I loved Jamie, and he was such a lovable grump who was clearly gone for his girl. I kept hearing great things about the soft, slow burn romance, and that part is a definite win (once it becomes more central to the story). I probably would’ve DNFed had I not been in just the right mood for this – but not because of the quality. But Mika has never stayed in one place for long, and there are still some secrets that need to be revealed.įor me, personally, this was difficult to rate. Sure, there is a grumpy librarian (Jamie) who doesn’t seem to like her, but he does seem to be hiding some softness underneath his bristly exterior. It doesn’t take long before Mika starts to feel at home among people who know her secret, and she soon finds herself fitting in. There’s a place that houses young witches, and they’re desperately in need of a magical tutor. That is, until Mika gets a mysterious invitation. The one witchy thing she does is “play” a witch on social media, but no one was ever supposed to realize how close to the truth those posts were. She moves from place to place in order to protect her secret, and that’s made her feel isolated and alone.
The story follows Mika, a witch who has always had to hide her identity.
But I can’t say that any of it was “bad ” there’s a whole lot of good going on here, and some readers are sure to love it. The cinnamon roll hero was adorable, and I probably would’ve enjoyed this a LOT more if we’d had more of that swoon and less overly descriptive passages and magic. I got bored by the extent of the witchy content (most of the book is focused on that), but kept getting drawn back in by the moments of romance.
The little nuggets of romance were SO good – swoony, sweet, tender. Yes, these are adult characters (31/36), and there is a tiny bit of steam, but it’s so soft, cozy, and found family-oriented that the vibe reads a lot younger. This is the first adult romance by the author, and that could explain why it had such YA vibes. I’ll be generous with my rating, because this wasn’t a good fit for me, but it’ll be just the kind of soft, magical romance that some readers are looking for.
