Rezension von KristinThe whole having certain witchy powers background could’ve been developed / thought out a bit better (world building) but I genuinely enjoyed the cozy/dark queer witch romance aspect of it :)
Rezension von Julia SophieDas perfekte queere Hexen Buch für den Herbst. Eine große Prise Magie und Liebe. Thistle Grove ist eine wundervolle magische Kleinstadt. Ich habe mich sofort wohl gefühlt in der Geschichte. Die Rivalitäten unter den verschiedenen Gründerfamilien war gut umgesetzt und sehr authentisch. Emmy Harlow als Protagonistin konnte mich überzeugen. Sie muss sich mit ihrer Vergangenheit auseinandersetzen und herausfinden, was sie von ihrem Leben möchte. Und um manche Textpassagen in ihren Worten zu beschreiben: they hit home a little too close. Talia Avramov hingegen war die perfekte Love Interest. Selbstbewusst, flirty und tiefgründig (hoffnungslos romantisch) hat sie auch mich verzaubern können. Die Spannung und Leidenschaft zwischen den beiden war durchgehend spürbar und sehr herzerwärmend. Für alle queeren Menschen, die nach einer süßen und magischen RomCom suchen, ist dieses Buch bestens geeignet. Ich kann es euch sehr ans Herz legen!

Rezension von KatisaurusUnfortunately, this book was a disappointment. The idea for the story is great, with really awesome elements - witchcraft, setting a halloweenish, witchy town, a magical tournament and a queer lovestory with two bi women - however, it is told in the most boring way possible :( At the beginning, I really liked the writing style, you get that perfect halloween/fall vibe and the protagonist tells the story in fun, witty way, with lots of puns that made me smile. Unfortunately, it runs very flat the longer the story proceeds. At 200 pages I was so bored that I pretty much had to force myself to continue reading. The more I got to know the protagonist, the less I liked her or rooted for her - honestly, it was plain dislike by two thirds of the book and disdain for supposedly "big bagagge" which was nothing more that a pathetic teenage heartbreak from nearly 10 years ago and letting the opinion of man define her selfworth - uuugh! Moreover I just didn't feel the lovestory. The two ladies were hot for each other, but to me there was no chemistry or deep connection beyond that.
