I really wanted to love this but it just didn’t hit. I couldn’t connect with Theo for the entirety of their pov section and couldn’t get past the fact it’s two privileged rich kids having rich kid problems.

There were moments of greatness of course, fab banter, moments of real chemistry and some great spicy scenes. I loved the food aspect and concept, but the wines went over my head. 

This was one of my last reads of the year and it was a fab one to wrap-up with! This witchy romance is the perfect cozy vibes that would be perfect year round.

Even though this is very firmly a romantasy, and quite a funny one at that, the romance didn’t feel forced or too in your face. Finally reunited after 10 years about, it felt absolutely perfect.

Rather than some cheesy, the answer is love solution or the type of love that becomes all-consuming. Nate genuinely just believes in Scarlett and this unwavering support drives her. To see the two of them complimenting each other perfectly rather than ‘completing’ each other was really refreshing.

And whilst this does have some pretty cozy, small town witch vibes it also manages to deal with some of the bigger stuff too. It explores grief, guilt and the weight of expectation.

The town is under threat, magic is going terribly wrong - as are all of Scarlett’s attempts to fix it. And the sleuthing to solve what’s going on will grab your attention even if the romance doesn’t. I loved exploring the magic system and the world it’s in. I’d love to return to it with some of the other characters.

In short, this is a lovely rom-com that perfectly balances tension with humour. It’s got a brilliant romance at the heart of it and characters that could step off the page they’re so lifelike. I really loved reading this one!

I was really enjoying this one! Such a fun concept with funny characters and the most believable siblings I’ve ever seen. But, I felt that the ‘climax’ felt rushed and fizzled. I wanted more and I found the ending left us with far too many questions. 

A 3 star for me means it’s a solid read.

I enjoyed this one, but it didn’t blow me away. It was very similar to Amari and the Night Brothers, but I felt it moved a little too quickly to really get me invested from the start. 

Still, this was great fun and a fab audiobook. 

I enjoyed this, but it felt very surface level. I wanted it to delve deeper than similar case studies. 

It’s beautiful. Why is Pulley’s writing so perfect? I mean, if I had a fraction of her writing ability I’d be flying. 

Another banger. I cannot yet form words about this.

I laughed, I cried, I shipped too hard. Pulley always created these weird little characters that are so lovable, you want to reach in and hug them. Then writes romances that are just too good.

This is kind of forced marriage, with kind of enemies-to-lovers on Mars and there’s Mammoths. Add weird and wonderful animal sidekicks to the list of Things Pulley excels at™️.

Pulley never, ever misses. 

loooved this! Definitely going to try to pick up more in this series!
