On Hallowe'en night, Mathilda Honeycutt finds out she's a SuperWitch. Not the modern, hippie kind...the real, wand-wielding, pixie-dust kind. After a life devoted to retail and coffee drinks, Mathilda is thrown into the secret world of witches, werewolves, vampires, faeries, you name it, it exists!

As Mathilda discovers her magic, she also discovers she's prophesied to save the world. The problem is, she'd rather spend her time on online auctions bidding on fabulous designer shoes.

Now, she's got to save the world, run her coffee house and figure out what's going on with the silent, watchful (but yummy) Sebastian Wilding and brainy, charismatic (and hot) Dr. Aidan Seymour.

Making matters worse, her nemesis is a powerful witch who doesn't mind fighting dirty.

Will Mathilda be able to save the world while still being perfectly accessorized? And how is she going to pick between Luscious Sebastian and Dreamy Aidan?

Lastly, will she ever get the hang of riding around on a broom?

Fun read

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

I’ve read every book Kristen Ashley has out there. Certainly some I like better than others, but I’ve been interested while reading each one. I put off reading Mathilda’s story because of book reviews. Silly me. So when the second book of Mathilda was released I knew I needed to read the first one. It was a fun read. Sure, different than many of her other books, but I don’t mind when a writer stretches themselves to explore their muse. Mathilda was that kind of story line. Funny, easy read that I enjoyed. Also I can count on her books to be well edited which I greatly appreciate. Hate purchasing books that are filled with spelling and grammatical errors. Ms Ashely’s are always well done.

Mathilda, Ash & Aiden

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020

This was written years ago and was enjoyed by me then. I just never reviewed it. It has recently been updated (quite a bit) and seems almost like a new story, one I enjoyed. Mathilda is a young witch coming into her powers which are supposed to be quite strong. As she processes the training, she has two very hot alpha males seeking her favor, Aiden and Ash. Who will win her? Sweet read with lots of twists and turns. No cliffhanger but there is a continuing issues running into book 2 which is thankfully now ready for me to read.

Stick with this book... It's worth it!

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014

Before reading this, I read a lot of the reviews on Goodreads. They are all over the place with ratings, but I decided to give it a go anyway. I am so glad that I stuck with it!

Yes, Mathilda, SuperWitch is written and diary style. And yes, when you begin to read it, it is quite annoying. What annoyed me the most wasn't the diary style of writing so much, it was all Mathilda's inner thoughts after inner thoughts and brackets upon brackets within the book. It took a while for me to train my mind to ignore them.

Mathilda herself was also quite annoying at times. She is a 34 year old woman, but the way she carries on and by the way that she thinks, she could have just as easily been 15. She came off as quite immature, and she was such a drama queen!

After I got past my issue with Mathilda's inner thoughts and all the brackets within the story, the book actually flowed quite nicely and I was totally hooked!

There's a taste of every paranormal and magical creature in this story. There's a lot of action and a story line that kept me guessing throughout. There are TWO heroes with totally opposite personalities, but who are both equally lovable.

I thought the book ended quite well. The storyline, for the most part, finished nicely. The annoying thing? We as readers are left wondering which of the two heroes Mathilda is going to choose! We are left hanging! Without even the tiniest clue as to which was she is going to swing!

I sure hope that the sequel to Mathilda, SuperWitch isn't too far away. I feel for those who have read it in previous years and are still waiting for the second book!

Book of Shadows reads fast

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I gave a four out of five stars because the design of the book is not enjoyable. It's a bad play by play diary of sorts. Not an actual smoothly flowing book, so going into the read knowing this might be helpful. Wish I knew since it never became comfortable for me.
The main character is Mathilda and she is a HOOT. Wish the other female characters had more depth. Lots of funny parts. Many names and small stoeies in the book which makes this SCREAM for a series...But Amazon isn't showing this as an option. Shock, especially since it is an earlier work of Kristin Ashley.

Heroine\protangonist is Matty/Mathilda. She reads like a Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum character. Then bring on the equally strong dominant men, Aidan and Ash.
Oh, be ready to have every single character get Nick name, even two, and try to keep up. Very childish.
Anyway, the side kicks can be more bland than substantial however a few get parts in some humor laugh aloud scenes.

Wouldn't mind giving this a chance if indeed a series spins off. There was enough to peak interests in Aidan, Ash, Mavis, and Addison not to mention BecBec and Josie and Rory.

So, for supernatural humor and fast read, worth a go!

Actually finished!

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020

I never finished the original Mathilda book. First, I'm not a fan of journal stories. Second, I'm not a fan of the love triangle trope.

Now, I gave this one another try now that it's been revamped. I do have to say it's MUCH better than I remember it was. Still, not a fan of journal stories or love triangles. I'm used to KA alpha men who will NOT share and not only is this a choice between two men, she's in love with both and seeing both. These two men are sharing... I REALLY don't like that either. Sigh.

Still, it was entertaining, fun read that is totally KA with Matty and her fashion, boy craziness and friends. Just not a lot of romance that isn't small scenes with each guy.

BTW, I'm rooting for Ash.

Better the 2nd time around.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020

I don’t know what happened, but the 1st time I read this book I only gave it 2stars; it was so much better the 2nd time around. I still don’t like the love triangle it’s an annoyance & pet peeve but I enjoyed the a overall book. Matilda and the crazy things she say and the messes she gets herself into reminds me of Ally & India it’s hilarious 😆
I’m moving happily along to Book 2.

Not as bad as I expected it to be

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a HUGE KA fan, I put this off because of the bad reviews. Now that I've read the book, I'm wondering why?!? So, to be fair, it is different from her other books but you can tell it's pure KA. It has many elements of her other books. The characters - awesome. Ash and Aidan, HOT. The world-building and the setup, very good. I was nervous about the journal-style writing, that didn't detract from the story in any way for me.

I think more people should give this a chance. It was a fun, lighthearted book. I actually hope we get to see more of Mathilda!

** SPOILERS **

The two guys, that was a twist. I was sure it would be resolved, it wasn't. For some reason, the love triangle didn't bother me as much as I expected it to. I actually liked both guys, if I had to pick, I'm not sure that I could. Ash? Aidan?

Different but right up my alley!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I mean this was different but really right up my alley as I love KA and witchy reads are so cool especially in adult format!!!!

Firstly, I listened to the audio and loved the narrator, Susannah Jones!

Next, this story was actually set in my city! Claim to fame right there and it was full of English things like Tesco and English TV, love that!

So basically Mathilda is 30 and just found out she is a witch and a witch who is the object to a prophesy, the chosen one. She is all over the place, a bit kooky and a lot of fun.

Oh did I mention that she has to marry one of 2 men but she doesn't know which one from the prophesy? I hate a love triangle but I persevered but I certainly had my fave!

This was sort of told in calender month, diary format, was action packed, funny and hawt in that normal KA style!

One criticism, the word 'ack' was used so much I wanted to scream!

And that ending. Wholly unsatisfying! And why isn't the guy that I don't like from their triangle not dead?!!!

I was prepared not to like this book, I’d read mixed reviews and although I love all of KA’s other books (I’m a bit of an addict!) I wasn’t sure if a diary like book was for me...... I could not be more wrong, I loved Mathilda and all of her coven, so many wonderful characters who I need to know more about and don’t even get me started on Aiden and Ash (I’m hoping for a #why choose moment as I’m not sure how she can choose between the two!) I feel like there is so much more to tell in the stories started in this book and I really hope we get some more.

Super funny, action packed, romance, yummy men...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2012

I came across this book by accident and I am so glad I did !

This book is written in diary format, as Mathilda has just discovered that she is from a long line of witches and tha she is prophised to be a Super Witch, hence she starts her own Book of Shadows.

Mathilda is a fashion concious American, who moves to England to help her aunt re-establish her coffee shop. Along the way, she meet lots of new people, supernatural or normal. She also meets two yummy men ( broody Ralph Fiennes type Sebastian aka Ash is my fave :))

There is so much about this book that I love - thats its mostly set in the UK, Mathilda is very funny, loves her clothes etc, Becbec the fairy, Mathilda's aunt and that the story never lags or gets boring !

I have kept this review short as i don't want to spoil the story for anyone, and i want everyone to enjoy it as i did !

Overall, very funny, magic, otherworld creatures, romance, two sexy men and a great story line - what more could i ask for ?

SO buy it now peeps, you won't be disappointed !

Definately a keeper....so when is the next book out ?

A little different but a fantastic read!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm a huge fan of Kristen's books but when I started reading Mathilda I wasn't quite sure what to expect....

It's a bit different from the series that I love - Dream Man, The Three, Unfinished Heroes (and I'm sure the upcoming Chaos series!!) - you know the ones: hot, heavy & sexy - but it's still a fantastic read. Nowhere near as steamy as you would expect from KA but the romance was still there.

Kristen took a girl who had no idea she was a witch and threw her into the magic world. She chucked in a kooky family, a witch coven, some great & loyal friends, a trendy coffee shop and 2 hot and very competetive 'bodyguards'.
The plot was really good - there were a few twists and turns, a lot of laugh out loud moments, a few 'gasp & I can't believe its' - which had me a little bit teary eyed - and an ending that set us up for a future book on the life and times of Mathilda and her friends!!

Definitely in the 'read again' category.... Check out Mathilda now, you'll be glad you did!!!

Frustrating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2017

As always. Imaginative, descriptive and incredibly well written, but it was definitely a set up for the next in series, so nothing resolved. Not a problem if you know next soon, but no sign next book. If you love Kristen, which I do, then I recommend buying when next in series published so you don't feel frustrated with end.
