of the story. I could overlook this and just enjoy the plot, but I am discovering how much I dislike the main character, June. June is insecure--a character trait I absolutely hate. She eats ding dongs non-stop, which is strange, but more importantly, she just isn't very smart. If she would stop and think before acting she would avoid most of her troubles. She is ridiculously naive about her relationship with her best friend, Oscar. I can handle the, "will they or won't they" nonsense. Hey, they are both 25 years old. No need to rush into anything. But her inner dialogue makes me cringe, and I just don't like her.
I will give book 3 a final shot before throwing in the towel, but it isn't looking good for me continuing the series. Sorry, June, you may have to continue on without me.
