Belladonna Blackthorn hasn’t lost her magical spark... but she hasn’t seen it in a while, either.
Balancing work at her beloved Lunar Books with protecting it from her toxic boss, who’s running it into the ground, and all the while concealing her witchcraft from the non-witches around her - Belle is burnt out. Perfecting the potential of her magic is the last thing on her mind.
But when her 30th birthday brings a summons from her coven, and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle risks losing her magic forever. With the month of October to fix things, and signs that dark forces may be working against her, Belle will need all the help she can get - from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor figure, and even an (infuriatingly handsome) watchman who’s sworn to protect her...
- From Goodreads.
This was so lovely and charming, and a very sweet story about finding confidence in yourself and being brave enough to take risks and do things that might be scary but will result in amazing things for you if you take the chance.
I loved how the magical world was fit into our own, it was very fun to see how the magic worked and how different witches and warlocks used it.
All the characters were very enjoyable to read about and all of them had interesting and full lives and stories to tell. I liked that Bella learnt a lot from each different character and they all really contributed something to the story and Bella's journey of finding more confidence in herself.
I would definitely recommend this if you enjoy cosy fantasy stories like Sangu Mandanna's The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping, it had the same whimsical magic and wholesome found family, along with a little bit of heartwarming romance.
