What happens when a scatterbrained witch accidentally summons a ridiculously attractive demon? Apparently, you get a quirky, magical romance that's perfect for fall! 🍂🔮

Today I'm reviewing The Witch Fix by Kennedy Rhodes, a fun, witchy paranormal romance filled with magical mishaps, a charming demon love interest, and a little supernatural chaos.

Meet Ava, a witch who runs a coffee shop, struggles to discover her magical specialty, and has a habit of forgetting just about everything. When a mysterious spellbook leads her to summon Soren, a surprisingly charming demon, things take an unexpected turn.

And while I had a genuinely good time with this book—it even helped pull me out of a reading slump—I definitely had some issues with Ava's characterization. Her forgetfulness felt exaggerated at the beginning, only to practically disappear as the story progressed. I also struggled to connect with her initial relationship.

But Ava and Soren? Now that's a different story! Their dynamic was cute, funny, and surprisingly wholesome. I also enjoyed the magical worldbuilding, particularly the ley lines, generational magic, and how the larger plot developed.

Was it a perfect read? Not quite. But was it entertaining, quick, and full of witchy autumn vibes? Absolutely!

🎧 Tune in for my spoiler-free review as I discuss the romance, character development, magical worldbuilding, pacing, and why The Witch Fix is a fun recommendation for readers who love cozy, witchy paranormal romances.

Today I’m reviewing An Education in Malice by S. T. Gibson, and this book was absolutely intoxicating. 🩸🥀 Give me sapphic vampires, dark academia, obsession, and a Carmilla-inspired story, and apparently I am very easy to please.

Set within the insular world of academia, An Education in Malice delivers a sensual, gothic atmosphere alongside its complicated relationships and vampiric elements. But what completely sold me was Gibson’s writing. “Sensual” really is the perfect word for it—the prose gets under your skin and makes the entire reading experience feel lush, intimate, and a little dangerous.

And I absolutely devoured it. This was one of those books I finished so quickly that afterward I needed time to actually process everything I'd just read before I could form coherent thoughts about it. 😂

🎧 Tune in for my spoiler-free review as I dive into the sapphic romance, vampires, Carmilla inspiration, dark academia atmosphere, characters, and S. T. Gibson’s deliciously intoxicating prose—and why this became such an incredible read for me.
