Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May

5.0

In a world where magic is real but illegal to use, Annie comes to the secluded Crow island to take care of her father's affairs and finds a world she never could have imagined. From first spotting her elusive but magnetic neighbor during a party, to finding her childhood friend married to a man who has no clue who she really is, the island draws her in with secrets and magic in equal measure.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved this book. Witches, blood magic, magical debts, found family, trauma, and a sapphic love story woven throughout? Sign me up. I never quite knew what was coming next and I absolutely loved the story for it every step of the way.

The Great Gatsby meets Practical Magic with morally grey lesbians, on a secluded island that is rife with magic, mystery, and madness. An instant classic for anyone who loves sapphic stories, retellings, or witches fighting for their own future.
