***3.5 stars*** Really cute! I wish I’d saved it for closer to Halloween, though… fluffy romance with a lightly spooky vibe, perfect for fall!

A great, easy going quick read! I’m a sucker for all cheesy romance stories and this one does not disappoint. A fun mix of then spooky witchy story line along with the classical enemies to lovers story line, I am a big fan of this book! I do wish the climax and ending went on just a tiny bit more (maybe another chapter?) but overall a big fan!

Cute and fun and light again! Loved being back in Graves Glen. Nothing to dislike, things just resolved super easily and quickly.

An absolutely terrific sequel!

I was disappointed to I see so many biphobic reviews, and I think people are missing the point. While I, too, was initially disappointed to see this book wasn’t f/f, that doesn’t make Gwyn any less bi. The bi spectrum encompasses all sorts of attraction, and it seemed like her relationship with Jane in the first book wasn’t what she wanted out of a long-term relationship. Actually, I think Gwyn’s attraction to Wells definintely shows she has a type— a little straightlaced and very focused seems to be a common denominator between the two.

Wells initially comes off as stern and emotionless, but the chemistry between the two of them ignites from the very start. I love a good sunshine/grump dynamic, and watching both of them learn to work together was very fun. They were also surprisingly good communicators, but seeing Wells fall head-over-heels was the most satisfying part of the book.

Since both Wells and Gwyn are prolific magic users, we also get to see a lot more magic in this book! Besides teaching us more about how magic is regularly used, Gwyn’s baby witches are very experimental, and watching their efforts was great fun. They added to the queerness of the book, and I just adored their loyalty and general air of chaos. I hope to see more of them in future books, as they were an absolute delight!

A fun and magical romp with a very satisfying romance, perfect for the fall season! Just remember, just because a bi person is in a straight-passing relationship does not make them any less bi. You do not need to date anyone to prove your queerness, friends!

This book was provided to me through Edelweiss and Avon for an honest review.
