The luscious setting and beautiful historical backstories were excellent. It is expertly crafted and rendered with interesting and unusuual characters. The build up is great, but the plot becomes stagnant. Once the main character, Dr. Aubrey Waycross, travels to a new town, there's great excitement but then all the character's relationships feel forced. Hardly any of the relationships feel genuine. The main love story has no chemistry and I didn't like how Aubrey showed interest in all three sisters. Too quickly did he hate them then feel attracted to them, it was just all too strange. I get that the witches are supposed to be charming and easy to love but even this interaction felt forced.



While I fell in love with this story's setting, the plot didn't capture my attention. None of the characters had a clear motive or focus. Aubrey did want to get the witch sisters to leave town but it clearly wouldn't happen when he fell for them. I struggled to care for any of the characters, even though I expected the female characters to be badass kick butt witches. Overall this book's plot disappointed me and the characters needed more development.
