I’ll give this one a flat 3 out of five enjoyment from me. Honestly the first half felt gimmicky and flat. It was a lot, and I mean a lot, of telling not showing. Often times repeatedly. 

But! The second half really picked up and once the pieces all fell into place the story actually took hold. The stakes increased with every mistake and Hannah’s reactions felt very real. I don’t cry for books often and twice I was tearing up. 

For a YA some of the silly teen-isms are to be expected. I’m glad I pushed through to read the second half. It was fun.

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.

A good mix of spooky themes and lesbian fluff. It’s so much fun to hate Veronica and root for Morgan. There’s a couple good twists at the end too. Even though “These Witches Don’t Burn” came out before the prequel “This Spell Can’t Last”, I highly recommend reading the prequel first it’ll give great context for the characters actions and decision making. Can’t wait to read the sequel!

Not mind-blowing but a fun read, I'd probably have more to talk about if I read the sequel - as it feels it left a lot quite unresolved here. Always a sucker for elemental magic, and I like how that was described in vivid detail.

Good premise with sapphic witches but disappointingly predictable from the start. The main character's decisions made no sense at times given what was happening to her, moving the story towards the obvious "reveal" when in-universe it made no sense to behave that way.

Oh my god, the blood witch I guessed as soon as they were introduced. But the witch Hunter, OMG I did not see that coming. That plot twist had hands! But oh I loved this book, no one is who you think that are.
