Conversations with the Tarot: Bewitching Meditations on Reading the CardsConversations with the Tarot: Bewitching Meditations on Reading the Cards by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a lot of fun to read, and I felt like I learned a ton. I loved getting the author’s perspective of her tarot cards. As a person who doesn’t know a lot about tarot it was a refreshing read. I enjoyed each poem she wrote, and who knows maybe they’ll come in handy in the future. If you have any interest in learning anything about tarot, I highly recommend this book and this author!

I really enjoyed this series, and I am sad it has come to an end. I loved this one as much as the first two. The fun “banter” between everyone was my favorite part, it made the book relatable to me. There was lots of chemistry jumping off the pages and just enough romance to keep me wanting more. This author has a new fan, and I can’t wait to see what comes next from her.

This is one of my favorite series to read to my kids! They love the adventures with Jophiel and even love pretending they have a Jophiel of their own. I personally enjoy getting to “visit” different places while reading the books, this time to Japan. The author paints such vivid picture that it makes you feel like you’re in Japan with Tally and Jophiel. We love this series and can’t wait to see what comes next!

I’m really enjoying this series, I am so glad I got to read this enemies to lovers romance. I really like how complex the plot of the books is. It makes reading it that much better, but also makes me very excited to read the next book in the series. I’m glad I was able to read the prequel, it’s not necessary but it helped me understand better. The chemistry of Cole and Riley flew off the pages and let me feel the emotions. Great read. Highly Recommend!

This book was a lot of fun and lead to a lot of conversations about bee’s and what they do for us. Those conversations lead to more research and learning about bees. Since I am allergic to bee’s we wont get a chance to make a beehive for our backyard, that this book provided instructions for, but it was great to learn how to do! I love how this author’s books always lead to better conversations for us. I would recommend!

This is book 2 in the series, and I loved it just as much as thee first if not more. So much happening that keeps you hooked and guessing what happens next. I think you should read book 1 before this one so that you get the full story. It was easy going from book 1 to book 2 and I am so glad I got to read them back to back and didn’t need to wait. Read this series today, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for book 3!
