Good story about the youngest and possibly least powerful of four witch sisters. While the heroine Seph doesn't arouse any lustful thoughts in this guy, she is plenty fun to watch and root on. I'm a bear fan when it comes to possible suitors / alpha males who want her. 
 A note about cliffhangers. In a book it is just that - the threads of the story end abruptly. By contrast, a well crafted series book is like mountain climbing. A goal, a summit, is reached only to find yet another summit ahead. Sixpence is this second type of series book, one that leaves me satisfied but wanting more.
