Going Nowhere by Lena North
Going Nowhere is a fun-filled frolic with angels, shifters, witches, and glitter-farting unicorns. If you are after a heavy, angst-laden book, then I'm sorry, but you've found the wrong one!

This is an action-packed book that has romantic elements to it, but it doesn't overrule the whole story. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, in fact, far too many to count. I loved this book from start to finish. With its crazy family, and heart-warming characters, plus there is always which one Hibiscus will go for?!

A brilliant story that I hope will be the start of a new series. Excellently written, with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow. I thoroughly enjoyed every word, and really can't recommend this lighthearted novel highly enough.

* Verified Purchase ~ October 2018. *

The Scottish Play, Discworld style!
(From the blurb):

"Witches are not by their nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn't have. But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe ... "

An early Discworld novel (only #6 in a series that has just reached the 40 mark), this is also only the second appearance of Granny Weatherwax (after Equal Rites) and, I believe, the first of Nanny Ogg or Magrat Garlick.

The plot, of course, is loosely based around that of MacBeth (or 'The Scottish Play', for those of a superstitious nature), with plenty of other Shakespearean references thrown in for good measure.

Well worth a read, but be prepared to be getting funny looks if you burst out laughing while reading it in public!
