Luckily Dime Store Magic can work perfectly as a stand alone story and most of the missing elements I could very well guess without reading the first two parts of the series. Some time ago, I began reading Bitten, the first installment in the series, but after the first twenty pages in which the werewolf Elena only moped and went for a jog to relief her aggravation I could not make myself concentrate any longer. That is why Dime Store Magic is actually the first novel in the Women of the Otherworld series that I read in whole and I started it only because Amanda, the editor of this site, recommended it very strongly. As I said, it is a horrible habit that made me, for example, read Harry Potter after practically every one else in the world did, because when I reached for it the first time, I decided that no way can any story with flying motorcycles be of any interest to me. If a book does not manage to capture my attention after the first twenty or so pages, I just throw it away and move to the next interesting read.
