"Clementine (Clem) and cousin Danica are Witches that own a fix- it shop in the town of st. Clare. Danica is dating Titus a mundane (non witch)a baker. Clem falls for Gavin a witch hunter from Britain who's also a history teacher on a sabbatical visiting in St. Clare. Gavin is tracking down the st. Clare coven (aka. Clems entire witch family) and the directive is to kill them all. <br/>Throw in a picnic and farm date, goats and a white mouse. Cuteness overload!! (think Sabrina teenage witch cuteness) quirky, humor and que in the indepth foreplay.<br/>This is 8 chapters in..30%. I struggled. <br/><br/>1. CLEM as the pov is quirky, bossy, funny, and so darn cute. But her constant demeanor towards her cousin Danica (as we are reminded constantly) for dating a mundane all the while she is dating a man looking to kill her and her family. <br/>So irritating. <br/><br/>2.The detailed foreplay just didn't work for me. It felt like taking a fun art class while having me watch some errotica story or ****. (Like flicking a switch from fun and cute to seductive and sexy) <br/>Wasn't feeling it.<br/><br/>3. The timeline here was really off.<br/>When Clem mentions/refrences current day things eg. Netflix, you understand the present timeline and Witches in 1500s were burned in the past but here the storyline is Gavin on the hunt to kill Clems coven on directive from a witch hunters clan out in Britain. Throws off the tone.<br/><br/>4. Gavin came across a Lil boring in comparison to Clem. We know he's from Britain but 3 pages of describing his American air Bnb place because it's very different from a British home?! I dunno.<br/><br/>I couldn't focus long enough to really connect with this book. <br/>Love the cover, love the plot concept and I really love a witchy story. Wanted to love this but ...DNF. <br/><br/><br/>Thank you to Netgally for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review."
"To the reader who wants something drama free and sweet, it's good. A decent read.
To me, personally, it was lackluster. There were no stakes in the book. Not being a big fan of the first in the series I only continued because I wanted to know how the drama of a witch hunter x witch book would end up. And it was disappointing. They would lament on issues and just as quick would correct their own thought process, or someone would come and fix it for them. Idk, in real life it's refreshing the relationship wasn't that complicated, but to someone reading a romance for the emotion - it didn't bring it."
