The Gifts That Bind Us by Caroline O'Donoghue

5.0

Why did I take so long to pick this one up?!! I finished the first book maybe two years ago???? Thankfully, this was a real easy one to jump back into! All the favs are back! I missed them so and they are bigger and better than ever! Such a great sequel, much stronger than the first!! Very Practical Magic vibes!!!

TOTALLY did not expect Aaron to become part of the witchy found family!! This is a pleasent surprise, I love it when an ally is indisposed and one of the antagonists ends up coming along right in time to take their place, whether they want to or not and becomes like the new weirdly adopted member of the team \o/ so sad we had to be without Roe for so long, he's my fav and I adore him and Maeve's love for him!

I am very excited to see what has been cooked up in the third book. It might be a bit before I can pick it up because I’m still on a small book buying ban...hopefully it won’t take like years to get back to this time around...no, I must move on and will keep Maeve, Fiona, Roe, and Lilly in my heart til then!
