How would you like to be suddenly turned into a toad and spend the next seven years of your life eating things that fly while avoiding the local swamp fox? Uh, not. Elena didn't particularly like it, either, and when she managed to break the curse, only because she was able to maintain a wee part of her training during the transformation, she wants to know who did it to her, and seek her revenge.
A vine witch, she is adept at producing good wines. Being gone for so long, her "grandmother" could not keep the vinyard producing the proper wines, and sold it, but was allowed to remain as chief cook and bottle washer. When Elena returns, a man who believes in science, not magic, own the winery and she must convince him there is a place for both, or he will lose his investment.
This book is fun, from page one to page last. Hard to believe it's a debut novel. Her world is marvelous, and believable. I suggest starting it early and reading it straight through. If you have young children who demand attention and food now and then—send them to Grandma's for the day. This is a one sit read, and it's awful when it must be put down for any reason at all.
