I loved this book. It was so cute! I really enjoyed the writing style and the setting was perfect. The romance was so cute and the banter was top tier.

“De-Witched” is a fun and adorable romance featuring Leah (not a witch) and Gabe (a witch). I thought the storyline was clever. It was great to see the character growth and deeper themes play a part in the plot. I don’t always enjoy Grumpy/Sunshine characters but I really liked these two. Their personalities added to the angst of waiting for the moment when they finally get together!

For those who love:
🐾 Witchy Romances
🐾 High Society
🐾 Grumpy/Sunshine
🐾 Cinderella
🐾 Working at an Animal Shelter
🐾 the angst!!
🐾 Found-family friendships

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Super cute and hilarious witchy read! I loved Leah’s fierceness and how Gabriel allows her to be who she is!

These two had the odds stacked against them and even through Gabriel made a HUGE mistake, he rectifies it but the final say can only come from one family and forever might not be in the cards!

There was so much angst and the line between love and hate was a tight rope they both walked many times!

The whole group was very present and very hilarious. This little group always has me laughing and makes my heart full!

Mmm Gabriel. Gabe is the ultimate grumpy to Leah's Sunshine. This witchy RomCom is divine, it's funny and swoony. Gabriel is a Warlock pretending to be a human and Leah is a human pretend she doesn't know he is a Warlock what could go wrong.
Giddy happy dance!! Loved this book.

Known as the Warlock of Contempt, Gabriel believes in maintaining strict boundaries between witch and human societies. When a clause in his father's will requires him to live among humans for 3 months with no magic in order to lead the family founded company, he relocates to Chicago and encounters Leah. Gabriel and Leah are a grumpy / sunshine case of opposites attract. Even though they come from different worlds, they begin to see how they complement each other as they get to know and support each other. As they encounter people who are opposed to any friendship or romance, Gabriel and Leah are also forced to confront each believes is most important.

This is the second in a series by Sophie Morgan. While this works as a standalone, reading The Witch is Back first will provide helpful context by introducing the supporting cast of characters and background about Witch society.

Special thanks to the author and publisher for an advance copy. This is an honest review.

Another enjoyable witchy rom-com read from Sophie! I enjoyed getting to see Leah's story because I love a good interconnected standalone. Great banter!

I will post on release day on my instagram @thatbookishteach

Grumpy/sunshine alert!

This is the second book in the Toil and Trouble series. Leah is human but knows the huge secret about magic. She knows she can’t tell anyone, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to be a part of this world that includes her two best friends.

Gabriel does not like humans because they were responsible for his parent’s deaths. But he must live in the human world for three months to get the CEO position in his parent’s company.

Commence… grumpy/sunshine.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Watch for De-Witched to come out August 20, 2024.
