Thank you to Paige Crutcher, St. Martin's Griffin, SMP Early Readers, and NetGalley for the free book!

This book was an absolute delight! The generational curse and family histories felt intricate and clever, creating a rich backdrop for the story. Although it’s set in modern times, the focus wasn’t on technology, which gave it a timeless, magical vibe that I adored.

The twists and revelations were perfectly paced, and the motherworld—a dark and chilling realm—added an eerie layer to the story. The vibes were impeccable: atmospheric, magical, and just the right amount of creepy.

Doreen and Margot’s friendship was a standout element for me. It was beautifully written and showcased the power of strong, supportive relationships. And let’s talk about Doreen and Ambrose—their dynamic was everything! The bickering, the reluctant partnership, and their eventual romantic connection were done so well. The tension between them kept me hooked, and their growth as characters felt organic and satisfying.

Overall, A Circle of Uncommon Witches is a captivating blend of adventure, romance, and destiny. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to read more from Paige Crutcher. Highly recommend it to fans of magical tales with heart!
