Full of exciting twists and snarky humor, book two of the Lily Singer adventures will leave you wondering if some truths are best left unknown.
Industry Reviews
Lydia Sherrer ups the ante in Revelations, the second volume in her series, Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus, 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.
As both 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, Beginnings, will not be disappointed with this sequel.

I never thought it possible to find a book more enjoyable than the first installment of 'Love, Lies and Hocus Pocus,' but Lydia Sherrer has really outdone herself, presenting one crazy adventure after the next in the sequel. Sir Kipling's ability to communicate with humans left me laughing out loud in many places.
With the mystery deepening on each page, I found myself unable to stop reading until the very end. Lydia Sherrer has captured the love and family connection between human and feline perfectly. This is a book that will not only be enjoyed by those who love a dose of mystery, magic and humor, but also by cat lovers worldwide.

Revelations shows Lydia Sherrer's ability to raise the stakes, evoking unexpected emotions and an absolute need to know more about the characters...The book features fast-paced, imaginative storytelling, and builds on the tension formed in its prequel, Beginnings.
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 Revelations.
