In the Shadow Garden by Liz Parker
5.0
This book is magical.
I love books about witches and magic, especially when they do it this well. This book is atmospheric, while still holding a strong story and characters. Between Lavender & Lemon Balm, the Shadow Garden, the auras, the tea leaf readings, and even the Bonner bourbon and the gloom, I felt like I was in this world of magic every time I opened the book. I wasn't shocked by any of the mystery, but I didn't feel the need to be. It was revealed in a way that kept me turning the pages, needing to know more.
I was surprised to be invested in so many different characters and to not dislike any of their POV sections. There's a family tree that was helpful at the beginning of the book to remember the characters.
This is a new favorite of mine. It got me out of a reading slump and I loved it so much.
I'm sad Liz Parker doesn't have any other books out yet for me to read!! I need more of this magic.
