The Vine Witch by Luanne G. Smith
4.0
3.5 stars (rounded up)
I listened to the audiobook of this on KU and have to say the narrator really helped bring this story to life. I have to say that in terms of plot, not a *whole* lot happens that I can remember having finished it over a day ago, apart from the fact I would describe this book as a combination of a romance book and a revenge storyline. Witchcraft is brought into it and I would definitely say the strength of this book is more the absolute *aesthetic* of wine, potions and various witchy things along the way.
I think the plot twists were, in my opinion, fairly predictable (one of them wasn't but I wasn't completely taken aback by it either), but I do think it was well done as a piece of writing which really made you feel and see your surroundings clear as day. So from a 'vibes' perspective I have to say I really enjoyed it. The characters were honestly less memorable, and I don't think the love story was that strong, but I am happy to move into the next instalment (listening to the audiobook again) and think it will hopefully be a good time.
