The Year of the Witching

9D69D52E-0C4B-44D4-AE31-DA8C5F45DD18

A solid YA with lots of witchy vibes and a touch of dark fantasy. If you don't mind YA then check it out.

Borrow

The Keeper of Hidden Books

06586ABA-8AD4-48C4-8A82-C790EE588128

A unique story that's been told before, but still quite enjoyable.

Borrow

The Witching Tide

239CF705-6ECE-4E50-A661-53233989258C

This felt torturous. It convinced me that I do not enjoy witch trial fiction.

Pass

A Beautiful Rival

ECF731A0-9DD2-4153-8007-95F61B65112B

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but I like things with strong female characters. Slow and very character-driven.

Borrow

The September House

9C459E8C-C613-4419-B9DF-3C9C641C2D6C

YAS!!! This book is so much more than horror. I loved it, especially the older female MC.

Buy

Witch of Wild Things

932DBA86-1D8F-4EDA-8846-E015715786BB

I wanted to love this more than I did. It's full of charm but ended a bit on the unrealistic side for my taste. Feels a little YA.

Borrow

The Unmaking of June Farrow

The Unmaking of June Farrow

The. Best. Book. Of. The. Year.

Buy

A December to Remember

B0676CF6-068C-41A4-B7CD-AFE69AB1D967

OMG, my whole heart. I will read anything she writes. Perfect for anyone looking for a holiday book that isn't a romcom.

Buy

A lady's Guide to Scandal

A Lady's Guide to Scandal

Even better than her first! Don't sleep on these books.

Buy

The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic

D46DBBE8-2AFE-4360-9FF9-CC8839D59775

If only it would have had fewer similes. Super charming and lots to love, but highly overwritten.
