For the start of a series, this book definitely reads like a story set in a fully established world. I was surprised to find that we are only at the beginning and excited to watch the books further evolve all these interesting characters!

Tilda is the “dud” of the family. Her family also happens to be the tippy top of the witch hierarchy, so it’s especially embarrassing. The add to her already heaping plate, she somehow keeps getting matched with Gil, an infuriating witchy sort with his own hidden baggage. These two dance around the issue until an absolutely shocking turn of events - Tilda unknowingly triggers something that only witches and one particularly rare book can undo. Enter Gil, to save the day (sort of)!

Tilda is definitely not the damsel in distress type, and has surrounded herself with the folks in town that also don’t fit their expectations. It’s this crew that rallies around her to really save the day. This story ends up resolving itself in a HEA, but I have so many questions about the other characters! I guess that ended up getting me hooked and I’m eager to learn more about this universe!

Really enjoyed this laugh out loud, action packed and highly entertaining magical adventure filled with witty and engaging charters, family drama, dangerous mystery and heart racing twists and turns. This magical journey was both emotionally thrilling and so much fun to read from beginning to end.

First off can we say how cute this cover is!! Whoever designed this it's adorable!

This was my first book by Avery Flynn and it was a delight! If you're someone who likes magic, fourth walls being broken, and enemies to lovers, this is definitely the book for you! The banter between Gil and Tilda was so fun to read about! I'm not sure that writing style was my absolute favorite, sometimes I found myself getting a little annoyed, but hey, I still had fun throughout.

The book is full of wit and I do like how we will be getting more books in this series! I think as the world develops and builds more, it'll draw people in, but I don't think this was a terrible start. The plot was fun, kept you on your toes, and it was definitely a fast read.

Like I said, maybe the writing style wasn't my absolute favorite, but I also haven't read that many fourth wall books. (The first line starts with "Hi. *Waves.* That's me.") So, if that's not your style, maybe check out some other witchy books? But also don't let that deter you from entering this world and the adventure that is Gil and Tilda's relationship and quests!

Definitely add this book to your TBR and give it a shot! Can't wait to see what Avery Flynn does next!

Thank you to Valentine PR, Avery Flynn, and Berkley for an ARC copy for an honest review!

Tilda Sherwood belongs to a powerful family of witches, but she was born without magical abilities. When she asks her godmother to set her up on dates, Tilda keeps being paired with Gil, an attractive yet smug man that she’d rather avoid. But when she accidentally curses her family, Tilda needs to overlook her desire for Gil in order to save them.

Witcha Gonna Do was an enjoyable, fast-paced read. Being able to experience the story through both Tilda and Gil’s POVs made it a more engaging read. I loved seeing romance bloom between the two. There’s also a found family element with Eli and Birdie, two other witches whose powers didn’t manifest. My absolute favorite character was Vance, a grumpy unicorn shifter who speaks his mind and has a penchant for Lucky Charms.

With small town romance, found family, protector vibes, witchy politics, and some steam, Witcha Gonna Do proves a cute start to the Witchington series.

Special thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts in this review are honest and my own.

What's more humiliating than asking - okay, fine, begging, demanding, going all hey-big-wizard-that's-a-big-wand-you've-got sex kitten - my absolute most hated archenemy to kiss me?
The fact that he doesn't.

Tilda's life has taken, yet another, disastrous turn. She keeps getting set up with THE worst person. Is she attracted to him? Yes. Does she hate him? Also yes! Why does this keep happening. She's about to find out.

Gil has a job to do. Get his parents out of exile. That is his number one priority. Things become much more complicated. His assignment is to spy on Tilda. But all of these things keep happening - and he is struggling to fight the feelings he's having for Tilda. She's definitely not what he expected. And he's not sure what is going to happen if he fails his mission.

This is a fun book with magic, steamy times and fun characters!

Witch reads are read year round over here. Along with the smut and romance which this one also includes.

Tilda is a null (with no magic) from a family of witches. Gil is covertly investigating her to discover what magic she has since he thinks she's hiding something. Their enemies to lovers situation is super spicy.

This is told in dual POV which I love. It definitely helps in a romance.

The world was fun with WitchyGram and curses and the sense of humor.

Thank you berkleyromance and netgalley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

Y’all this book was so cute. I laughed from the first chapter on and i was immersed into this Witchingdom that was just so fun and magical.

Tilda is the only non magical person in her very magical family. Her life isn’t the greatest, but then it goes straight to hell when she accidentally makes her sister’s spell glitch and curses her whole family. And the only person who can help her non-magical self break the spell? You guessed it. Gil the super hot jerk. She has inexplicable feelings for.

Love that journey for her.

I have been loving cute spicy romances that just make me smile lately and this one really just made me happy.

It's a DNF and I'm so sorry. But the voice of the character is just impossible to get passed. I'm not going to post my review on GoodReads or Instagram and am only doing it here.

I was immediately attracted to the cover, title, and the whimsical premise. While I think it had great potential, it unfortunately did not meet the mark in my opinion.

The writing style felt very stream-of-conscious which is a hit or miss with me, and in this case it was a miss. It felt like it was trying very hard to be witty and relatable.

Additionally, I did not like the main characters. Tilda was portrayed incredibly immature for being a 28 year old. The connection between Tilda and Gil didn't feel that strong and there was apparently a history between them but that was never really explained? It felt more like insta-attraction but trying to ignore it rather than a true enemies-to-lovers.

Finally, the plot was all over the place. I couldn't keep track of what was going on and the characters that were being introduced.

Thank you Berkley Publishing Group, Valentine PR, and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was cute but the writing style was different than anything I’m used to reading. It was a little difficult to get into to be honest but it was still a cute concept and story. This story felt as if it was jumping from first person to third person a lot.

3.5 stars

Witcha Gonna Do is a very cute rom-com with a niche sense of humour. I'll admit the first couple of pages didn't really hit with me (the reader is treated as an audience, in a sense); however, as the book progressed, I could see how the humour and general craziness related to the story and characters being portrayed.

The storyline itself was fairly easygoing, and I think anyone who enjoys light-hearted, cozy witch-vibes will like this book. The characters were fun with very loud personalities which suited the relationships they had with each other (and other side characters).

The general consensus from other reviewers seems very hit-or-miss, but I'm keen to see how the series progresses and whether the world-building develops further. Overall, I think this was an interesting story and a cute read that could easily be finished over a weekend!

As a side note, I just want to point out how absolutely gorgeous I think the cover is. I want to frame it and hang it on my wall.

God bless Avery Flynn because she can always be counted on for laughs and high jinx!

Tilda’s an outré, a witch without any powers so she settles into her role as the social media/PR person for her family, the Sherwoods, the most powerful family in witchingdom. Gil’s a double-agent trying to get close to Tilda because there’s no way she doesn’t have any magical abilities, and the Sherwoods have to be hiding something. Gil’s motive for his spying is to save his family from being stuck in witchingdom limbo. To get close to Tilda, he arranges for them to be set up repeatedly on multiple blind dates when the last one gets a bit too harried. Later, when a spell goes terribly awry at the Sherwood household, Gil is one of the only people she can turn to for help. To reverse the spell they have to steal a very important book from another powerful family. It’s risky and in the process Tilda learns more about herself than she was led to believe.

I enjoyed this. Like I said, Flynn has a way with humor, especially with slightly awkward FMCs who have plenty of grit despite the occasional mishap. There’s so much sexual tension between Gil and Tilda - it’s fun as well as spicy! I enjoyed that they had to pull off a major heist together which could go sideways at any time. It was surprisingly action-adventure,too.

Only thing missing for me: it felt like there were details about withcingdom that were mentioned that weren’t delved into further. I’m hoping we get more insight in the next book. If you’re a fan of Avery Flynn’s or are into witchy rom-coms, you’ll enjoy this!

Thank you to @berkleyromance @valentine_pr & @netgalley for my review copy. This is my honest review.

Everything about the description of this books sounded great. It was a surprise that half way through I was struggling to fully understand what was happening in the story. I liked both Tilda and Gil and enjoyed their chemistry. The story was told a dual POV which was amazing. I think what threw me was the world building is confusing. There was a Council, and a rebellion, and the Sherwood’s are the most powerful family, and Gil has duil Magic which is illegal(?) and Tilda is a outre with no magic (but she is actually really powerful). I very much liked the romance, and Tilda’s friends. I think if the story had been streamlined without Gil’s parents being held as collateral, a strange rebellion going on, and talk of double agents, I would have loved the book. The authors writing style is funny and light completely entertaining.

Thank you, NetGalley and Berkley romance for the arc. This is my honest review.

Do you like paranormal rom-coms? Especially ones with extra spice, humor, and excellent world-building? Then this is your read.

You won’t be able to put down this spicy, matchmaking, dual-POV enemies-to-lovers story that’s as witchy as it is hilarious and heartfelt.

Tilda doesn’t have magical powers, but she comes from a really powerful family. She has the best attitude, but one thing that irritates her is that she keeps getting set up with Gil, her arch nemesis.

Gil has an agenda of his own, and as we learn a little about the politics of this world, we see that Gil is not exactly a golden retriever bf.

Still, Gil and Tilda end up working together to save both her family and his. They irritate each other, they have history, and one thing I love is how comfortable they are with each other.

Maybe there was something to this matchmaking after all…

Easy five star-worthy. Trust me- this is a book that belongs on your Christmas lists! It’s literally on mine. I love it so much that I need a physical copy!

HUGE thank you to Valentine PR and Berkley Romance for an arc of this book and for including me in their tour!

Such a cute, exciting, and oh my me, swoony new rom-com from Ms. Flynn.

This is the first story in what is gonna be a fun series!

Welcome to Witchingdom, where the shifters aren't what you expect, and the witches rule!

This is Tilda and Gil's story.

Tilda is the odd witch out...or so she thinks. She struggles with fitting in with her family, which happens to be the most powerful family in town. I love her quirks, and her inner dialogue is outstandingly funny!

Gil is stuck between a rock and a hard place; playing both sides and trying hard not to fall for Tilda is a battle he fights on the daily.

I loved all the secondary characters and can't wait to see and read the future books in this series to see what happens!

Smexy, swoons and laughs are the perfect spell in this new story!

Tilda is part of the great Sherwood clan, the most powerful magical family in Witchingdom. Follow along with her wacky (mis)adventures with her handsome nemesis witch, Gil, on her path to love and self-discovery. Does being an outré (someone born without any magic to a magical family) make her the least valuable or the most valuable member of her very large family? You’ll have to read to find out!

The humor, action-filled plot, and contemporary nature of this story (like references to WitchyGram (Instagram)) albeit the fact it is a fantasy/paranormal romance made the story very fun to read. Tilda is my sassy spirit animal and her and Gil’s angsty relationship and banter is everything! I just wish this title was released closer to the Halloween season since I’m itching to read christmas holiday books right now but I make room for good books all year long baby!!!

4/5 ⭐️

Thank you so much to Avery, Berkley, Valentine PR and NetGalley for the gifted advance reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review!

What a delightful, light witchy read! Spectacular world building done effortlessly.
This book uses the enemies to lovers trope meshed with then turn frenemy.

The characters were fun with Tilda thinking herself a null (of course we know as in all these stories that’s not going to remain the case) keeps getting “matched” with Gil. Course it’s not as random as we think. Then things get waaay more complicated when Tilda accidentally curses her family and needs Gil’s help to fix it.

There’s some great chemistry between the characters and fun secondary characters I’m sure will pop up in future reads. Thoroughly entertaining, easy read.

Complimentary copy provided through NetGalley.

This book was absolute magic! It’s hilarious and awkward and deliciously dirty and so much fun!

“I, however, am very imprudent, turned on, and suckered completely by the fact that he brought me an apology muffin. You gotta watch out for the ones who come bearing pastry.”

This was truly a delightful read. Avery Flynn has created such an incredible world and I can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

What do you get with an unlucky witch who thinks she was born without magic from the most powerful witch family and a con artist witch who plays both sides to get what he wants? A hot and spicy enemies to lovers romance with a lot of unexpected fun magic! This was such a fun witchy book with a lot of action as they also work together to against an evil counsel to save her family while at the same time fighting their magnetic and unexpected attraction. This is a great read if you love witches, romance and are not afraid of steamy witchy romance!

4 and 1/2 Stars
I loved reading Avery Flynn's Witcha Gonna Do? I thought it was a great romantic comedy with some supernatural witchy vibes. And Avery did what every good author does when writing in a new series, she made me want to read the books about the female lead, Tilda's sisters and now I can't wait to read the next books.
I found that as this was the first book in the series Avery had to do a lot of world building to explain how this magical version of the world works. Personally I thought there were times where there could have been a little bit more explanation, like have witches and magical creatures always been known about or did they once hide in the shadows. I also wanted more information about the Council and the Resistance, and maybe that will come with the future books. At the same time there were points in the world building that things were kinda beaten to death. Like we didn't have to hear that many times that the Sherwoods are one of the most powerful witch families.
My favorite part of the was the bickering between Tilda and Gil. I really enjoy reading enemies to lovers romances and I loved the dynamics of their romance. From the beginning you could tell that they liked each other but Tilda couldn't stand Gil because he always was acting strange and like he was so full of himself. And for Gil he couldn't start anything being a double agent and with his main goal in life to save his parents from witchy jail/purgatory. You could immediately tell they had such great chemistry, and I loved seeing how they ended up together despite everything going on in their lives.
