Book Review: Love's A Witch by Tricia O'Malley

Love's a Witch by Tricia O'Malley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book just became my favorite book I've read so far this fall.

Love's a Witch felt like I was watching an episode of Charmed, but somehow the special guest star was Richard Armitage playing Knox Douglas. I don't know why, but he popped into my head when I was reading this book, and somehow it worked SO MUCH.

So Sloane MacGregor and his sisters came to Briarhaven because their grandmother told them to come back. The moment they stepped foot into Briarhaven, Knox came in and...grabbed the suitcase and told them to leave. Like now. Not today, not tomorrow, not next week, now. Sloane got upset and said, 'hell to the nah, we're staying' and told the house to never let him in again.

Ooof.

But throughout the book, we see both Sloane and Knox going head to head on a lot of things, and how Knox is trying too hard to get rid of the MacGregors. But when Sloane's powers come in on her twenty-fifth birthday, things get chaotic and also very romantic when both Knox and Sloane get together and things happen-like Sloane morphing her car into a dragon, mushrooms popping up everywhere, and her nearly burning the curtain down when she kissed him.

The ending almost made me cry when Knox got all of the townspeople that were related to the founding families to help the sisters try and break the snowy curse, and when they do, they find out that it's not over. I'd never thought that I would like Groupy x Grumpy but I did, and I enjoyed myself reading this book so much that I wanted to stay in this world. Tricia O'Malley did a fantastic job with this book, and I cannot wait to read more.

Book Review: Silvercloak by L.K. Steven

Silvercloak by L.K. Steven
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This might be my favorite fantasy THIS YEAR. L.K. Steven, thank you for this book, and thank you SO MUCH for writing this book. A woman going undercover in a magical mafia to try and nab them? PERFECTION. I was rooting for Saffron to finally get her revenge on the Bloodmoons and to figure out what they're actually doing and stop them. I was hooked the moment I started reading this book, and I needed to know more about why Saffron wanted to bring the Bloodmoons down and to also expose them for what they were doing.

I did get worried that some of Saffron's contacts would get compromised, but the more I read and saw how she tried so hard to protect them, even when they couldn't even touch her because of the magic not working on her. I kept seeing her try and try over and over again to figure out what the Bloodmoons are hiding, while at the same time working with them to get what they want. When they face the Silvercloaks again, some of them are shocked that she's working for the enemy, while some of them knew that she was undercover, so they try not to hit her.

The ending of this book got me SO BAD. i wasn't even expecting it or that Levan, the son of the leader of the Bloodmoons, knew Saffron's secret. I thought she was keeping it on the down low, but that journal entry at the end told us, the readers, that we knew that she was a timeweaver, and that he was going to take her down.

Oh no.

Oh, Saff, girl, you are in BIG TROUBLE.

Especially when Levan and Lyrian are trying to bring back Lorissa.

Oh no, girlie.

Time to run.

I need book two right now to know what happens next, because that ending was BRUTAL. But I loved it nonetheless.
