A magical second chance romcom! This was a new author for me, and I really enjoyed her style. Will definitely look for more books by her. The supporting (and supportive) characters really helped tie everything together and added even more humor to the story. Hoping for Tia and Leah’s stories down the road, perhaps?

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Watch for The Witch is Back to come out August 15, 2023!

This brilliant author is new to me and I am so happy I discovered her! The cover drew me in, synopsis captured me but Emma and Bastian now hold my heart! I am a sucker for an angsty second chance romance and this story was packed with everything I love!!

Emma oh sweet Emma! There were so many times I wanted to jump into the pages and hold her right especially when it came to her mother! Ugh the woman was vile as heck, but in-spite of her Emma was a strong, independent woman with a kind heart and loving soul! Bastian was truly her other half in every way! As we get to know them both and get glimpses of their memories yiu can see why they are destined! The only issue is trusting the other with more than just friendship but with their hearts!

I loved seeing Emma grow and become even stronger than before, and how she shined with Bastian, gah words can’t explain! I loved the magic and mystery of their world! A 2023 must read!!

this was a wonderfully written witchy romcom, and I enjoyed every part of the story. I was hooked from the first page and getting to read this book. Sophie H. Morgan has a great writing style and created interesting characters that I wanted to know. I enjoyed this overall and getting to read this with the characters. It left me wanting to read more.

"She wiped that from her mind before he could catch any hint. She might not have mastered mind magic, but Goddess knew Bastian had always had the knack. Most witches learned to block from the cradle, but if you were comfortable with someone, you could let your guard down. And she knew Bastian had often picked up impressions from her in the past."

A witchy modern day second chance-ish tale. Bastian left Emma and thier arranged marriage long ago and with no explanation. She’s oh- de-oh-de-oh-ing her life along when Bastian returns. Again, with no explanation but he does say they must get married now. As they both, reluctantly, get reacquainted and ready for the marriage sparks begin to fly. Filled with quirky secondary witchy characters, this is a fun rom-com. I loved it!
