Vengefully Matched
New ReleaseFrom the author of the “colorful, sweet, and swoony” (Mallory Marlowe, USA TODAY bestselling author) Hopelessly Teavoted comes a witchy, sapphic rom-com about a mischievous runaway bride and her prim-and-proper Witchery Council rival who must fake-date in order to catch a would-be murderer—and accidentally fall in love.
Priscilla Hart does not do regret—except maybe for the spectacularly disastrous choice of fleeing her own wedding in a cloud of magical fireworks. Now the town’s most infamous runaway witch, she’s determined to rebuild her reputation on the Witchery Council and prove she’s more than a scandal in designer heels.
Agatha Vanderbilt Voisin, the newly elected council president, is everything Priscilla can’t stand: composed, proper, and infuriatingly perfect. But when a string of dangerous magical explosions points to Priscilla as the culprit, Agatha makes an impulsive move—announcing that they’re dating—to save her from exile.
Faking a relationship in public should be simple even for such opposites…until late-night arguments turn into slow-burn attraction, and the two discover that something wicked is brewing in Hallowcross. To survive the magic—and their feelings—they’ll have to stop pretending and risk falling for real.
Can they outwit a magic powerful enough to destroy them, or will trust be the most dangerous risk of all?

I was so excited to be back in Hallowcross and even more excited to get a sapphic story! I loved the contrast in Agatha and Priscilla's personalities and watching them pick up little pieces of each other along the way. I think where I got lost was somewhere around the halfway mark. Events began occurring with little to no buildup or allusion and in some cases was very jarring. Overall, I did enjoy this book, but it did fall flat in some places.

This was very cute! Fake dating, sapphic, an attempted murder and kidnapping plot along with a cute witchy town count me in. I loved the dynamic of Agatha and Priscilla right from the beginning they had such fun banter and chemistry and I always love a good witch story. The middle of the book is where it lost me a little bit, the relationship stopped progressing as much as I thought it should have and I didn’t like the changed dynamic. The plot also was fairly easy for me to guess. That being said I still enjoyed this book and this world. I am hoping that there is going to be a Lex book 👀 it felt like that was getting teased in the last half of the book and I loved his character so that would be interesting to see. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria publishing for this ARC!
