All's Spell That Ends Spell by J. Penner publishes 3/30/27

 


This was a fun cozy fantasy romance!  


Poppy is a witch who sets out to be as evil as she can.  The only problem is her handsome neighbor, Finic.  Poppy decides that if she sabotages his acting career she will be able to get rid of the unwanted fae.  Only her magic backfires and now Poppy is discovering that maybe he isn't as bad as she originally thought.  Poppy has to decide if she truly wants to be a wicked witch or if she should follow her heart. 


I just have to say that there is nothing like a cozy romance with magic to make you forget all of your problems.  Poppy was a fun character and I enjoyed the growth she made throughout the book.  There were some really cute moments with her and Finic along with many Shakespeare references, wonky magic, and fantastic baking.  This book is a true delight that will brighten your day and make you want to fall in love. 

4 out of 5 stars

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for this ARC.

Where the Girls Were by Kate Schatz Publishes 3/3/26

 I wish that everyone who had an opinion about women's bodies and what they can do with them would take the time to read a book like this.  Reading is so powerful because you can truly have empathy and understanding of a situation that you might never be in yourself.  I don't know how anyone could read this story and not feel for Baker and all that she went through.  Baker has everything going for her.  She is the valedictorian of her 1968 class and has big dreams of becoming a writer and living in Paris after she attends Stanford University.  Everything is going her way until she goes out to a concert with her cousin and falls in love.  Like so many girls during this time, Baker has very little understanding of her own body and received no education about how to prevent pregnancies.  Baker becomes pregnant and has very few options of what she can do.  Being an unwed mother during this time is pure scandal and will completely destroy her futu...

  A new Katherine Center novel is one of things I look forward to most in the year.  "The Shippers" did not disappoint and was a great way to start this year off.   In this novel JoJo has relationship issues.  In order to solve these issues, JoJo hatches a plan with her sister to win back the guy who was her first kiss and longtime crush, Finn Turner  He also happens to be on a cruise ship with her entire family and old neighborhood for her sister's wedding.  Also on that cruise ship is JoJo's best friend, Cooper.  They have been estranged for four years. At one time they were inseparable and have only now just started speaking again.  JoJo ends up roping in Cooper to try and help her win Finn, but as you can probably guess, things do not always go to plan.  I absolutely loved this book.  It was a great escape and a heart warming story.   I really enjoyed reading about all of the characters and seeing their growth especial...

Double Shadow by Andrew Ludington Publishes 4/21/26

  A great edition to this time traveling, action-packed series! In this novel Rabbit travels back in time to Jerusalem to help Helen.  She is being accused of being part of an illegal time traveling ring.  Only when he travels back he meets a younger Helen who has never met him before.  Helen is chasing after a man named Eshek who has stolen money and if Helen can get the money back she can help her sister.  The only problem is that there is also a killer on the loose who seems out to get Rabbit.   In this novel we learn a lot more about Helen and her back story.  We also get to see more of Rabbit and Helen's relationship.  This book has lots of action and adventure but the best part of the story for me is the time travel.  I love all of the historical detail and knowledge of the time periods they travel to.  I am excited to read more as I am really enjoying what is happening between Rabbit and Helen.  Thank you to Minotaur Boo...
