pickThe underlying themes in comparing everyday toxic human behaviors in the magical world were on point. I like the mirrored approach to real life in this genre. The characters were better formed, or maybe Rebekah annoyed me less than Emerson did. Though the protagonists goals, needs, and "misbeliefs" were repeated too much for my liking. I prefer the more subtle approach.
pickDefinitely liked this one more than the first book. Even though I wasn‘t in Emmy‘s head, she still kind of annoyed me. I really liked Rebekah and Nick. The story was interesting as well. I like all the friends and their coven, so I‘m hoping to continue this series.
pickAfter her unwilling return to St. Cyprian, Rebekah Wilde is forced to face the Joywood, the ruling coven who had banished her ten years earlier.
Rebekah and her sister are forced to redo the magical training and testing they had supposedly failed in high school. Rebekah turns to the only witch in town who can help her, the immortal Nicholas Frost, the same man who turned away from her a decade earlier.
pickI got into this second book in the Witchlore Series much quicker than I did the first.
This book is about banished witch Rebekah Wilde, who is back in St Cyprian and has something to prove.
Her relationship with immortal witch, Nicholas Frost, is the ultimate age gap romance 😄
This was a fun, witchy read for the season.
pickI‘m giving this a low pick. While there were still things that annoyed me, I liked this a lot better than the first book in the series. This follows a character we met only briefly in book 1 and I enjoyed her much more than any of the original central characters. The author has set this up so the series could continue, but this one doesn‘t end on a cliffhanger, so I don‘t feel compelled to keep reading. #scarathlon #skeletoncrew #witchathon
pickPleased to report I really loved our #skeletoncrew buddy read (well, I did pick it lol). I‘m always confused when this series gets marketed as romance when I feel like it‘s a strong, original, fun fantasy series with noticeable romance sub plots. Yes I love the romance but this is so much more, I want to move to this town and I‘m so invested in what‘s going to happen with the covens!

I‘m going to be reading the tagged book for our #skeletoncrew buddy read - so excited as I loved the first book in the series. I‘d love to see all your tbrs if you‘d like to tag me and use the #skeletoncrew hashtag my pals!
pickThis is a local author for me and the little town this series takes place in is based on St Charles MO. This is a sweet romance and a whole lot of fun to read. Great characters and storyline. Highly recommend this one. #LittensLoveRomance
