"Today," Winnie told the mirror calmly,"I will be wicked and manipulative. And I will not feel guilty for it-not even for a moment."

Reasons to Read The Witchwood Knot:
- It has a MC who has no time for bratty children and entitled men
- She also has an undead cat familiar and no-nonsense attitude
- Her adventure involves a cursed manor, a monster, and wicked faeries

I found The Witchwood Knot to be a captivating and fast paced, I devoured in a single sitting. Atwater ties in references to the previous books in the Regency Faerie Tales series to ground the setting of this one without bogging it down with repetitive information. The plot was amazing and the romance was endearingly natural. The undead cat familiar added the perfect touch to this gothic faerie tale balancing dark and comfort perfectly. The Witchwood Knot is by far my favourite of this authors and a perfect autumnal read.

One of my favorite MFCs of 2023, governess Winnie is knowledgeable, no nonsense, and prepared for (just about) any eventuality. She has come ready to tackle the issues at Witchwood Manor along with her magic perfume and undead cat. Mr Quincy, the butler (maybe) is far more intrigued than the cook, and Winnie won't be dissuaded by a bratty boy or, you know, whinging walls.

Everyone has secrets, and discovering them was so much fun, so I will not spoil too much. This was my first book by @oliviaatwaterauthor and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thank you @netgalley and Ms Atwater for allowing me to review this book!

First off, a witch with an undead cat?! I immediately fell in love with that bit alone. Add some fairies, and a spooky tale and it's off to the races.

I loved Mr. Quincy from the beginning and he is as sly as they come but not sly enough for Winnie.

This is the perfect book to get you in the mood for spooky season and the ending will leave you smiling.

I have read all of the author's novels and since they were all very good, I had high expectations for this book. I was not disappointed, indeed, with Winifred Hall as the main character being so well portrayed, I think this is the best novel I have read from this author. The novel gets straight into the story and it is a real page turner. Highly recommended.

I think this is my favourite from Olivia Atwater yet! I absolutely loved her Regency Faerie Tales trilogy, and this was, in my opinion, even better. It had the same cozy fairytale vibe, and the story was very fast-paced and unputdownable. I read it in pretty well a day!

I adored Winnie. She was such a great main character, and she has an undead cat, which is pretty great too. There were also a ton of references to characters in previous novels in the universe, and I loved seeing the familiar names! I wholeheartedly recommend this book, whether you've read Atwater's other books, or if you're new to her work!

The vibes are immaculate 🤌🏻

The writing was extremely well done, I was captivated from the beginning all the way through the end.

The FMC is such a bad a**, she’ takes no crap and is so unbelievably brave. I wish I could be more like Winnie 🫣

If you love Victorian era with a bit of magic this is for you! There’s also faeries and a cat ANDDDD romance if you need more convincing ;)

I’m now an Atwater fan!!
