5 stars for this wonderfully witchy book! Reading about Emmy Harlow’s return to Thistle Grove was magical, reading about why she left made me mad, and reading about what happens after her return had me smiling. 

All the different  relationships between the characters was lovely and angering at the same time. Some people were good and kind, others were complicated, and some were just the worst and I loved to hate them! 

I can’t wait to continue with this series!

This book is a well-written, cozy witchy read with a major subplot of sapphic romance. I’ve read other cozy reads like this, but this one was the most well written in sentence structure, voice, etc. The turn of events in the third challenge and after that felt like there were plot holes and unanswered questions, and some quick resolutions, but overall I enjoyed the story, the characters, the ending, and the twists. I’m excited to read the rest of the series!

I am impressed with how much I liked this book. Although the romance is fade to black, Talia & Emmy make a cute well developed couple. Its a pseudo coming of age mixed with destiny fulfillment with a light hearted energy and some inventive insults. I’ll be on the look out for more from Lana Harper.

Such fun! Witchy, magic-packed, an ode to Fall and small town life, romantic, sexy, funny a strong sense of place… I love all the things about this book. What else could there possibly be to love? It’s the first in a series! Yay! The only way I could’ve been more delighted would be if it had been a touch longer and some of the secondary characters had more face time so they could be more developed. A new October favourite for me.
