4.5
Two fav quotes that sum up the tone of this book:
"π° πππππππ π°'π πππππ πππ πππ πππππ. π°ππππππ , π°'π ππππ πππππππππ πππ ππππ ππ ππππ."
"πΊππππ πππ πππ ππ ππππ ππππππ , π° πππππππ ππππ πππ πππππ πππ - πππ ππππππ π° π πππππππ , 'π°π'π πππ πππ.'
πΊππ ππππππ . 'π½πππ ππ-πππππ πππ πππ.'"
I unexpectedly LOVED this book!
I picked it up on Netgalley, thinking it would be something light, silly, and easy. And it *was*, but in a way that I somehow just adored so much more than I was expecting.
It's about a bit of a hot mess of a witch who has to fake date a vampire-duke in the cute little magical British village they live in. And it is just COSY as heck.
The MC is just enough of a hot mess to be relatable without falling into being irritating. There's adorable themes of found family, both with the dude's family and the witches' coven. The romance is super cute. Even the mean girl storyline took a turn I wasn't expecting, in a good way.
Oh and there's a skunk familiar π¦¨
It's fade to black which suits me perfectly and honestly any more would have felt out of place to the tone of the book.
Also, the fact the MC is a vampire is extremely incidental and kind of barely features in the story, so if you go in wanting gothic blood-sucking vibes, you're barking up the wrong tree. There's lots of cute and cosy witchiness though.
This is actually the second in the Charming Cove series but they are standalone.
I adored this, and if cute, cosy and feel-good with a dash of magic sounds good to you, you might love it too.
