AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER The Honey Witch of Innisfree can never find true love. That is her curse to bear. But when a young woman who doesn't believe in magic arrives on her island, sparks fly in this deliciously sweet debut romantasy novel of magic, hope, and love overcoming all. Twenty-one-year-old Marigold Claude has always preferred the company of the spirits of the meadow to any of the suitors who've tried to woo her. So when her grandmother whisks her away to the family cottage on the tiny Isle of Innisfree with an offer to train her as the next Honey Witch, she accepts immediately. But her newfound magic and independence come with a price: No one can fall in love with the Honey Witch. When Lottie Burke, a notoriously grumpy skeptic who doesn't believe in magic, shows up on her doorstep, Marigold can't resist the challenge to prove to her that magic is real. But soon, Marigold begins to care for Lottie in ways she never expected. And when darker magic awakens and threatens to destroy her home, she must fight for much more than her new home--at the risk of losing her magic and her heart. "The Honey Witch is a sweet feast, brimming with whimsy, magic, and tender longing." - Rachel Gillig "Featuring a grumpy/sunshine queer romance, lovely imagery, and a distinctly cozy aesthetic, this one is a charmer." --Paste Magazine

This book's magic system wasn't completely explained until the protagonist was in battle towards the end, and the pacing felt uneven. It gets a pick for the enchanting characters and cottage core vibe plus it cured me of my reading slump.

With lines like this, The Honey Witch is successfully rescuing me from my reading funk.

"...What is so wrong about being a bitch? It is the closest a girl can be to a wolf."

“But it feels good. It feels right. It feels like she was always meant to burn.” - as this book deals with witches….. I am CONCERNED.

This cute cozy romantasy follows a woman who learns her perpetual strangeness is because she is a honey witch, a title inherited from her grandmother. She's all too eager to accept her role, but it comes with a price. Honey witches are cursed to never fall in love. When a skeptical woman shows up at her door though, Marigold is determined to convince her magic exists. Their growing feelings seem to defy the curse, but the consequences are severe.

The temperature has leveled out a bit and doesn't feel as disastrously hot as it has been recently! I've been taking advantage of that and going to the park for a walk after work most nights I'm not working late! 🌿☀️

I've heard really wonderful things about this book, so I'm excited to give it a try! 💕📚

I don't think the picture does this book justice. It's so pretty. My FairyLoot May adult fantasty showed up again with no shipping email. So a fun surprise!

This one is pretty cute. And I love the cover. It's romantasy. Is that the new term for this genre? Feeling old suddenly. Or like I got Covid (that is definitely true).
