📖 Book Review 📖 They say when one door closes, another one opens. Well, break out the sage because the energy is shifting in Hallowcross and a lot of doors have opened up in this adorable spooky little town. Right after Victoria’s boyfriend breaks it off and her parents disown her, the boy next door comes waltzing back into town after a failed career as a screenwriter. Life has a funny way of giving you one wild ride. Even in a world with magic, debts must be collected, grief is still crippling, and emotions and anxiety run high and there’s something oddly comforting that even witches need some help from Zoloft.

Let’s be honest, life the past few years since the pandemic has been really tough. But with a little added touch of magic and some cameos from the devil, Audrey Goldberg Ruoff makes these difficult topics just a little easier to handle in her debut novel. Add a second chance to get it right with all the slow burn romance readers could want (with a side of sultry Sundays) and the perfect little fall read has arrived! Go ahead and pick your poison (by that I mean cup of tea or a PSL, obviously) and a cozy blanket and curl up for witching season with Hopelessly Teavoted!

A charming debut with a Wednesday-meets-lighthearted-magic vibe. Full of yearning and well-crafted angst, it builds strong romantic tension between the main characters. A great pick for fans who enjoy a paranormal twist on classic rom-com tropes.
