Synopsis

When Auntie Catherine warns the family of an approaching asteroid, the Gales scramble to keep humans from going the way of the dinosaurs. Fortunately, they’re wielding a guitar and a dragon.The Gale family can change the world with the charms they cast, which has caused some supernaturally complicated family shenanigans in the past. So when NASA and Doomsday Dan confirm Auntie Catherine’s dire prediction, Charlotte “Charlie” Gale turns to the family for help.But Allie is unavailable because the universe seems determined to have her produce the seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son of a Gale. And the Aunties can’t help because they’re tied to the earth—although they are happy to provide their delicious, trademark pies. And in the end, all Charlie has is a guitar … and Jack. The Dragon Prince, and a Sorcerer.But Charlie might like Jack just a little too much, and Jack might like Charlie a little too much in return. Actually, between Allie’s hormones, the Aunties trying to force her and Jack into ritual, the Courts having way too much fun at the end of days, and Jack’s sudden desire to sacrifice himself for the good of the many, Charlie’s fairly certain that the asteroid is the least of her problems.The Gales are going to need more than pie to save the world from an incoming asteroid. But together there isn’t anything they can’t deal with—except possibly each other.

And I loved the first book in this series so much, I just really didn't want to read a book I wouldn't like. Well, I was correct... I didn't like it. Because, frankly, I seriously dislike Charlie (the he......more

Goodreads review by Bruce on November 09, 2014

Another fantastic Gale Girls/ Enchantment Emporium novel. Like most of Tanya Huffs books, I found it impossible to put down, being held back only by the need to go to work.

Goodreads review by Sylvia on March 23, 2023

It's the End of the World. With Teddy Bears. A huge rock is falling out of the sky. NASA can't fix it. The Gale girls, witches to the bone, can't fix it because it is Not Of This Earth. Charlie, musician-magician extraordinaire, can't fix it, because sound doesn't travel through space. The Gales got......more


Quotes

“With geeky in-jokes, dynamic leads, convincing romantic complications, and a threat that is both unusual and wonderfully convincing, this is an enchanting example of contemporary urban fantasy.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Combining Celtic folklore, musical references, and a love of nature and magic, this sequel to The Enchantment Emporium will appeal to Huff’s many fans and to readers who like their urban fantasy with more depth and character development.” Library Journal on The Wild Ways

“The Wild Ways is big fun from start to finish…It’s got humor and drama, it’s fast-paced and sexy…Huff doesn’t write cookie cutter characters; hers are fully rounded with many facets to their personalities. Whether you’re rejoining the Gale family or meeting them for the first time, I think you’ll be as delighted with this book as I am.” Charles de Lint, award-winning author
