The Honey Witch
In this instant 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 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

Okay, okay, I have some strong opinions. I know a lot of people enjoyed this book immensely...unfortunately I am not one of those people. My discontent is solely plot based. Main conflict; too easily resolved. Third act minor conflict; too easily resolved. Lottie literally DYING and then being resurrected within the next two paragraphs??? Where was the drama of it all? I cared more about August and Frankie's relationship by the end of the book.

4.5⭐ I loved this book! The world-building is creative and has a cozy feeling. The characters are amazing, loveable, and well developed. The romances, while not incredibly spicy, develop naturally throughout the story and adds a heartwarming element. Magic in the story is centered around honey/beekeeping with a counterbalance of ash which is unique. Overall, it's charming and engaging with a good pace to keep you hooked and leaves you with that gooey warm feeling!
