As a single mother and a formidable witch, Olivia has found solace and strength in her serene life, despite the challenges of raising a son with cerebral palsy. Yet, beneath her outward contentment, a hint of loneliness persists.

Enter Draven James, a charming and enigmatic newcomer with an uncanny ability to uncover hidden places. His arrival in Addersfield sparks a newfound excitement in Olivia's heart, awakening a desire she never knew she had. Draven's charisma and mysterious aura draw Olivia into a whirlwind of emotions, tempting her with the promise of a love as magical and unpredictable as the spells they cast.

Here’s what I absolutely loved about it:

* Captivating Protagonist: Olivia Ayala is a fiercely independent single mom and a powerful witch who runs a magical bakery. Her strength and grace, especially in navigating the challenges of her son’s cerebral palsy, make her a truly inspiring character.

* Charming Love Interest: Draven James, the annoyingly handsome and mysterious newcomer, brings a whirlwind of charm and secrets, sparking a romance that’s as wild and unpredictable as magic itself.

* Heartwarming Themes: The story beautifully explores themes of love, community, and resilience. Olivia’s journey from loneliness to finding love is both touching and empowering.

* Magical Setting: Addersfield, with its quaint streets and enchanting atmosphere, serves as the perfect backdrop for this spellbinding tale. The town’s magical history adds a unique and captivating layer to the story.

* Strong Community: The supportive and tight-knit community of witches in Addersfield is heartwarming, showcasing the power of friendship and solidarity.

Unfortunately, I can't rate this book higher because the story felt dragged out to me, and I struggled to fully connect with the characters.

But overall a cute, delightful read!

Release Date: 17 September 2024

In the cozy town of Addersfield, Rhode Island, Olivia Ayala reigns supreme as the maestro of delectable delights in her charming bakery. Since 1697, it's been a cherished haven for witches, and Olivia, a fiercely independent single mother and a formidable witch herself, has curated a life of tranquility amidst the sweetness. Her journey, accompanied by her son and her graceful navigation of cerebral palsy's challenges, is a testament to her resilience. Yet, a subtle ache of solitude persists beneath her composed exterior.

Enter Draven James: magnetic, frustratingly handsome, and possessed of an uncanny knack for uncovering hidden realms. His arrival not only disrupts the tranquil air of Addersfield but also sets Olivia's heart alight, awakening a dormant spark within her. Draven's winsome grin and enigmatic past cast a bewitching spell over Olivia, tempting her with the promise of a love as unpredictable and enchanting as magic itself.

"MAGIC IN THE AIR" beckons you to lose yourself amidst Addersfield's picturesque streets, where enchantment intertwines seamlessly with the mundane, and love blossoms in the unlikeliest corners. Featuring a delightful ensemble of characters as captivating as the spells they cast, this spicy romantic comedy celebrates the transformative power of love, the solidarity of community, and the unwavering strength of a woman who embraces her own magic.

While I found this novel to be a pleasant read, there were moments when the pace felt sluggish and the characters somewhat unrelatable, which left the overall experience feeling a bit lacklustre. At times, I found myself merely pushing through to reach the end rather than fully immersing myself and relishing the story.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Rising Action Publishing, and the author, Adrianna Schuc, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Olivia trabaja en la panaderia, es huérfana, tiene un hijo, tiene parálisis cerebral y a causa de esto cojea, no tiene relaciones porque todas sus citas son un desastre y ellos se desaniman en cuanto se dan cuenta de su parálisis.
Graven esta de luto por la muerte de su mamá, leyó su diario y descubrió que ella era una bruja, entonces decidió conocer el pueblo natal en donde viven muchas brujas.
Es un periodista y quiere escribir sobre la magia por lo que ir a Addersfield para obtener pruebas de la existencia de las brujas. Esta enojado por lo de su mamá por eso quería atacar a quien sea y cuando leyó en el diario que le quitaron su magia decidió escribir su verdad porque según él le dieron la espalda.

No cualquiera puede entrar en Addersfield porque tiene un hechizo en el que sólo puede entrar perdonas que conocen sobre la magia, se lo contrario jamás encontrarán el pueblo.

No me gustó como se manejo cuando Liv se entero de la verdadera razón por la cual él fue al pueblo.
