Trouble Brewing Stirring Up Trouble Juli Alexander Books Reviews
Trouble's Brewing can be read as a stand alone, but I feel it will be more enjoyable if Stirring up Trouble is read first.
Trouble's Brewing is the second installment of Zoe, teenage witch and potion brewer. I really liked Stirring up Trouble, the first book in the series, and this is a quick fun read. I did feel there were missed opportunities and room for more depth and richer scenes. The Zoe books are fun and fast reads that teenagers, and their mothers, and grandmas, can enjoy.
The action is quick, the characters interesting. Finn is a great addition, Milo is the friend who may be more, Jake, the boyfriend but there are parent issues (read the book for that).

After reading Stirring Up Trouble by Juli Alexander, I have been looking forward to the next in the series. Trouble's Brewing did not disappoint me. Although I'm far beyond the Young Adult age group, the characterization, especially for Zoe, is so well done that I could easily imagine being a teenager again. And the Finn character is absolutely delightful. In addition, Ms. Alexander has a flair for humor that I always enjoy. During the course of this story, she dropped enough hints that I feel sure another book will follow, and again, I will be looking forward to that one. She has a vivid imagination that always leaves me wondering, "How does she come up with these ideas?" In any case, I'm just glad she does because I enjoy her books so much.
I read Stirring Up Trouble and was watching for the sequel. Trouble's Brewing (Stirring Up Trouble). The author doesn't disappoint. Her writing style is clear and humorous. The characters are clear and well-developed. Zoe, a teenage witch, has all the usual problems of being a teen writing papers, dealing with family, and trying to sneak in time to snog with her boyfriend. In addition, she has problems being a young witch, including potion mishaps and trying to keep the 'normal' world (especially her boyfriend) from finding out that she's a witch. The new character of Finn, Zoe's new potions instructor, who is a 90-year old in a (hot) 19-year old body.
The teen point of view is handled well, but not quite as well as the first book. There are a few bits when Zoe and her boyfriend are being romantic that is standard romance cliche. The writing is fresh except for those parts, and I think the author does better when not falling back on cliches. Some parts seem overdone, such as Zoe's distraught when her mother comes down with a cold. The ending was abrupt and the novel seemed a bit short.
Overall, though, it was a fun. It is quite appropriate for a young audience; it held the interest of a not-so-young reader (me). I look forward to hearing about more of Zoe's adventures and mishaps.
After Zoe's Frog Fiasco last Halloween, the Council decided that the greatest Potions Master of all time would be tutoring Zoe in all things magic. Zoe was, of course, elated! She is a huge fan of Dr. Finnegan! She was going to learn from the best of the best, and he was going to help her find substitutions for ingredients such as (her next project) unicorn horn.
There is one slight problem, though although he is in his 90s, Dr. Finnegan (or Finn) is young, gorgeous, and looks like he stepped straight off a runway! I dont know why, but I had the notion that he was going to be a cranky, strict, old man. Turns out I was quite wrong! I was surprised that I actually really liked him! He is very knowledgeable (obviously) and very, very kind, and fun! He is very gandfatherly and just really funny! He certainly amuses me )
Also, Zoe is still trying to get used the idea of her dad and her boyfriend's mom being a couple... can you say awkward? lol. Speaking of romance, Zoe and Jake... they are so cute together! I love them! Jake especially... he is really sweet!
Zoe's mom is really funny, too. She sometimes even acts like a teenager herself, and that is just hilarious! And Milo! I love him! He is such a great friend! There was a little bit of tension going on there for a little bit, and I am really hoping that there wont be a love triangle going on or anything. Also, I still strongly dislike Anya -_- Don't know how (or why!) Zoe puts up with her!
And then Zoe finds out some crazy stuff about her family. It's shocking and it really shakes Zoe to the core. Makes her think twice about her potion-making habits.
This series has become one of my fast favorites! I love the magic component and the consequences for using it for personal gain... it's so funny! It is such a light and fun read and very, very, enjoyable! I can't wait for the next installment in this series!
This series must be read in order. The first book is Stirring Up Trouble. This is the second book. There is a companion story called Camp Cauldron that can be read at any time. I can't wait to find out what Milo and Zoe get up to in the next book Here Comes Trouble!!!
