Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher is the third book in the Supernatural Singles series. Where a witch takes a stroll on the wild-ish side, sparking an alert that saddles her with her very own Guardian Angel…who happens to be her secret crush―and new roommate.

Olive Maxwell is the youngest triplet and prefers to teach and research rather than actually using her supernatural powers. She never steps a toe out of line, while Bex Donovan, Guardian Angel, already has some black spots on his record. When she starts a quest to complete her Dare I Docket list, he gets assigned to water her over to save his career.

I read the first two books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them both, but this one is my favorite. Watching Olive leave her comfort zone, find herself, and stand up for herself was heartwarming. Meanwhile, Bex supported her and gave her the courage to achieve her goals. The relationship between Bex and Olive is so believable because when you find the person you love how, their support can make the hard things easier! This book is so fun and flirty, following Olive's work through her list with Bex, her sisters, and her demon best friends (which was a fantastic side character in this book, and I would love more of Harper)!

I'm sad to see this series end, but I loved being in this world and the heartwarming feelings that April Asher sparked with her books. I would highly recommend picking up these witchy romcoms!

Olive and Bax’s story is really cute, though this one didn’t quite hit the mark that books one and two set for me. I liked that Olive got to try new things and develop more of confidence by the end of this one. It is definitely slower in that sense, since it feels like the focus is on self-discovery. And Bax takes a while to finally accept that he can live life for himself and not care about what his dad would do or say, to live the life that will make himself happy. The Docket items that they tackle together are fun and cute, but the slower pace just meant I had more time to dread the eventual reveal (which, unsurprisingly, was revealed by a third party), but I also wasn’t as absorbed in this one. Vi and Linc’s story is still my favorite. I loved the appearances from all the triplets and Harper, and Edie and even Gage. I think I was waiting to get a little more about Olive and Bax’s pasts, which might’ve made their story seem stronger and give more context. Bax’s dad ends up being pretty one-dimensional, unfortunately. Kind of like how the Maxwell sisters’ mother was just irritating in Vi’s book lol.

If Harper does eventually get a book with Adrian, I hope we get a little more exploration of why she hates the word love so much because my interest is piqued.

I think the strongest elements of this one are still the friendships/family and the support network they provide for each other. And I did enjoy the way Bax and Olive fit together and balanced each other out, boosting each other’s confidence and supporting each other just by being there for each other.

Thank you to Netgalley/St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC!

3.75, rounded up! The third book in the Supernatural Singles series, and I just love it! It is no surprise, if you know me, how much I love witchy books, and April Asher never disappoints. However, I did prefer the previous two books to this one. Despite that, it was still very enjoyable! Bax and Olives relationship is very sweet, just in general I find Asher's romances to be fluffy/sweeter (which is a very good thing in my book!), and the magical elements not overbearing. It's all just wonderfully executed! Also tatted MC, hello! Thank you April Asher and publisher for the arc!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

I absolutely loved the other two books in this series! Unfortunately, this one fell a little flat for me. The pacing felt off, way too slow with no real stakes in the book. My favorite parts were when the sisters would be together, which didn’t really happen a lot until the end.

I still love this author and would LOVE to see a Harper book. But both Olive and Bax were flat characters to me, making this my least favorite of the series.

This is the third book in the Maxwell sisters series. This story follows Olive and Bax’s relationship. I loved seeing characters from previous books as we watch Olive and Bax’s relationship form and grow.

Overall, this was a cute story. I really liked how infatuated Bax was with Olive. However, it fell kinda short for me. I was hoping for a much bigger "climax" and nothing really happened. I did really love Harper and her sarcastic comments.

"Not Your Crush's Cauldron" is a magical mix of romance, adventure, and supernatural shenanigans. Perfect for fans of the series, this book will have you laughing, swooning, and cheering for Olive and Bax all the way!

This book follows Olive the final triplet in the maxwell family to find love. I really enjoyed that the focus was about her finding ways to get outside her comfort zone. However I did feel like it lacked some of the plot dynamics the first two books had. Olive is the most relatable of the three sisters and I was so excited for her to finally get a book. Her friendship with Bax , the long standing crush they have for each other, and their forced proximity made the tension in this book sky rocket. I feel like the chemistry of the two main characters in this book was superior.

This was a fun conclusion to this series. I enjoyed watching Olive and Bax find their HEA. this was a fast and easy read and I enjoyed it greatly.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved every book in this series! I’m a sucker for witchy romances!

A fun paranormal forced proximity romance. I liked that the hero was a guardian angel, and the heroine's bucket list of things she wanted to experience.

Thank you to netgalley and St Martin Press for a free copy of this book. It was my favourite in the series, while the other two weren’t for me, this one hit all the right spots. The chemistry between the two main characters was amazing. I loved the main character and the fact that she was trying to get out of her comfort zone. I also loved that Bax was there for all of it. Overall a really cute paranormal romance!

If April Asher writes it, I’m going to read it!

Although Olive was my least favorite of the Maxwell sisters, the trilogy of the Supernatural Sisters has been so much fun!

Book three follows Olive who is a witch, and her new roommate Bax who is a guardian angel. The story unfolds as they navigate her Dare I Dockit list, an assignment she made for her students but decided to try for herself in order to get out of her comfort zone.

As the youngest of the witch triplets, I loved seeing Olive’s growth and her learning to be more daring and outspoken. I resonated the most with Olive so I loved this for her!

I am truly hoping there will be a book #4 about the honorary Maxwell sister, Harper. Here’s to hoping 🤞🏻

Thank you to NetGalley, April Asher, St. Martin’s Press, and St. Martin’s Griffin for the digital arc of this book.

While the characters were my favorite in this series this book fell a little flat for me. I am usually a huge fan of paranormal romance but this one seemed to have a hard time keeping my attention. This story follows Olive a teacher to the paranormal in her class she challenges her students to step outside their comfort zone. When Olive was challenged as to why she doesn’t do the challenge as well she decides this is the year to try. Bax a guardian angel comes into Olives life he ends up getting assigned to be her guardian angel. Being a Guardian Angel comes with a lot of secrecy and Bax is unable to tell her. While it starts out as a job it quickly turns into more.

I really liked Olive and Bax in this book but felt like the plot was kind of barely there instead focusing more on the romance. personally I need a good plot in a romance book or I start to lose interest and this book had me losing interest. This book felt a little low stakes for me but could see this being enjoyed but a lot of people but just wasn’t for me. There are a ton of spicy scenes that are really well written but were a bit excessive and kind of pulled me out of the story but again I think it’s more a personal thing. I would recommend this book for sure. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

Olive prefers teaching her students about all things supernatural and leave the magic to her sisters but when she assigns her students to think and do outside of their comfort zones, she's left with the truth that she never has done that herself. She creates the Dare I Docket list and jumping right into things she wouldn't do is moving in with her (hot and tattooed) friend, Bax. Bax is a guardian angel and finding himself close to losing his wings, his last chance at keeping his job is to watch over none other than Olive. Protecting her while helping her through her list proves tough especially when he cannot tell her she is his assignment. This proves even more difficult as he starts to fall in love with Olive.

This book was so much fun but I did feel a little out of the loop with all the characters because I've never read any of the other books in this series. I was a little confused in that way but also a little intrigued to go read them. I think Olive and Bax were such fun characters to follow and the supernatural aspect of it all really did make this plot so much more fun.

A solid 4 stars.

This book was just okay. Not great, but not terrible. I like contemporary romance, but this just didn't stand out as something wonderful for me.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

Very cute novel about love in the supernatural world. Friends to roommates to lovers but all do this took time and some secrecy and patience and going through a list to expand ones personal growth.

I enjoyed this book. It's just fun, nothing too deep or intense. It's hilarious and brimming with character, like your great Aunt Marge telling you the wild adventures of her youth, if Great Aunt Marge was a witch, magic was real, and the world of Charmed became an absolute reality.

The ending is a cheese fest. But it's pretty cute, so I'll allow it.

Tropes:
Friends to Roommates to Lovers
Banter!
Witchy triplet x guardian angel (yes, they went there a la Charmed and it works)
Nickname: angel
Tattooed Biker x Highly Organized Professor
Gives her his room
Soul Mates
Taylor Swift is their jam
Thirty-something MCs
Alanis Morissette heartbreak music
Sisterly banter (perfect depiction of sisters)

Content: lots of innuendos and more explicit talk and daydreams, pierced n*pples and Jacob's ladder, explicit s*x

• i love this world that @novelsbyapril has built. My favorite thing (besides Edie and the triplets) about this series is the integration of the magical world into the real world. And I love how it’s not limited to just witches- there are shifters, guardian angels, demons…you name it.
• the humor in this book is just fantastic. I loved seeing Ollie have her own story, and how it’s so different from her sisters. I also loved seeing her sisters and their growth through her eyes
• we got more of a glimpse of the “bromance” that has formed between Bax, Linc, Damian and Adrian and I kinda need more of that 🤗
• honestly? Gave me a new appreciation for piercings, if you catch my drift lolol

𝕎ℍ𝔸𝕋 𝕎𝔸𝕊ℕ’𝕋 𝕄𝕐 ℂ𝕌ℙ 𝕆𝔽 𝕋𝔼𝔸:
• there wasn’t a lot of magic, which is very in line with Ollie in the other books. But I just wish there was a bit more.

𝕆𝕍𝔼ℝ𝔸𝕃𝕃 𝕋ℍ𝕆𝕌𝔾ℍ𝕋𝕊:
This series is my guilty pleasure in the best way. I fell in love with Vi and Linc two years ago (and they are still my ride or die- billionaire alpha wolf shifter? Sign me up always) and every time I read one of these books it just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy (not that these books are warm and fuzzy, mind you- they have some k*nk to them). I was unsure about Bax and Ollie from the previous books, but their chemistry spilled off the pages and brought them to life. I also loved seeing the bromance forming between the men- all I need now is a Harper book and an angel/shifter/demon bromance novella and I’m set 🤣
