I was originally denied for this title pretty quickly by Hachette Audio and I was really sad but my girl Estelle from Forever came throughhh with the widget! Thank you so much to Forever, Carly, and NetGalley for the advance audiobook!

This was definitely one of my most anticipated reads of Fall 2024. The catchy title and beautiful cover immediately drew me in and the release date nestles perfectly with my spooky reading season tbr. The title is so modern and appropriate for the plot and I love it! I’m so glad I was able to add an early audio of this title to my tbr!

The first 50% was very slow burn on the romance and the plot line and it had a lot of fluffy fill and backstory. At that point it was about 3 stars. But I got more invested in the story after that when the plot and the romance (

Thank you so much to Forever and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

This fall has been the hunt for contemporary set, slightly paranormal romances that I love. So I was excited for this witchy, enemies to lovers romance.

Sadly I just didn't enjoy the writing style or humor of this.

This book is very whimsical and quirky. And I just wasn't enjoying that style or the characterizations of either MC. This also relies heavily on the MCs keeping secrets, and I've just found that, that trope often frustrates me out of enjoyment.

If you really enjoy cozy mysteries or quirky families, I think this is still worth giving a read! It's just a style you're either going to love or not vibe with.

Terrible writing. Not engaging at all. Narrator used a horrible Southern accent.

i dont think i ever read a book where the main character was so bland it was clearly a mistake to make her the main character

I'm a sucker for a witchy romance so this one was right up my alley! This was a sexy, fun, and very funny story. Great world building and lovable, memorable main characters. My one nitpick is that I had a little bit of trouble keeping track of the women in Delia's family - with a Mom and a Grandmother, maybe there was one too many aunts? But that's a very minor complaint I loved the story, loved the romance - and there was even some intrigue and suspense to keep those pages turning.

As other reviewers have said, I hope this turns out to be the first of a series - I'd love to go back and revisit the witches of Willow Root! (Maybe a romance for Amy next?)
