title: Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Revelations (The Lily Singer Adventures, Book 2) (Volume 2)
author:  Lydia Sherrer 
description: Lydia Sherrer ups the ante in <i>Revelations</i>, the second volume in her series, <i>Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus</i>, where we find intrepid heroine and wizard Lily Singer making ever more skillful magic--and cranberry almond scones. In Book 2, Lily and her friend Sebastian Blackwell, Professional Witch, who has secrets of his own, venture into deeper and more sinister territory. Meanwhile, at home--and at the library--and in Lily's car--and everywhere else Lily is, her cat, Sir Edgar Allan Kipling, has ramped up the attitude, found his voice, and started to--glow. <P> As Lily and Sebastian increase in knowledge, wisdom, and skill it becomes clear that both they and Sherrer's skill as a writer and storyteller are growing exponentially. Sherrer's commitment to presenting fully realized characters and to the underlying moral and ethical concerns of her protagonists is skillfully blended with suspenseful tale-telling, smart dialogue, and perhaps the snarkiest feline in recent literature. Readers of Sherrer's first novel, <i>Beginnings</i>, will not be disappointed with this sequel and if you didn't read the first one, what are you doing here? Go buy Book 1 and read it--then come back here and snatch up Book 2. On second thought, just buy them both now--once you've devoured <i>Beginnings</i>, you won't want to wait. <P> Make some tea and scones first. Trust me. --Lori Brown Patrick, Editor at Grammarwitch LLC<br /><br /><i>Revelations</i> shows Lydia Sherrer s ability to raise the stakes, evoking unexpected emotions and an absolute need to know more about the characters. Between two tidy, erudite chapters lies the more unkempt, informal interlude. The book features fast-paced, imaginative story-telling, and builds on the tension formed in its prequel, <i>Beginnings</i>. <P> Sherrer delivers the same eloquent style used in her first novel with great success. Though satisfying resolution is offered, a hunger for more is sure to find readers after finishing <i>Revelations</i>. --Brittany Thibodeaux, Book Reviewer at Brittanys Lair
