As if being a high school student isn’t already hard enough, Bobby Hawthorne and his best friend, Angelina Dellapicallo, struggle to understand the emerging secrets of witchcraft and magic — secrets strictly guarded by Bobby’s overprotective mother and her friends. The unexpected appearance of his spirited grandfather sets in motion a series of events that sweep the young teens down a dangerous path — one inhabited by an ancient evil that threatens not only Bobby and Angelina but their whole community of witches as well.
Pixies can’t stop the hellhounds . . . but they have sounded the alarm . . . and the magic users must respond . . .
Son of a Kitchen Witch eBook Tim Hemlin
I'm a big fan of YA and Urban Fantasy, especially when they take a turn away from the usual and this story does that quite well. To start, you've got a first person narrative by a teen boy, which is already unusual, and you've got a semi-suburban setting in Texas, which does nothing to diminish the urban part of the urban fantasy.Add in an eclectic cast of witches, classmates, family, and other folks, and you've got the beginning of what looks to be a great series. To me, what really sold it was how real it felt. Bobby's mother tries to protect him and in doing so, makes him feel a bit smothered. This to me makes sense. And Bobby himself isn't some wunderkind who comes out of nowhere with amazing powers no adult has. He has just as many limitations and failures as everyone else.
There was a bit at the end that I felt was a little rushed, but beyond that, the story flowed well. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Son of a Kitchen Witch eBook Tim Hemlin Reviews
This is my first book by this author. I read the blurb of the story and new I just had to read this story. I love reading paranormal books that have witches and magic in them. I was really impressed on how the Author wrote this story. I really enjoyed this book.
The characters were very fun to read about. Bobby is the main character and his mom's a witch and he really doesn't care. I loved how the author wrote the characters they were great.
The plot was interesting and kept me reading till the very end. A great well written fun YA paranormal story. Recommend to my readers who love paranormal and YA reads.
I received a ARC of this book to give a honest review.
I think this was my favorite Tim Hemlin book yet. First person point of view puts us in the head of Bobby Hawthorne and Tim perfectly catches the way teens kinda skip around in thoughts and speech. Like starting a point and realizing other details would be needed so hopping off the thought to the explanation and then zipping back to the thought. I get the feeling there's a lot more to this story and to Bobby than we've seen in this book. And I hope to read that story (or stories). Angelina was a pretty cool female character though i think she was played to the back a little too much. Maybe she'll come more to the front in another book as Tim shows us what Crystal means about Bobby carrying that day for all time. I want to also see what happens next with Cactus Rose, Pappy, and Silas. Great read and Tim used plenty of substitution words so there's no profanity that I can recall and the client is never graphic nor unwarranted. If you let your kids watch/read LOTR or Harry Potter, this book is more than safe enough for them.
Bobby Hawthorne Jr was your typical teenager, not one of then IT crowd, but mainly left alone except by Jimmy Pearson, he knew which buttons to press to make Bobby really angry especially when it came to his best friend and secret crush Angelina Dellapicallo. The only thing that made him different to all the other teenagers was that his mom was a witch. Olivia was a chef and owner of a restaurant, she had been running it by herself since her husband died when Bobby was young. She manages to keep her secret from her neighbours even with Jax the pixie flitting about and with her close friends Crystal and Earlene help keep Bobby safe, much to the annoyance of Bobby who feels that they are keeping far too many secrets and when his granddad turns up he knows to be worried. With the appearance of hellhounds and the dark magic getting stronger can Bobby and his witchy friends survive.
It was nice to have a main character with flaws, Bobby was not your perfect teenager, his anger issues got him referred to a counsellor which even in today’s society is still not a subject that is openly discussed. The story highlighted how close Bobby and Angelina were and although they did fancy each other, it showed that their friendship was a lot stronger than a teenage crush. When Bobby shared his secret with Angelina it showed how mature Angelina was and enforced how much trust they had with each other. Olivia was an overprotective mother, but with what happened to her husband you could understand why. The inclusion of the minor characters was explained in detail and one of my favourite characters was Cactus Rose, who Bobby found out to be his Great Aunt. A witch who was not afraid to dabble with the dark side.
Having read the author’s mystery book, I can say without a doubt, that he is definitely a multi genre author and yet again has written an exciting story. This story is full of action with a hint of mystery and with the use of magic anything is possible. A great read which will suit young and older readers alike and with the story finishing with the hint of book 2 I hope it will not be long before I read more of Bobby’s adventures.
I have read most of Tim Hemlins books...some several times...and enjoyed them all.
The characters are so vivid, it’s difficult to applaud the performance of one or other. Of course, Bobby and Angelina are “hors concours”. It’s pure Wicca without hyperbole. Suspense at the right moments and intensity. Even though the acme of the yarn is the lack of a solid winner – balance is what makes the world go ‘round –, a sequel is almost mandatory.
"I know the words but not the magic behind them." Bobby's a bit of a squib in Harry Potter terms, but with so much heart. Son of a Kitchen Witch is full of humor and suspense, making for a great read.
I love this book, the exciting, enrapturung story line captured my imagination immediately. I couldn't stop reading till the,end.
I'm hard to please. I don't care for gratuitous sex or violence and love fascinating plot twists and character development. This story has my favorite things and more.
I'm waiting with excitement for the second installment. Timothy Hemlin is an author worth reading, savoring, and then rereading. I've read this book four times, a very rare occurrence. Read, and enjoy! Share as a gift with a friend!
