The book’s title got my attention!
This is a sweet and entertaining read, really liked Margot, Elena and Stanley.
Looking forward to the next book.

This was cute little witchy rom-com type graphic. The story was ok - I'm on the fence about the ending. I'd check out the next one to see if there's some development.

Magic. Rockstar. Wlw. Do I need to say more?

Doughnuts and doom are about Margot, a witch, and Elena, a rockstar. They meet, and it seems to be a total disaster, but what happens when the two have to make it work to save the other?

I truly enjoyed reading this, and I really like magical stories, so this was an amazing read for me. The artwork fit the story so good, and the story made me want to read more. I believe teens and up will really enjoy this book, and/or if you like magic, witches, rockstars, wlw, this is the book for you! I recommend it!

This book’s title immediately snagged my attention! Combining something as sweet as doughnuts with the impactful “doom” was a great idea. I also thought that the cover was really cute.

This book follows Margot, an anxious witch, and Elena, a passionate musician, as they navigate the consequences of their explosive first meeting. I liked seeing Margot’s character open up a bit throughout the book but also loved how the author showed her confidence in making potions. Margot was immediately shown to be a caring person with the way she treated her familiar and spoke with the secondary characters in the book. I felt less of an immediate connection with Elena but it felt like she got a little less attention than Margot, so that makes sense. These characters had a cute rapport with one another and I liked the direction their relationship traveled in.

I loved the witchy aspects in this book, from the potions to the spell casting and the familiars. I’m always a sucker for a good witch story! It was a cool mix to have traditional witchy aspects like the hat and the broom set in a modern setting.

I do wish this book could have been a little longer. Things between Elena and Margot felt a little rushed and I wanted to know more about why the head of the Witch Hub disliked Margot so much. The ending technically concluded the events of the story but I wish there would have been a little more in the middle and after those last few panels to make the story feel more complete.

I would recommend this book to readers looking for a cute lgbtq+ witch story about confidence and friendship. Although I would have liked more from the story it’s cute for what it is.

This was a cute book. The characters are all very expressive and there's a sense of humor running through the whole thing. Not a lot of time is spent on a magic system or how witches work, outside of a licensing exam, but it's really more of a romantic comedy than a fantasy anyway.
