I'm not a super fan of romcom but this story was well written, had great pacing and fun characters. It was just not for me but I did recommend it to several friends who do read romcom.

fun and cutesey, a really easy read, loved it. I have recommended this to friends already as a really great pallet cleanser between bigger books.

I had high hopes for this (love me a witchy romance) and unfortunately this just fell a bit flat. I did love the cover though and the premise but think that maybe some more editing could have helped.

Although I loved this book, I still don't know how I feel about Nelson. Can't decide if he is a red flag or a green flag. Maybe yellow? Seriously, I don't know. He supports her career and treats her as equal, but his entire inner thought process is how much he wants to take care of her. Not that there is really anything necessarily bad about that; maybe it's just all the incels online that talk about man superiority that makes it seem iffy to me. Definitely not what the author was going for, though.

Beyond my thoughts on Nelson, I loved the book. They could have asked their coven for help, which is always a common trope. Trying to do something yourself that you obviously need help for. Tons of authors don't give any good explanations for this other than the person just wants to be independent. There is so much backstory here that you understand why the two would not ask for help and could see yourself probably making the same choice in that situation.

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the free Kindle book. My review is voluntarily given and my opinions are my own.

This was such a fun and quick read. I would definitely recommend for the fall/halloween season to read. A solid 3/5 read for me. Please be aware of the trigger warnings for Chapter 10, but the author does have warnings in the beginning of the book. There is spice but it turns into fade to black. Cute, funny and lighthearted read.

This was cute and reminded me of that old show “Bewitched” and the love curse series but with a modern city twist!

This was a cute and cozy read, full of magic and chaos. I loved Miriam’s character arc, from the chaotic to the passion she brought to her work and wanting to do the right thing. Nelson’s do-gooder personality was very natural and hopeful. Their past rivalry and compromise to need to work together to find their missing items was entertaining.

Thank you to MJ Etkind for an advance copy of this book!

What a read. Thank you to indie authors who IMO take chances and give us unique stories. Overall this was a cute read, I loved the magic system, story and the dynamic characters.

I’m guilty of wanting a character that can do no wrong but Nelson and Miriam (esp) are down to earth characters. I’ll admit at first I found it hard to get close to Miriam and Nelson made my eyes roll 😒 but as we moved through the story I found myself rooting for them. My pieces of CC would be a closer look at editing, certain events seemed rushed and looking too closely there were parts that the explanations were a reach.

Thank you so much for this story M.J. Etkind and NetGalley

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

"Who needs elegance when you have the right kind of magic to get the job done?"

What a fun, cozy, and cute read! The Witch of Wall Street has a nice flair of unique magic. Witches live among humans with their own cults to support each other. There's magic among the streets of New York City. This is a fun adventure with broom rides, romance, dumplings, and snuggles by the TV with ice cream! 🥰

Nelson and Miriam are high school classmates and bump into each other at a benefit. Getting caught up in a night of reconnection, they end up in a tangle of messy magic. In search of important magical items they lost, they go on a quest all over New York.

Miriam has worked extra hard to have a successful job. Her unique messy magic has been an obstacle her whole life. Nelson, in Miriam's eyes, has always been the golden boy from her class. The more time she spends with him, she begins to realize the true Nelson she never knew. I really love their relationship. It's cute and romantic in a cozy and comforting way. Who doesn't want to be taken care of and spoiled with cuddles and a warm cooked meal? Their intimate moments are steamy and genuine. Nelson is the perfect example of a genuine gentleman. I love him! These two characters are real treat to read, and I can't forget about Larry! Who doesn't love an overweight cuddly pet character?

Everything about this book definitely felt cozy, fun, and whimsical. I love the cute magic system in this story. It felt modern and almost normal, but with a flair of fantasy. It is such a cute story and so easy to follow and get lost in Miriam and Nelson's quirky adventure

I’m not going to lie, I wouldn’t usually pick up a business romance book BUT this is a witchy/magical book too and it WAS amazing! Such a sweet and short book to read. It is a well thought out book, has a great plot and everything was resolved by the end of the story with no loose ends. The characters were easily likeable and it flowed well. Easily a 4 star read for the Witch of Wall Street! Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

3 stars for spice

This was such a fun, cute read and I loved the magic elements in it. I also loved that one of the characters was a cat. I absolutely love books with cats in them. The beginning took off to a slower start, but it quickly picked up and I found myself unable to put it down. The storyline flowed nicely and this was very well written. I am interest to read more by this author.

A fun fantastical read! The writing flows whilst creating an elaborate magical world which you can feel completely at home in because of the details and atmosphere created. A rom-com that also perfectly balances real world issues!

Cute magical realism romance set in NYC. Loved the FMC’s chaos magic. That was so fun! Rivals to lovers and one night stand plus a magical quest. Would definitely recommend. 3.5 stars.

Would give this book a 3.5 stars. Definitely a cozy read that I didn’t expect but it was a nice magical experience. I loved Tao Ti a very interesting store with Boa and if you know you know

The Witch of Wall Street by M.J. Etkind
HAPPY PUB DAY!

Thank you to the author for a gifted copy of this book!

Miriam is a chaos witch, Nelson is a wizard of small miracles. The magical abilities are opposite but complement each other?

After a night together, Miriam's broom and Nelson's magical medallion run away together, causing them to have to go on a quest together to find their magical items.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a cute, cozy fantasy with a great romantic plot. Miriam's and Nelson come across obstacles in their quests and are fun to read and really help move the plot along, as well as their relationship.

This book had a really unique spin on your typical witchy romance. In this world, magic is real but hidden, and Miriam and Nelson both have their own magical baggage to address before we get to a happy-ish ending.

Miriam is a workaholic with chaos magic. She has worked her whole life to contain this side of her, only letting it out during her nightly broomstick rides or when it bubbles up uncontrollably. Her childhood was spent embarrassed of her obviously chaotic magic, even overshadowing the childhood friendship (or attempted friendship) of Nelson. Nelson inherited a bit of a more beneficial magic that can give him or those around him a dose of lucky benefits. This drove Miriam to be jealous and that particular resentment colored her memory of the past until they re-meet as adults.

Nelson, still a very positive person, is now leading a charity that finds homes and jobs for those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to find them. Miriam’s firm, on the other hand, is secretly trying to steal the deal for new housing out from under said charity. It’s all hush hush so this puts Miriam in a bit of an awkward position when she find herself attracted to and then spending the night with her ex-arch nemesis.

This is a fade to black type romance, which didn’t bother me so much because there is A LOT they end up needing to address on their magical adventure. Oh, and they are on a magical adventure because Nelson’s magic teleporty thing and Miriam’s broomstick run away. It’s a magic thing, apparently, but ends up forcing a lot of overdue conversations, reconnections, and the Nelson/Miriam one night stand grows to multiple nights/days/weekends. Miriam also is forced to re-asses her career and what she wants to do with her life. It was definitely a journey, but ends up mostly wrapped up in a neat bow by the finish.

The Witch of Wall Street is a magical, light spice, romcom. M.J. Etkind did a fabulous job representing a woman in a male dominant world without making her a full-on bi***. I really enjoyed the romance and liked the fact that it didn't overshadow the plot of the story. And then throw in just the right amount of spice for me in romcom make a good light read.
Thank you M.J. Etkind, lzzi House Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC.

I really wanted to like this book. A chaos witch trying to control her powers and a romance!? Unfortunately this book did not live up to my imagination. I didn't really connect with the characters and the sense of urgency for their mission felt like it kept changing. One moment it was so important that they find their lost objects and the next they were just fine leaving it almost a week. One minute the FMC is having a moral dilemma and the next she's deciding it doesn't matter. I do think many others will like this book, but unfortunately it wasn't for me.

The book wasn't for me. It had a good premise but the writing style was a bit mixed for me. It's also closed door which nah
