Olivie Blake accomplished what no one else could: a short stories collection where every single story is good and has the perfect length.
I loved it, the first of the genre I can genuinely say I like 100% of the book.

I received this book as part of a giveaway via StoryGraph and I’m so glad I did. It’s a genuinely fun and eclectic mix of short stories. The Devil’s Advocate might have been my favorite of them all.

While it’s been awhile since I read the first Witch Way Anthology collection, I do think I prefer this collection of short stories to the last.
