Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young

4.0

Since this book’s release, I’ve been excited to read this one! I’ve not read a book by this author before, but I was hooked from the magical realism that this book promised and the romance mixed with murder mystery in the description.

Liked:
• Subtle magical realism
• Small town setting
• Second chance romance
• Murder mystery + twisted secrets

Disliked:
• A side character’s weird decisions (no spoilers, but I need someone to discuss a certain character with lol)

I really didn’t have a lot of dislikes with this book, just one of the characters really irks me (but it also may be the point of that character, lol). This was extremely atmospheric, and I loved the author’s writing and descriptions of the little island this story takes place on. I definitely enjoyed this one and it’s magical elements!
