It is an really nice book especially if you like books about witches. Furthermore it has some interesting plottwists I didn’t expected to happen. Moreover it is quite easy to get into the story and follow it along. All in all it was just an really nice book🫶

It was fine. I thought it was an easy but fun read. Just a tad predictable for my taste. It is YA and I am no longer that so it could be why. 

 I probably won’t continue the series but it was a nice read. I would recommend it to the youths though

4.0

A good mix of spooky themes and lesbian fluff. It’s so much fun to hate Veronica and root for Morgan. There’s a couple good twists at the end too. Even though “These Witches Don’t Burn” came out before the prequel “This Spell Can’t Last”, I highly recommend reading the prequel first it’ll give great context for the characters actions and decision making. Can’t wait to read the sequel!

I really don't know how to feel about this book. On the one hand I love the representation and the story is pretty decent, if somewhat predictable, but I also just felt something lacking. However, I know I would have loved this book more when I was a teenager. To conclude, whilst realising I am not in the target audience, I am still a little disappointed with this book overall, but I love the casual gayness.

The characters can be annoying sometimes, but I have to remind myself that they are high schoolers. Wish some parts were more thoroughly explained or delved into. Overall an easy and enjoyable read. The latter half of the book really picks up and throws some crazy events at you.
