It's spooky season and I'm all about the cozy magical realism stories and I really liked Kiss and Spell. Xavier is a fae prince who has to break an enchantment (curse) by getting his perfect kiss. Ursula is a witch who is struggling with her magic and recently got ghosted at the alter. Both of them are very against finding love, for very different reasons. But Ursula is determined to help Xavier get his kiss & back to his fae realm.

I really enjoyed the whole fairy tale idea of the story. I loved the characters and the side characters, but the only downside is that I would have loved to know more about Freya Grove (LOVE a small town setting) and the rules with the paranormal creatures and the rules of magic.

I have not read Witchful Thinking (the first in the series) and while this may be intended to be a standalone, I think I would have understood a little more of the backstory if I had read that first.

3.5 rounded up to 4.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
