This audiobook was phenomenally well done! I enjoyed the narration and the story very much. A cute listen for your Fall TBR!!

After a terrible October filled with mishaps, Sirena wishes for a second chance. To her surprise, she wakes up to find that the month has started over. Will this be the opportunity she needs to regain her magical groove as a kitchen witch? Meanwhile, ex-reality star and magician, Gus, is struggling to allow himself to fully enjoy his new life as a historian as he renounces his showy past as a performer. When the two meet up at a harvest festival, sparks ignite and together, they might have what it takes to step back into their powers and purposes.

Overall, this was a cute and cozy fall read! There were some moments with humor, heart, and several spicy scenes. While I enjoyed the story itself, the narration in the audio format felt clunky. While the points of humor and banter felt genuine, listening to the narrators read spicy or emotional scenes was similar to listening to a high schooler read a written report aloud to their class. It also felt like the editing was awkward with some clipped sentence endings and awkward pauses.

Thank you to Net Galley, the publisher, and Celestine Martin for the advanced audio copy!

Stop what you are reading and throw in this read perfect for this holiday week! This is a lighthearted, fall time read! This book was so good!!! The characters were so fun and the community was strong. The author had such a good plot and storyline, it kept me hooked.
Our characters/community were magic and with that magic found love.
Sirena and Gus were both floundering in their professional lives. A random wish gave them the second chance they needed to try for happiness. With fun magical elements and mentions this story was perfect for this season! With the fun characters who seemed real and interesting this story is perfect for any time you need a cute love story!
The audio was perfect! The voice work fit well with the characters, and I was able to get into the story from the start!

This book was cozy, magical and had the perfect Fall vibes! I love Celestine’s writing and how descriptive she is. Whether it was food, the scenery, or the MC’s talking about each other, she really paints a picture and you’re able to perfectly visualize it.

I loved Serena and Gus and how they helped each other work toward their goals! The slow burn is real, but I’m here for it! Once it catches fire though, it hits hard! 🔥🔥🔥

Overall I thought this book was absolutely adorable and am looking forward to reading more books from this author!

A big thanks to Forever Books and NetGalley for the early release audiobook in exchange for my honest review

I was really bored for the first half of this book, but enjoyed the second half more. Overall, I would rate this 3 stars. I ended up listening to the second half on x2 speed, because I did not want to listen to another 5 hours of it, but wanted to finish it and not DNF. I am glad I ended up doing so since I did enjoy the second half more.

I’ve read a lot of cozy witch books this season, and Deja Brew ranks middle of the road. The characters are decently developed and I definitely appreciated a plus sized lead. A few scenes with well written spice that will appeal to romance readers. I just didn’t feel that I ever really connected to the characters or their struggle, unfortunately which might be a personal issue. The kitchen witch aspect was cool and I liked hearing about that quite a bit. Overall 3/5.

What a fun read for spooky season. The autumnal atmosphere was *chef's kiss*. This was the first book I've read in the series and I may work my way backwards...if nothing else, I'm adding them to my TBR. Since I essentially went in blind and jumped into Book 3 of a series, understandably it took me a bit to get into the world of Freya Grove, a magical Jersey Shore town...but once I was in, I wanted to go and hang with the gnomes. Gus was a wordsmith and I adored him... "I'm ready to spend a lifetime of October's with her". SWOON ! For fans of Hallmark movies set in Starrs Hollow...eat a snickers while reading. You'll thank me later!

I excitedly received this audiobook for free thanks to NetGalley. Review accurately reflects my own opinions regarding this title!

I received a copy of this audiobook from netGalley for a honest review.

I really enjoyed the 1st book in this series and was excited to receive a copy of this audiobook for the 3rd book, I loved being back in this magical small town full of mystical creatures. Gus and Sirena's story was great though I had some questions about how the magic worked but that was just my logical mind being stubborn. I will search out the 2nd book to catch up and can't wait for more by this author.

Sirena Caraway is one of 3 sisters who is a kitchen witch, but she is in a rut. One day, she finds a batch of her sister's "wish tea" and she wishes to do over the month of October as it's been a terrible one for her.

Gus Dearworth is a famous magician who was on a reality show with his family. He really lost himself during this reality tv series and took a step back. He was known as "Good Time Gus," but didn't feel like himself by the time he left the show. His marriage had ended and he couldn't recognize himself. He was doing the reality tv show for his family and not for himself.

Sirena needs to get her groove back, so she asks "Good Time Gus" for some help! Will Sirena find her way back to being an awesome kitchen witch? Will Gus feel like his normal self after some time?

I liked the premises of this story and it was definitely a cute Halloween romance read, but I did think it was a little too long and it could've been from all the sex scenes. I felt like some of the sex scenes took away from the book, so it just didn't work out too well for me. It was still an enjoyable book to listen to!

4⭐️
2.5🌶️

A great romcom if you are looking for a book to deliver on fall vibes.

Sirena is a kitchen witch and her magic has been messing up all October so at the end of the month she wishes for a second chance. Sirena wakes up the next day and it's October 1st all over again.

We follow Sirena try to have a better October this time around by asking Gus to help her out.

This book was supper cute. It has witches, a magician, fall vibes, and a good slow burn. It's definitely a book I would recommend if you are looking for a fun fall romcom.

This was an audio arc that was gifted to me by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Pretty solid witchy romance. I like the magical world set up and I think I would read more of these books. But, I don't think the time repetition was used very effectively for the story. We didn't get a lot of the little redo moments that make stories like this work, and having it extend so far past the end of the month just didn't make sense. We should have just ended on November 1st, not travelled into the New Year. It was sloppy storytelling for what was a very tight, cute, sexy little story otherwise

This book is such a vibe. It's perfect for fall and definitely perfect for Halloween. This is a friend's to lovers, slow burn with the spice to make you blush. And let me not forget the magic. Definitely pick this up!!!!!!

This was the perfect cozy fall romance I was looking for. If you’re looking for the romance book version of Halloweentown, look no further. The chemistry between Sirena and Gus is palpable, the cast of supporting characters are fantastic, and the fall vibes have been perfectly captured. Aside from the romance, Sirena and Gus had independent growth and character arcs that kept me rooting for them the whole time. I loved all the town lore that was included. This is the third book in a set of interconnected stand-alones, but I thoroughly enjoyed it despite not having read the first two (they are definitely going on my TBR though!)

This book was a slooowww burn. There were moments where I was in it and others where it dragged for me. It was a nice ending but could have gotten there sooner.

This is a perfect cozy fall rom-com with a touch of spice. We are following Sirena Caraway a kitchen, whose powers are on the fritz. She happens upon a batch of "wish tea" brewed by her sister and attempts to re-do the month of October. While on this self-imposed quest, she finds love and herself.

This book was too cute and the narrators, Marissa Hampton; and Christopher Hampton were top-tier in bringing this story to life.

Thank you Netgalley, Hachette Audio | Forever, and Celestine Martin for the ALC of this book.
I am voluntarily leaving my honest review, get this audiobook, you will not regret it.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced listening copy of "Deja Brew".

Narrators: I liked the narrator for Sirena as she evoked her personality and did a great job in acting out her part as well as the male characters. I did not, however, like the narrator for Gus because he sounded monotoned and his voice for the other characters did not work well at all.

Thoughts on the overall audiobook: A cute cozy second chance romance between a kitchen witch who lost her spark and a magician who is on a journey of self discovery. It did get a bit repetitive towards the end, but delivered on the feels.

I enjoyed this story. The dual narration was very well done and the narrators were excellent. The story itself was interesting and I really loved the whole premise of the plot. Gus was such a kind, sweet man and I adored the fact that he was reinventing and rediscovering who he was. Sirena being a kitchen witch was so fascinating and I really enjoyed learning about her magic. The first half of the story was a bit stronger than the second half and I will say that I thought everything after the time lapse was a little long, but overall I did enjoy the story and would definitely pick up more books by this author.

3.5 stars. This was a cute fall romance. Sirena, a kitchen witch wishes that she could do the month of October over again, and with the help of wish tea, that comes true. This time around she thinks she needs a little more fun in her life, and approaches a local magician, Gus about it. Little does she know they are actually kindreds, meant to be together. Honestly very cute and cozy, but I felt like it should have been wrapped up by the time Sirena and Gus made it to November 1st.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I can see why this story will appeal to some readers in my library system. It is a cozy story, but with spice. It may be because I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, but the storyline did get a little convoluted for me. Overall, it was enjoyable, and the narrators were Great! I did listen on 1.5 speed though because it was a tad slow for me

Such a great enchanting story in an enchanted town. A cozy witchy read. perfect for the fall and Halloween. The MFC left her fancy celebrity chef job to take care of her family, only to find love back in her hometown. Such a great book. The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. Listening to this book really puts you in a cozy comfy mood.

Thank you to Forever and Netgalley for my gifted copy.
