This was a cute book. Was it perfect? No. Was it enjoyable? Yes. The pacing was a little off and some of the scenes felt disjointed and I had a hard time following along. Overall a cute book though

This book was so interesting! The magic system was entirely unique and I thoroughly enjoyed the romp through time to defeat the witches wielding chaos magic! I almost read the entire book with a Scottish accent, a la Outlander, in my head. With a little bit of everything thrown in for good measure, the story was enthralling and I was enchanted from the first pages.

Although this was a little hard to get into I really enjoyed it once I was hooked. Finola and Ophelia were fun characters that often made me laugh. I wanted more out of this story. I really did love the idea of it though! The pacing was just a bit too slow for me.

This book had a really interesting premise and I was pulled in immediately. However when Brigid is transported to the present and meets Ophelia and Fin, I started losing interest quickly.

The entire first exchange between Brigid and her descendants seemed odd and from that point on I wasn’t buying the events taking place. It also became harder to pay attention and I found myself having to reread the same section multiple times.

I did unfortunately DNF this one about 30% in.

This book gave all the fall vibes you look for in a book with witch in title! Very fun read and will recommend.

An enjoyable witchy and romantic read. I enjoyed the witchy aspect of the story - and the fight against those who want power for their iwn ends. The romance between the witch and the demi-god surprised me - but in a good way. This story has made to curious to read other work by this author.

Really wanted to enjoy this one and overall it was very cute but felt that there was a lot left unexplained that made it difficult to really immerse myself in the story. I loved the idea of Bridgid going forward in time by 100 years and how that’s was all explained. I think have 1 or 2 more chapters of character building before the time jump could have really helped with immersion!

i love reading magical and mythical books. That being said this wasn't my favorite in the genre. I thought the story was fun and the imagery was pretty but the pacing took away from some of the enjoyment I would have had if it were better in that sense. LOVED the romance actually the most.

Paige Crutcher did a fantastic job with the Lost Witch.

To save her daughter's life, Brigid taps into dark magic. This causes her and the rest of the magic in town to disappear for 100 years. When she comes back the world is awoken and this time her village is in trouble. With the help of her future nieces and Luc Knightly, they must save the town.

Why this book is amazing:
~Multiple POV's
~Forbidden Love
~Save The World
~Magic
~Witchy Read
~Tension
~Redemption Arc
~Fated Love

I wanted to like this book I really did. But it felt very disjointed and it was hard to tell the switch between the characters sometimes. Also, the overall plot was kinda convoluted. I wish I could say I finished this book, but I really wasn't able to. I liked the prose and the concept was really interesting, but I think the execution could have taken some more time and been fleshed out a bit more.

I had such high hopes for this one but it unfortunately just fell flat. I got Intensely bored with the story and wound up not finishing it.

First, Thank you to the author and Netgalley for this ARC. I have to admit, as a huge fan of magical realism and all witch-genre type books, this was promising at first but ultimately not the kind of book I expected it would be. It reads more like a young teen novel. I think my 14 year old would definitely have enjoyed it more then I did. But assuming I missed something and the target audience was YA, then it definitely would be a great book for most of that reader base. Just wasn’t for me. It was kind of all over the place and the story seemed disjointed..it just didn’t flow for me.

This book started slow for me but once it picked up, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the lyrical flow of writing. The Lost Witch is a good witchy read to get you in the mood for fall/Halloween!

I have read some other witchy romance books and really enjoyed them, but I struggled with this book. I wasn't able to finish it. It just didn't keep my attention.

Great, fun witchy book!!! I absolutely loved the dual timelines in this story and the characters. I also really enjoyed the setting and how descriptive the author was.

This story is told in third person in dual timelines of 1922 and 2022 and follows witch Brigid Heron and her sister’s descendants Ophelia and Finola. Brigid wakes up in 2022, can’t remember what happened to her and finds the community in which she lived has changed drastically. She and the others spend most of the book trying to fill in the gaps of her memory. I found most of it to be rather repetitive and the jumps back in time to be confusing. I often couldn’t figure out where I was in the timeline.

The narrative is interspersed with excerpts from the Book of the Goddess as well as local newspaper articles and podcasts of local news from Ophelia and Finola. I found the news tidbits to be very entertaining and the best part of the book. The character of Finola was funny and engaging and her humor kept me from putting the book down at points. I found the plot to be rather disappointing, though the end made a pretty full circle. This is my second book by this author, and I think maybe they aren’t for me.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for a copy provided for an honest review.

I found the beginning of this book to be slow and confusing, which unfortunately set the tone for how the book was going to go for me.

This story has the love between a mother and child, romance, action, friendship and sacrifice, all wrapped up in a pretty bow. I enjoyed Brigid's journey from the past to the present as she searched for her missing child, Dove, and discovered friendship in the coven of her family as well as rediscovered her love of Luc. It was all sweet, even with the damned showing up all the time and having Evermore stuck in a curse that people couldn't leave. No, it is not a deep story, but I enjoyed it and thought the ending was perfect.

I wanted to love this book because it’s historical fantasy and witches which are totally my jam. Unfortunately, this book fell flat in many ways.

I didn’t really love any of the characters and that made connecting with the story and rooting for the heroes rather difficult. I also felt like the romance plot wasn’t really romance? It was definitely not my favorite.

Overall, I’d read more of Paige Crutcher’s books but this wasn’t my favorite.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book! I have been very into mystical characters lately, and this book and everything and more. It was so cute and I would definitely recommend to all who need a fun, light read.
