This was full of my favorite things: regency era, captivating characters, magical abilities, a cute cover and fantastic writing. I’ll be recommending this to all of my friends to read. Such a cozy vibe.

Fairytale vibes weave through this rather magical tale of toleration, repression, and liberation! Pirates, sea monsters, witches, and those intolerable aristocrats that just can't seem to get over themselves and are locked in the world of boring. Genuine fun with a satisfying HEA !

I was invited by the publisher to read this book. And I LOVED it. I mean just yes to it all - the play on the title, the Regency era setting, London, all of the magic elements with portals and creatures, all of it. The book is about Lady Tiffany who learns she is a witch who eventually learns that her magic is not a curse, but if she flips her perspective then she is able to see how her magic could be useful and helpful. All within the most amazing setting, and with some funny moments to boot.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollinsUK/One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book immensely. When a young woman meets her great aunt, her world opens up to magic and self acceptance. Growing up without parents, her sister in law begrudgingly tutored her into a life of strict rules within the regency era. Fortunately, her skill as a witch is nurtured by her new family and friends and she finds a new world of adventure and love. There's humor, love and acceptance. I read this book on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lady Tiffany Worthington knows she’s different from the other debutantes, she has a talent she is trying desperately to hide. Elinor, her sister in law, is insisting that she try harder to attract a husband during her season and it would seem that anyone would do. When great aunt Esme suddenly appears on the scene, Tiffany begins to realise that she can live her life her own way, and the arrival of Santiago adds extra tension to an already nerve wracking situation.

A really easy read, I love the idea of Tiffany’s abilities, which get stronger as she gives into Esmes teaching and encouragement. Along the way she meets several like minded women, who all live exactly as they want, not conforming to societies many rules, that treat women as a commodity to be offered to the highest bidder..

The tension between Tiffany and Santiago becomes more interesting as the book goes on, especially when he is forced to try to become a gentleman and almost blackmails Tiffany into helping him. There are some really interesting characters, like Esme, who could have a book to herself. Elinor comes across as very bland and not at all likeable, a woman on a mission, to get the best possible marriage for Tiffany, that will reflect well on the family. Loved the unexpected twist that explains a lot of the background to the story.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I loved this book. This was a great mixture of historical fiction, witches and pirates with a great romance thrown in for good measure. The unique magic suggestion were brilliant, I loved some of the new twists. You'll have to read it to find out!
