Book Synopsis:
It’s time to rediscover her magic . . .
With found family, a dash of romance and an uplifting message about self-love, Rewitched is a cosy autumnal fantasy that will leave readers spellbound.
Belladonna Blackthorn hasn’t lost her magical spark, but she hasn’t seen it in a while either. Balancing work at her beloved London bookshop, Lunar Books, with handling her toxic boss and concealing her witchcraft from those around her – Belle is burnt out. Perfecting the potential of her magic is the last thing on her mind.
But, when her thirtieth birthday brings a summons from her coven and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle risks losing her magic for ever. With the month of October to fix things and signs that dark forces may be working against her, Belle will need all the help she can get – from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor figure and even from an (infuriating) coven watchman who’s sworn to protect her . . .
My Review:
Rewitched is a wonderful, absorbing cosy fantasy that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Firstly the author has done such a great job in creating the setting in this book that I felt completely transported into Bella’s world. I loved all the wonderful descriptions of all the different places that were so vivid that I felt I could see them all clearly in my mind and found myself wishing they were real as I’d love to visit them myself. The magical headquarter that changed locations every time was a particular favourite of mine and I loved the descriptions of the different rooms inside particularly the entrance hall with its magical ceiling. Lunar books was another favourite location, though as a book seller myself the dialogue about the window displays did make me laugh.
I thought the plot was brilliant and I loved learning more about Bella’s coven as well as the different types of magical jobs that exist. It was great fun to follow Bella through her challenges as she discovers more about her magical capabilities. There are some lovely secondary characters that I quickly grew fond of and it was lovely to see the little group of friends grow closer together as they try to improve Bella’s magic.
Overall, as you can probably tell, I adored this book and have already been recommending it to other people. The book had a lovely pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to keep me interested. Even in the slightly slower moments I was still enjoying spending time with Bella and her fabulous friends. There were a few twists that kept me guessing and the ending was brilliant- highly unexpected which I always love.
If you are a fan of witchy books, Harry Potter or 90’s TV shows like Charmed then you’ll love this book.
Huge thanks to the lovely Chloe for sending me a copy of this book.
