ARC review, it comes out 7th of August.
We are back in the Hidden Species world, baby!
The species leader of the Elves, Raðulfr can use some love. He is lonely. Just him, an emotional support lemon tree, boring financial meetings, curious dragons and thousands of Elves.
Jared is a Wiccan and lives with his cat, Marge. Or Marge lives with her human, more accurately said. Jared joins a community program to deepen the connection with his magic. One evening the substitute teacher takes over the class. And uuhh, Raðulfr is kinda hot.

(Jared)
Seeing Raðulfr and Marge instantly take to each other makes my inner self do a little happy dance. I'm not much of a dancer so it's more like an arms flailing-wriggle-and-hip-bump than anything else, but it counts.
÷÷÷
Listen, when you are older, you know what is truly important with dating. These are green flag men.
Raðulfr trying to figure out-as centuries old Elf- what an 'x' means at the end of a message, is adorable. As well as trying to plan a perfect date.

"Hockey it is. That's the one where they're on skates, right?" His comment about ice jogged my sports memory, such as it is.
"Yes. And they play with a puck, not a ball. That's important."
"Puck, not ball," I repeat. "Got it. Dáithí?"
"Hmm?" He's still tapping at his phone. "What's a puck?" "It's a... thing. That they hit. To score. I never really paid that much attention to that part.
÷÷÷
But Raðulfr can't share with Jared who he truly is, because Jared is a human and he doesn’t know other species exist. The law doesn't allow to tell him yet. Can Jared handle the truth that will shatter the core of his beliefs?
Wooing the Wiccan have me warm, fuzzy feelings. It makes me smile. What I love is that the characters are so realistic... and fantastical. That goes together, I swear! They were relatable to me.
There were many cameos with the characters from the other books, which makes me incredibly happy.
The Wiccan representation in this book is beautifully, accurately and respectfully done, in my opinion. A nice peek for people who aren't familiar!
