Firstly, can Luna books be real because I would 1000% make that go to destination for all my book purchases going forward (obs when Belle is in charge not Christopher!)

I loved that this book at its core was about finding yourself and your inner strength. It’s not too late to go after what you want and discover your own worth not defined by others. Personally, I would have loved a little bit more development of the romance with Rune but at the same time it was refreshing to read a novel where romance wasn’t the central storyline.

Arty was a STANDOUT character and must be protected at all costs.

Overall this was a great debut novel. Lucy very much provided an enriching narrative with vivid imagery that felt incredible immersive. If you are looking for an easy, cosy, autumnal read then I recommend picking up a copy.

3.5 stars!! - This cozy fantasy gave me all the autumnal and witchy vibes!!

The funny and slightly chaotic Belle works at a bookstore and hasn’t used her magic for anything other than making tea while staying on the couch in a while. So when the witch is summoned by her coven on her thirtieth birthday to see if she is still worthy of her magic, things don’t go exactly as planned. But when given a second chance, she dives head first into exploring her magical abilities.
I loved the setting and just the overall descriptive writing style. From how the leaves fall and crunch under your shoes to the smell of warm pastries, Lucy described everything with a touch of magic.

The romance plot is more of an side plot and that the book itself is ultimately a story of self-love and trusting yourself that you’re capable, no matter what life throws at you. Maybe not the kind of witchy trials that Belle has to complete tho, but still. I loved the found family storyline with extremely lovable characters like Ariadne and Arty (I want him to be my friend and bake me goods). Towards the end the plotline really picks up and I was quite surprised with the whole reveal!

If I had any notes it would be that the middle became a little repetitive and ultimately I did not really feel the spark between the main character and the love interest. But then again that’s not the main plot of the book so therefore it didn’t bother me much.
I’m excited to see what Lucy writes next 😊

Get your hot chocolate and blanket ready as you curl up with this perfect Autumnal read.

This was one of those books that leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

The magic sucks you in and I really hope that this universe is expanded on and that this is just the first book and that more follow in the future.

This is a very cute & cosy fantasy, about a witch who is rediscovering her magic, and also herself 💫 It’s set throughout October so is the perfect read for this time of year!

Belle is extremely relatable (aside from the witch thing), a 30 year old who has got very comfortable in her somewhat small life, and lacks the confidence in herself to pursue what she really wants.

The found family is perfect - Belle’s eccentric mentor was one of my favourite characters! I would have loved more of Belle’s love interest Rune - he is more of a (dreamy) passing crush, as no real romance happens in this book. I thought this was a slow burn so my romance-loving self was a little disappointed!

I did think that the pacing was a little chaotic at times, but it definitely builds up to a dramatic finale 💥 Whilst this book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, I feel there is so much more that could be explored both with the coven and Belle’s romance with Rune, so I’m hoping for a second book! 🤞🏼

Oh wow what a cozy autumnal book! I loved the characters and the relationships they had with each other. There were some different dynamics but I loved the friendships and support they offered through the story. I really enjoyed the autumnal vibes and it’s set in London which was a bonus. The start was a real slow burner but once the story started it came alive. It’s very much a story about self belief and acceptance which was lovely to read.

Extremely heartwarming, I loved how this books main focus was the journey of self discovery and believing in yourself. I enjoyed the slow burn romance and all of the whimsical, magical elements!

It’s perfectly cosy and autumnal, the best book to get you in the mood for the ‘ber’ months to begin. Such a joy to read!

Rewitched is the cosiest and most autumnal book and you totally need to read it this autumn.

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to read the ARC and listen to the ALC and both the book and the audiobook are incredible.
Throughout the book I kept thinking about how in the world is this a debut novel because it’s so good!!!!!
This book felt like a hug and it was heartwarming and touching. While the book has romance, it’s not the main plot. This is a book about self love and self discovery.
I don’t want to spoil anything for the plot but everything connected and it was so cleverly done. The world building is also incredible!!!

Grab a cup of tea on a rainy weekend and enjoy this book.

Thank you Pan Macmillian for the ARC and the ALC.

It's September and the Halloween season has officially started! I'm also slowly getting in a more witchy mood and that shows in the books I've lined up to read. I was very curious about this book. Especially because cosy fantasy is always a little tricky. Either I love it or I get a little bored and it's impossible to know which book is gonna be which. I was therefore really happy that I found this book on Netgalley and that Pan Macmillan granted me a digital copy.

This book is quite clearly one of the cosy fantasies that work for me. That's partly because the heroine of this story is really relatable. In a way she has a lot of dreams, but there is always some sensible part of her brain holding her back. When we're young we all think that we're gonna do everything we wanna do when we grow older, but that's just not what happens. Bella had a lot of learning and growing to do, but I think we all recognize where her journey starts.

I also really liked all the magic in this book. The author clearly thought about all the magic and how it worked and yet it still feels really playful and dynamic. That's also because, despite the fact that our heroine isn't using her magic for big stuff, she is using it casually for small things around the house. However, things got more and more excitig the more magic our heroine started to learn and use. Partly due to all the other characters involved, but also because of the plot.

That was for me the biggest surprise. Like in all cosy fantasies there is some romance, there is some magic and most of the time things are quite well. However, in this case the stakes are actually high. Not only because our heroine can lose her magic, which is already terrifying enough. But also because things actually get dangerous. I really enjoyed this mix of romance, magic, relatable and funny characters and danger.

The cosiest, most magical, warm hug of a book for autumn. Its witchy vibes are immaculate and the message about reclaiming your inner magic is exactly what we need right now.

3.5*
This is a such a cosy, autumnal read. It’s got a lovely story of finding yourself again which I feel would really connect with some readers.
I found Belle to be really relatable in places and so that helped me feel connected to the story.
I think I was expecting more of a romance plot and therefore I think that took a star off for me but I know a lot of people will probably really enjoy it to have less romance.
My biggest issue is the pacing as at times but this is a great debut book and I have no doubt a lot of readers will really like this

I enjoyed this book so much, it was a perfect story to curl up with on an unseasonably stormy afternoon. A cosy read, with romance; bookshops (who doesn't love a book set in a bookshop); strong coffee and good friendships with a magic system which made sense. I liked the little nods of homage to Bewitched and (I think) The Worst Witch, and I thought the descriptions, particularly of Hecate House with the zodiac doors were well done. I needed something engaging and light, without being trivial, and this totally fitted.

Thank you for the advance copy, I will be buying this for two of my friends, both of whom really love a witchy tale!

Cosy. Witches. Warlocks. Covens. Bookstore.

It was a little slow to begin with but honestly a witch working in a bookstore with her whiskered companion and soul sister, who meets a dashing young Warlock and ends up in a fight to keep her powers.

Yep, I was hooked and my cosy heart lapped it up! I really enjoyed the writing, the storytelling and the magic was just so wonderful.

I did love that whilst there is romance, it is just one cog in a massive machine full of twists, secrets, family, friendship, magic and self belief.

I will absolutely be looking out for more from this author but honestly I felt like it did end with a potential for another story from this world so fingers crossed, maybe Ariadne finds herself a magical lover 😉

Thank you to netgalley and panmacmillan for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this one and it's another perfect, cosy witchy read for the Autumn months. Bella's journey of self discovery at the age if 30, I feel, speaks to all of us. Her quest to prove her worth as a witch also shows her how much she needs to believe in her own worth as a person, in general. She needs to put her own self doubt aside, in order to show not only the magical world what she us made of, but also the mortal world as well. Bella's relationship with her best friend Ariadne, as well as the tension between herself and fellow coven member, Rune, were fun to read, and I enjoyed the twists and turns thrown at her by the Coven, as well. In addition, the contrast of settings between magic and non, especially Bella's job at the bookshop where, in fact, she did use her magic to help around the place, was well done. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the writing style, especially once the story got going!

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Rewitched is a fun witch read especially for the colder months.

It took me a while to get into this book. I felt as if it has a very slow start but once it takes off about the 50% mark then I did not want to put it down

I enjoyed the characters and the plot of the book. I haven’t really read many witch books and this one made me feel cozy and ready for autumn.


This book is a light, cozy easy read perfect for autumn and I recommend this book to people who enjoy Witchy books and magic. If you are looking for an autumn read then I also recommend this book.

*Thank you NetGalley and pan macmillan for providing me this arc in return for an honest review*

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for the ARC

WOW. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. I expected a sweet self-discovery store but was hit with an emotional bomb. I really appreciated that the mc was burnt out and how this was explored. It resonated with me and I found the representation great. For once a small town book isn't solely a romance and I loved that. Our mc is in focus and her journey to healing and finding back to herself and her magic. There was some romance but I appreciated the friends and found family more. Highly recommend.

Good writing, and I love that the premise is evocative of the days I watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but it took too long to get into the book. Halfway through I was not hooked.

Longer review to come on my blog.

I really loved this book. It was so cute but it was also more than that. It was a path to self discovery and learning about the important things that make you up and the people that came together to do so.
The pacing of this book was slower which I usually wouldn’t enjoy but it complemented the style of writing and storyline so well that I couldn’t help but enjoy it. The only fault I can give this book is the fact that I read it in the wrong weather. Which is completely the British weather’s fault. I can’t wait to see what this author does next and any books that may be to come.

I went in for a witchy romance set in the UK and came out as a bookshop owner in her thirties, feeling oddly seen and warm.

Belle is a sweet character who starts the book needing a boost of confidence. I love the idea of the witches doing a 'use it or lose it' test at thirty because I think (and I may be projecting) it's a dangerous age to be complicit and having something to push people along is a nice idea. I also really appreciated that while there was a romance, it wasn't the main focus. I've read too many of these where romance overpowers the witch stuff. Also, slow-burn! Love it.

It's fun and whimsical, and I recommend it to people looking for a pick-me-up.

I really enjoyed reading this book and it's the perfect book for spooky season! It was my first book by this author but definitely not the last! I loved Belladonna and I loved reading about how she needs to get her magic back, all the steps she has to take. This my friends is the perfect book for spooky season so go get it!

Thank you to netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advance copy to read.

I absolutely loved this book. It makes for the perfect witchy and autumnal read. The writing is brilliant.

I loved our main character and found her to be extremely relatable.

This was a super fast and easy read. I would recommend to anyone this autumn.
