Solid romance, I didn’t expect to like the second in the series as much as I did the first, but I did. The author sets it up so you like all three sisters enough to want to read about all of them. A light hearted romantacy.

A fantastic, quirky, and wonderful read! I really enjoyed this book starting from page one. My type of rom-com book has a flare of fantasy, lots of banter back and forth, and a slow burn. This book gave me everything I wanted and more. With supernatural elements set in present day, it is magical realism/low fantasy fiction with sisterly & family love, a handsome, broody MMC, and irresistible rescue animals! Who wouldn’t love this?!

Rose Maxwell, the middle sister of the Maxwell triplets, has recently been released from her Prima witch duties as her older sister finally received her powers. Now that Rose is able to do whatever she wants, she has no clue what she wants (typical, right?). She decides rule-breaking is top of her list of activities to try, now that she is not under the strict guidance of the reigning Prima, her grandmother Edie. One night of rule-breaking sets Rose down a path of serving community service hours at an animal sanctuary. Lucky for her, it’s with grumpy and handsome veterinarian, Damian Adams. Damian is half demon and has secrets of his own - his bad boy attitude comes from years of fighting and Hunting, taking down other demons. Rose learns that Damian’s hard exterior might just be all bark - but she doesn’t know why he keeps everyone at arms length. Damian, of course, has a secret. He doesn’t allow himself close to anyone, or to develop feelings, because of the curse that has been set upon him by an ex.

The banter between Rose and Damian was great - I audibly laughed out loud several times in this book. I came into this book blind (after getting the ARC approval) and have not read the first Supernatural Singles book - it wasn’t necessary. I will be adding them to my list now, though! The Maxwell sisters stole my heart and I will come back to this series solely for their sisterly bond. Can they adopt me, please?!

If you’re a fan of “I hate everyone but you,” forced proximity, “who hurt you”, or grump/sunshine, you’ll love this book.

I would give it a 5 star rating and 3 spice rating.

Thank you Net Galley and April Asher for this read!

This third person, dual pov, witchy rom com was the perfect sequel!
- grumpy half demon vet who’s great with the animals he cares for
- sunshine witch looking for her calling after being released from Prima Apparent duties
- moderate spice

Thank you netgalley for my digital ARC!
funny lighthearted medium-paced

Cute witchy rom-com with a bit of spice. 
Just what I needed. 

I understand this this is part of a series, and that I have not read book 1., I am thinking that I should. This book had some great interactions between the sisters and the other characters. I enjoyed the dynamics and the banter between the sisters and the other characters. I really enjoyed this book and before I read the next one I am going to go back and read the first one of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review
