Synopsis
As a skilled kitchen witch, Dina Whitlock knows her way around a pastry recipe. In fact, she runs her very own London café serving magic-infused pastries. But only a select few friends know about her magical abilities or the hex that has plagued her love life. It is hard to fall in love when your partner is guaranteed to have a string of bad luck.
Scott Mason is back from traveling the world and is excited to begin his new job as a curator at the British Museum. After leaving London to heal from a breakup two years ago, Scott only now realizes how much he missed out on. Now that his best friend’s wedding is around the corner, Scott is determined to be the most amazing best man ever. But he doesn’t expect to be bewitched by the maid of honor, who also happens to be the owner of his new favorite café and, more surprisingly, a witch.
After a weekend in the countryside full of peculiar hedge mazes, palm readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there is no denying the chemistry between them. Will Dina be able to break her love hex in time?
Thoughts
I loved the premise of this story, but it fell flat for me. I could not connect with the main characters. So, despite its fun, witchy vibes, I could not get into it. You might enjoy this book if you like cozy fantasy with witchy vibes, queer rep, and spice.
★★★☆☆
☊ Listening to this via audiobook was lovely. Narrators Ferne Marks and Owen Hall did a wonderful job.
