“Never mix vodka and witchcraft”

I found this book in a local bookstore, and it seemed like something that I would like. I have seen it around on social media, and seem like a lighthearted romance involving witches. Do I like romance? Yes. Do I like witches? Absolutely!

Look, this isn't a bad book, in any way. But there is something about second-chances books that I can't seem to like. I think that the only book of this kind that I absolutely love is Persuasion, by Austen. The characters are interesting and funny at times, the book has a good structure, and the story is interesting enough, but, to me, it was just "meh". However, I think that this is more of me problem than a book problem. Therefore, I'm giving it a 3.5 stars rating (but I'm being a bit generous). I can also say that this has fall vibes all over, so if you like romances with fall vibes, maybe give this one a chance.

Now, the question is: will I read The Kiss Curse? Yes, probably. It seems like an enemies-to-lovers romance and that's my favorite kind of romance.

Although some plot points are rushed, this is a charming book with some good tension and spook factor.

This was really cute. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy a modern witchy love story, as I tend to go for more high fantasy type worlds, but this was really enjoyable. A quick read with a bit of spice. The plot did move really slow at some points and really fast at others, but overall - a good little comfort read. I kept thinking about how it would make a great movie.
