Query: Definetely trouble with magic

I'm a big fan of paranormal mysteries and was very excited to see this one come out. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in this book. It has the elements to be a great read, but I found the character annoying. I understand that the character goes through a process of "opening her mind" to other possibilities, but the constant internal monologue to this topic detracted from the story line. And the fact that she lives in a small town with close-minded people... well I got that point on page 10, and don't need to be reminded of it on page 20, 30, 40, etc.I think there is great potential with this series, and hope that the author can work out some of the more distracting elements and focus on writing the story, rather than commenting about the character's situation.
