Not the Witch You Wed

Good. Not memorable.

Cutesy Halloween

The protagonists are flat and lackluster. The humor is mostly big boob jokes. The general premise is good. The execution was not.

This book was amazing! I wish it was longer and I can’t wait to read about everyone else! Linc and Violet were perfection. I spent so much time smiling and laughing. This book is magical and the mental movie it plays is amazing. The author writes in such a way that each character is jumping off the page without pages of boring descriptions. I loved every second of this read and could not recommend it more! Magic, supernaturals, fated mates, and romance…what more could someone ask for?!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the e-audiobook ARC of this book. All opinions on this are my own.

If you're looking for a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance, then Not the Witch You Wed by April Asher is the perfect book for you! Beautifully narrated by Zura Johnson who helpfully adds a gruffness to her voice when voicing the male love interest - Lincoln, and beautifully narrates the female main character - Violet, the book flows smoothly.

While I found some moments eyeroll worthy, something that is not necessarily uncommon for me in romance, overall the book seemed like a good fit for anyone who loves paranormal romance. There is magic at play, fake dating, and an endearing nature between the two characters that cannot be denied. If you like surprises though in romance stories, this book is not going to do it for you. While predictable, it's what you kind of wanted for the characters all along anyway. It was ultimately a very fun read.

Tense and POV: This book was in past tense, third person.
