A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses  - Molly Harper Gone with the Witch - Annette Blair

Adding two more.

 

Black Cat: Gone with the Witch / Annette Blair

If you want a completely inconsequential and predictable read, here you go.  I'll give the author props for the sheer volume of sexual metaphors and innuendo, but dear lord were they cheesy as hell.  However, there WAS a black cat, both in the story and on the cover.  In the book's favor, it is better written than 50 Shades of Grey.  This could be a read for other squares, but I honestly don't recommend this one.  As a train wreck it wasn't enough to make me want to read the others in the series, so this one and it's sisters are going back on the sale shelf at the library.

 

Supernatural: A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses/ Molly Harper

Not my favorite read by her, but I've yet to read a book by her I disliked.  This book gets comedically meta when the character buys a romance novel about werewolves in Alaska, which I assume is a playful reference at Harper's Naked Werewolf series that is in the same universe as this series.  Overall, cute and playful, could have been a read for Witches or Scary Women (there are monsters and threats to lives even if it's not horror).  But I think I have at least another Molly Harper coming to me through ILL if I need one for Scary Women (Authors), it gave me a third square in a row, and I've been inspired to re-read Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett.
