I was utterly bewitched by this book! So many things about it stand out to me. There’s a strong sense of place. It feels very “October.” I like that it has a more natural or innate-ability witch aspect than a one that is more focused on spells. I LOVE the chemistry between Kate and Matthew. There’s a lot of mention of recipes, food, and cooking which is right up my alley. We learn about a few different kinds of witches in this world and I would love to read more about them in future books. (I hope there are more books).

One thing I found unbelievable is that Kate, a hedge witch,  got to the age of 30 without somehow finding out that there’s more to being a hedge witch than she was led to believe. I would think that she would have done her own research (and have been encouraged to do to) rather than rely on just what her coven teaches her. But this didn’t stop me from loving the book and reading it any chance I could. 

I was given a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
