FROM GOODREADS: Reformed bad witch Grizelda “Zelda” Watson had hoped to never see another vampire again when she slipped away to sunny California for a fresh start. She'd grown tired of them and their nonsense ages ago. But when a vampire with amnesia unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep with a letter from her old friend Reggie, and asks for her help, she can’t say no. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Peter Elliott is tall and gorgeous, looks great in yoga shorts, and has the kind of dark hair and surly expression Zelda’s been a sucker for hundreds of years. 

Peter isn’t completely harmless—he is fanged, after all—but he’s harmless enough and soon becomes the only person in Zelda’s new life who knows the truth about what she is. If she can help him decipher the cryptic notes in his journal, the only clues to his lost memories, she might as well try before sending him on his way. 

But when an alarming message from Peter's past coincides with a clear sign that Zelda can't keep running from her own, they embark on a cross-country road trip for answers—only to find what they're looking for in each other.

MY THOUGHTS: This is the third and final book in this series and I can honestly say I love it as much as the previous two. Although I also have to admit Reggie is still my favorite character so book two will always be a fave. 

Zelda Watson is co-owner of a yoga studio in California.  You might think her biggest problem is trying to understand the upcoming "yoga with a goat" event her partners are promoting.  However, that is not the case.  Zelda is a 400 plus year old witch who used to love stirring up trouble. Ten years ago, hoping to escape her past, she staged her own death and is now hiding her powers.  But this practice has also complicated her life.  And speaking of complicated, she now has a vampire with amnesia her old friend Reggie has sent her way hoping she can assist him in some way.

Zelda immediately feels an attraction to Peter, but it takes some time before she is convinced to help him.  When she realizes helping him can also serve to help her with her with magic troubles, the two embark on a road trip to Chicago to help Peter uncover his memories.  Neither knows what awaits when that happens but as the miles go by, it becomes increasingly evident that whatever it is, it won't be good.

This series is just so much fun.  I honestly thought the series was only a duology because there were only two vampire main characters, so I was thrilled when Levine made Zelda the witch the focus of book three. I really enjoy a good road trip book, and this one was extra fun because it involved supernatural entities. If you are looking for a fun way to spend a few hours, definitely give this series a go!
