It was the plot description of Jenn McKinlay’s Witches of Dubious Origin that inspired me to pick it up (and then realize I’d enjoyed another of her books in 2024, Love at First Book). With a librarian heroine, witches, and magic spells, this one is an entertaining and plot twisting cozy fantasy read. Zoe Ziakas…
This is what joy feels like – Charlotte Stein’s How to Help a Hungry Werewolf is so funny and steamy and adorably cute – a hilarious slow burn paranormal romantic comedy. It’s tongue in cheek, and celebrates all the silliness of everything mystical and magical. I loved it! Cassie Camberwell, is back in town cleaning…
With Halloween coming up, this month’s TBR Challenge theme is “Spooky (Gothic)”. I tried a couple of old gothics from my TBR, but neither of them stuck. So, I went in the direction of a darker-than-usual historical novel from an author whose historical romances I’ve enjoyed in the past. In a way, I would definitely…
Having read and reviewed April Asher’s Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, the third book in her Supernatural Singles series, I went back and read book two, Not Your Ex’s Hexes, which stars another of the three witchy Maxwell sisters, Rose. Rose had trained to be the Prima (the head witch) on the Supernatural Council to succeed…
Melinda Taub already has the excellent Still Star-Crossed under her belt, so I’m not surprised this take on Pride and Prejudice is playful, well-written, and original. But The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch does a lot more – it makes you rethink Lydia as a character and adds new layers to Austen’s book’s characters…

Not Your Ex’s Hexes is light romantic fantasy to the extreme. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, and although it’s cheesy, it’s mostly the good kind of cheesy, and provides a fun ride. Rose Maxwell is one of the Magic Triad, triplet sisters who are (mostly – oldest sister Violet, heroine of Not the Witch You…
Witcha Gonna Do? possesses an extremely light, fluffy tone with a supremely modern voice. Some of the plot bores and some of the worldbuilding is weak, For some folks this book will be like having to listen to someone complain about their Starbucks order while driving them to a Pilates class. But for others, its…
Jayne Castle brings fans back to the playful fantasy universe she created with her Ghost Hunters universe in Sweetwater and the Witch. The quirky home of living Dust Bunnies and unexpected magic, it’s a lot of fun to delve into, but this definitely isn’t the kind of series one picks up midstream, so if you’re…
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches do not have a regular meeting place, nor a regular meeting time. They come together in summery gardens, in cozy tea rooms, and in far-flung lands. This is how young Mika Moon was raised. She’s the junior to the group’s flock of senior witches – Agatha, Hilda, Sophie,…
