It's a 3.75 - 4.0 range. More entertaining that I initially thought and will gladly read the sequel. Fantastic job from the narrator (Kristen DiMercurio). The world building/rules of the witches is simple but interesting, but I hated

the use of "reg" to speak of magicless humans 😅

So, the story behind reading this book goes a little something like this:
1) I saw the cover for the sequel, loved it, and added it to my TBR (completely unaware that it was a sequel).
2) Upon finding out it was a sequel, I removed it and added the first book in the series to my TBR.
3) It happened to be available on Libby at the start of October, so I checked it out as an audiobook.
4) After listening to it, I was immediately thankful for the fact that I'm not a cover-buyer and that I wait to purchase books after I've read and loved them.
5) As fun as the cover is, I was not the biggest fan of the book itself (and I'm still debating whether or not to read the sequel).

This book wasn't a fun read in the slightest. It featured incredibly toxic characters in even more toxic relationships. It had a huge focus on death and grief that really altered the vibe of the book at a certain point. There were so many dark, heavy moments that it took away from any of the interesting, mysterious plotlines. The entire time I was listening, I kept hoping that it would pick up and things would be more of the typical "YA pep" I was in the mood for, but instead, I felt very melancholy by the end.

This just wasn't for me. I think the writing was good and so I gave it stars for that, but I just didn't enjoy the story much at all.

these witches don't burn was very predictable at times and sometimes i didn't exactly vibe with the writing, but it got a lot darker than i expected and it definitely sucked me in so much that i'll probably also read the sequel

Loved this reading.  Magic and covens with sapphic riddled through out - including not only the MC’s first ex gf but also another budding potential love interest.  

Unexpected villians and betrayals left me shocked and I’m so glad I own the second as ill be reading it asap.

Loved the characters, just didn't expect the story to be so intense (check tws!).

Thrilling plot that keeps you guessing until the last few pages.

It was also really nice to just have a book with a main plot (witches) where the mc happens to be queer, without that being the super special catch about the story.

3.0

These Witches Don’t Burn is a fun read. It has excellent LGBTQIA+ representation and quite the diverse cast of characters. It’s an excellent pallet cleanser between heavier books and the speed makes it easy to get through. That being said, it is very simple and borderline predictable.
