My heart was racing for most of this book! Really well done in my opinion! Had a lot of intense chapters. Some slight paranormal aspects and twists I didn’t see coming until it was too late.

Practical Magic is one of my all time favorite movies! I’ve never read the book so here I am starting from the beginning. What a wonderfully detailed book of magic! I loved that she set the book at the time of when the curse began! It really gives you insight to the why! I think the author did a great job of blending the fantasy and magic with the reality!

Loved this book! I need the second one ASAP! What a unique concept and sort of twist on red riding hood, IMO that’s the vibe I got but twisted! Perfect book for like that spooky season fall vibes and romance. Really loved the FMC I thought she was very well written!

TREES! I have nothing remotely bad to say. What a wonderful book and end to the series. I loved the characters, their growth, and their stories. The magic was so unique and tied together so nicely. Had a twist or two in there I did not see coming! I love Elm and the Nightmare! The author was able to humanize him so well! I just wish there was more for me to read!

Mulan vibes for sure! Cliffhanger at the end and not sure when the next book comes out yet. The FMC was hard to like for the most part but I did enjoy her honesty with herself. I thought it did feel a little rushed.

The first half was hard for me to get into. Felt like a lot of back story. I enjoyed the twisty parts. I really have been quite annoyed that most of these thrillers I’m reading the FMC has some type of dependency. I don’t know why it’s been in the last three or four books I’ve read. Anyways, overall it was a good read.

Have really been enjoying this series! I’m so glad that her mother did have a heart there! Seems like the next books focuses on different characters which will be interesting to see! I need to know what happens!

I liked that this was focused more on a different character but I felt like it also left a lot up in the air. I don’t know if she is planning to do more books but I feel like there are other characters that did not get a real ending. Also wasn’t quite sure what the chapter was at the end with Hera. Overall though was a solid series.

Another super cute book from Linsey Hall! The Charming Cove series has been so cute so far! Very cozy and easy to read! Lovable FMC!

This was a page turner. I was audibly gasping. It had a lot of flying technical stuff I didn’t really understand but it did add to the realness of the story. Was very suspenseful and starts right off the gate!
