A review by tneumann
Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland

emotional hopeful

4.5

This book had all the elements I want in a romance and more - people who have lived through some stuff, magic, complicated family relationships, deep respect for nature, grief…and consent (except for outing someone as a DV survivor, which is addressed). Loved the depiction of brujas, their gifts - like Sage’s is plants, and the cultural elements woven through.

Also, the AIM chat between Tenn and Sage did not make me cringe in its use, just in the way it reminded me of living through that phase. (Of course gurl would be spelled with a u)

This story was very sweet and satisfying in how it wrapped up - again the perfect amount of magical realism for what I’m looking for in a book.
