"Sera Swan used to be one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps her great-aunt run an enchanted inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep said talking fox in check, and longs for the future that seems lost to her. But then she finds out about an old spell that could hold the key to restoring her power.... Enter Luke Larsen, a handsome and icy magical historian, who arrives on a dark winter evening and might just know how to unlock the spell's secrets. Luke has absolutely no interest in getting involved in the madcap goings-on of the inn and is definitely not about to let a certain bewitching innkeeper past his walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he agrees to help Sera with her spell. Worse, he might actually be thawing. Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera Swan is about to discover that she doesn't have to do it alone...and that the weird, wonderful family she's made might be the best magic of all" --

Reviewed by HeavenI loved the beginning and the middle until Sera accomplished her goal. The ending? Not so much. I felt somehow let down when throughout the story, Sera was working to get her magic back. That was the main goal. So it felt frustrating that it had to be taken away in that manner and that abrupt too. But I also understand that it had to happen in order to stop the bad and she is the only one who has the power to do that, to stop it all. My favorite character would probably be Matilda (and Roo-Roo is also a contender, he's a natural comedian). Every time Matilda and Roo-Roo were in the scene, I would automatically grin. That's how positive they seemed to me. Oh, and Nicholas is cute too! And Theo and Posy! And at this point, everyone in the inn. I love me some good found family tropes. Overall, the story was good. It was cozy and fun and I laughed at a lot of scenes. Sangu Mandanna really caught my ticklish and giddy sides. Her writing is simply beautiful. I loved the prose in this book. And just like in TVSSOIW, the romance is exactly my type. Exactly what I need to cozy up and slow down.
