Plant witch Sage Bishop intends to run her family’s apothecary one day. The doors just have to stay open until she can take over from her nana. That’s why she spends all her time perfecting a tonic that’ll put Bishop Brews on the map.
She certainly doesn’t need their latest hire—and her ex–best friend—Ximena Reyes causing any distractions. Alas, at the first sight of Ximena’s cheeky smile, Sage flees the shop, allowing someone to break into Bishop Brews and steal the tonic she’s been tinkering with, one that wipes their high school cheer captain’s memory.
With Bishop Brews now at risk of being shut down, Sage reluctantly partners with Ximena to find the culprit. As the mystery deepens, so do pesky old feelings. Their first kiss and Ximena’s subsequent ghosting keep replaying in Sage’s mind. Will she be able to resist Ximena’s charm, or will she let it work its magic for a second chance at love?
Cozy saphic romance fantasy, mystery, forced proximity, second chance romance, who-done-it, giant wolves, magic potions. This book had a lot going on. So much! But it never feels like too much. Shelly Page has very comfortably and very skillfully packed this story full of all the best things.
I would love nothing more than to visit the town of Blackclaw and spend the day checking out the different shops! Shelly made this town sound like a vacation destination that would top my list!
There were a few things I predicted pretty early on, but that could just be me, and it didn’t make the story any less enjoyable.
This story gave off Twilight fanfic vibes, with witches of vampires, and im so here for it.
Thank you to Penguin Teen Canada and Netgalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review!
