With its charming characters, heartwarming friendships, and a touch of magic, this book is perfect for curling up with a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly day.

📝 The story is filled with magical elements, switching between spellcasting, potion-making, and mysterious trials for the main character.

The whole atmosphere of this book was so cozy and wholesome that it makes you want to cuddle up in a blanket at home with a cup of hot chocolate. It’s definitely a perfect book to read during the ber-months, especially near Halloween time because of all the witches and warlocks in this story!

The narrator of the audiobook captured the cozy atmosphere perfectly with their voice and it really helped to bring out all the characters to life.

I had an enjoyable time following Belladonna’s journey to self love and self belief throughout the book. I loved how all the characters who cared about her were very supportive of her and wholeheartedly believed in her capabilities and potential.

The romance was very slow burn and very cute between Bell and Rune. I loved how they bickered a lot at first and were very infuriating to each other. But we find out how Rune is actually so sweet and I loved how he always believed in Bell and had a hand in, along with other characters, encouraging her to believe in herself and to stop deprecating herself.

I also couldn’t stop smiling because of the wholesome friendship between Ariadne and Bell!! Their interactions were very funny to me, it was such a joy to listen to their conversations.
