By night? She sleeps, of course. In between, she studies magic and tries to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. Unfortunately, trouble comes looking for her on a regular basis. When Sebastian needs help breaking a magical curse, Lily knows things are not as they seem. Their quest to unravel the truth and free a tormented soul uncovers hints about Lily's mysterious past--and those working to hide it from her. As if that were not enough, Sebastian gets them stuck in a time loop and Lily must track down the culprit. But they are not the only ones interested in this strange phenomenon, and it becomes a race to the source of the magical disturbance, with all their lives hanging in the balance. Full of unexpected twists and snarky humor, Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings is book one of the Lily Singer Adventures urban fantasy series. If you enjoy magic-filled adventures like Harry Potter and Supernatural, then you'll love this delightful new series. Pick up Beginnings and enter your magical escape today! Gmomaj | Sep 10, 2022 | Split into two halves, this novel features a wizard, Lily Singer, and a witch, Sebastian Barrington, using ancient Sumerian (the oldest known written language) to cast magic. Lily is a wizard because she was born able to touch “the Source” of magic in the world, whereas Sebastian was not, so he has to manipulate magical beings, like the fae, in order to do magic. The first half of the book sees Lily helping Sebastian, who hires himself out to break curses and exorcise ghosts from ancient Georgian homes, break a 100-year-old curse on a plantation house which a man, cursed by his jilted lover, has haunted since his death. In the second half of the book, Lily once again helps Sebastian, this time to recover an ancient clay magical device called a lugal-nam, which controls time. While each story is well written and interesting, the book as a whole would have hung together better if the two stories had been intertwined. For a first novel, it’s still a fun and interesting read, and refreshingly demonstrates the ancient Sumerian love of magic, moving magical stories decidedly away from some writers’ love of Latin.

Each part was good but I honestly only remember the first part...
Apparently each part of the story introduces characters for the future books.
I powered through the book because I listened to the audiobook while I was doing chores and walking and wanted to finish it.
I'm going to have to re listen to this one though before I move on to the next book in the series and will update my review at that time. (
