Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland
5.0
I was deeply and quickly engrossed in this story of Sage, one of three sisters who has been blessed with the gift of communicating with plants.
Sage has returned to her childhood home after losing her job and must deal with her sister, Teal, who continues to blame adage for their sister, Sky’s, death; their aunt Nadia who raised them; and Sage’s high school crush, Tennessee, who has also returned to their hometown.
Sage uses her gifts with plants to find heritage and native species for the garden nursery she works for to grow and sell. Working alongside Tenn, they grow closer and closer, but they have a history that needs to be addressed.
Sage is also trying to mend the relationship with Teal, while trying to avoid falling into the same habits and expectations of her younger years of being the surrogate mother and responsible for her younger siblings.
This is a beautiful story of love and loss, of being forced to grow up too soon, if forgiveness, friendship, family, and a reminder to us all how connected and reliant we are on our beautiful Earth.
There is also a twist that I really didn’t see happening but really impressed with how it was explained, leveraging details planted throughout the book.
I hope this will be the first in a series as there is definitely set ups for other characters in the book.
Thanks to @berkleyromance @berkleypub for the eARC of this wonderful book!
