A short paranormal romance about a witch sounded fun. But unfortunately I found the main character Zeb way too annoying & immature. It felt like she was a young teenager pretending to be an adult and when she has sparkles that start shooting out of everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE!!!) that's too much for me. Sorry :)

[Alysha DeShaé · Rating 1 out of 5]

I can deal with immature writing, but even I couldn't get past sparkles shooting from someone's "ladyparts" and then running away embarrassed! Reading this story made me feel like I had walked in on two twelve-year-olds trying to figure out sex, getting it all wrong, knowing they're getting it wrong, and then just running away naked instead of talking or getting dressed and deciding to try again after maturing. (Ear sex from Family Guy, anyone?)

LOVED this short, sexy read!

The electricity between Zeb and Arturo is sizzling, and Kenny (her best friend) is hilariously supportive.

I wanted to hop along in Piglet the van and see where these guys will go next.

It reminded me a little of Peaches Monroe--if she were a witch.

This sweet, sexy story will leave you smiling.

I enjoy Mimi Strong's writing. It tends to be light and flirty and sometimes that's exactly what you need. That said, this isn't one of my favorites. I liked the idea of a school for witches, but I was kinda put off by how their heritage was kept from so many of them until they grew up. I mean, how do you keep that from someone? Like, "Welp, it's coven night. We'll just tell the kids we're going to play dirty charades with the neighbors instead of admitting the truth." *scrunchy face*

Anywho. Dog prom and magical singing did distract me from the lemon face I was making, but just barely.

Nice quick read.

Meh. This was part of a box set so I’ll consider it “free” but I’d say skip it.

"Love Singer" by Mimi Strong is my first book by her and I have mixed emotions about it. I liked the concept of Zeb going to Music Academy and falling for her Teacher, but wasn't so thrilled with how he brushed her off when they were in the bedroom. I felt like that scene could've been more than it was. I liked her quirky, gay roommate and dog but would've liked more on them too. The end seemed a little rushed. However, I liked the sarcastic Zeb and the sexy young Arturo as her teacher. I was seriously amused by her sparks, bahahaha!

With that all being said I will read more books from Mimi Strong in the future. and felt this was a good intro for me of her writing.

After graduation Zeb is traveling around the world until it's time to start music college. The first day a guy stole here parking space. After that she seems to be getting him back for it. Arturo is her teacher of her first class and she was surprised when he started writing his name on the board. When he started talking to her about her powers of being a song witch she did not believe him and thought he must of lost his mind. Zeb lost her mojo and is trying t I figure out how to get it back.

Zeb learns that she is a song witch from her music composition professor who also wants to have sex with her. Arturo is the professor - really who is named that - and also a wizard who has made lots of money day trading.

This story supposedly covers a school year, but skips to the end. Zeb did not seem to grow much in that year. Arturo is in love with her, but he seems to mostly know her from class. It just seems not fleshed out enough.

[Anima · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always count on Mimi to make you giggle. A song witch discovers her talents while enrolled in music school. Her professor is a hottie patottie and sparks are coming out of everywhere. The banter between them is sexy and funny and just goofy enough to laugh out loud, not to be done while using the elliptical at the gym (the old guy next to me did not appreciate my out burst). Quick and flirty, loved it.

[Rachel-RN · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, Zeb had a good sense of humor at the start, but then grated on my nerves. She comes across as immature. Arturo was a jerk. Then there were the sparkles. More than once. Take a wild guess where the sparkles came from (hint: have a dirty mind and you'll get it right.....ha ha).

I liked this book!

I think that it could've been better, but this wasn't an erotic story, even though there was a lot of possibilty.

I'm not this convinced about paranormal stories in general; But I liked this one though!

I can't wait for the rest of these series. I give this one 3 stars.

[Maria Dimitrova · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story spans an year which is quite uncommon for short stories. I found the plot interesting if rather predictable. The concept of waving a spell while singing isn't a new one I can't remember reading a book based on it before.

[F.R. Southerland · Rating 1 out of 5]

I really wanted to like this book. It had great premise, but it was so short that so much was glossed over and lost in translation. And there was a few weird things about magic and "sparks" that just drew me out of the story big time.

[C.J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute and funny story. Would have liked to know more about the magic.

[Michelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Something about this story just rubbed me the wrong way. I just can't quite put my finger on what it was.

[Lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story rocks!

I love the characters in this story! The main character Zeb is outrageously funny. I would really like to read more stories about her adventures.

[Fran · Rating 2 out of 5]

First time reader for Ms. Strong.

I really didn't care for this; thought it too juvenile. There wasn't much of a plot or anything for a witch story.

[Christi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quirky!

A short, fun read! The Dog prom induced by "special" brownies, a vintage pink van, purple And gold sparkles, what's not to love?

[Connie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good short story

I loved it!
I want to read more like this one!
It's a love story with witches and wizards that was funny and endearing.
Enjoy!
