How cool to inherit a magic house! Timing is perfect for him to leave his apartment and move to the house. But the house has a mind of it's own. It won't let him even step outside. Hulda shows up to help him navigate living in a special house. Such a fun book to read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the free digital copy of this book. This book has been published for a while now, so I will not be posting a review on Netgalley.

This was definitely a sweet fun fast paced fantasy read. I liked the rooms and the magic, the characters were easy to play along with. I highly recommend this series!

A sweet, cozy fantasy romance. I appreciated the world building, mystery development, and characterizations of our cast. I look forward to future books in this series.

Thank you for the advanced copy of this book! I will be posting my review on social media, to include Instagram, Amazon, Goodreads, and Instagram!

“Aren’t you lonely?”

Unexpected treasure. As someone who grew up near the Narragansett Bay, the setting of Whimbrel House was lovely. Highly recommend.

Thanks, NetGalley.

I’ve always been a big fan of Holmberg’s. Not only is she a local author, but she is so adept at weaving together historical settings with elements of fantasy.

And this by far is my favorite of her stories. A mysterious inheritance of a haunted house. A killer able to steal spells out of any magician. Merritt & Hilda find themselves trapped between these two stories.

It’s a bit slow in the very beginning, and it took me a little while before I got used to the uneven split timelines, but the way the timelines eventually connected was amazing and kept me engrossed.

And I always love Holmberg’s historical settings! They feel so real & grounded. The characters feel in tune with the setting as well, instead of some historical books where the characters feel like modern people dropped into history. And her magic systems are so creative! The idea that everyone capable of magic is born with specific spells within them was so interesting. I immediately wanted to know more.

This is also her first romance that I really rooted for! The relationship grew slowly and naturally, and I adored watching it.

Thank you to both NetGalley and 47North for this advance reader’s copy.

I wanna thank Netgalley for providing me an arc of Keeper of Enchanted Rooms. However, throughout 30% it felt flat to me, the magic system was good.

I really wanted to love this one and was so excited for it.. it’s endearing and it’s a pretty enjoyable experience if the cozy fantasy genre peaks your interest. The magic system is quite compelling and fairly easy to follow after the initial shock with the list of spells at the beginning of the book. I was really intrigued by the magic house’s antics which quite fun and all the characters’ reactions to it. However, will have to give it 3 stars. Would still recommend.

"Keeper of Enchanted Rooms" is a cozy and sweet read that’ll keep you on your toes. You will fall in love with the characters and the magic swirling on the page. I did find the middle to be a little slow at points, but I am happy I stuck it out and made it to the surprising ending.

I am so late ready this book, but I appreciate NetGalley and the Author Charlie N Holmberg non the less.

It took me quite awhile to get into it, and I’ll admit that’s because the time setting and my attention span just didn’t line up.

By the end it was cute and cozy, so I would read this author again for sure.

I really enjoyed this book. Charlie's books never fail to impress me.

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms is a historical cozy fantasy with some mystery and some romance. I love the combination of all of those genres together, and it works really well in this book.

I love that there are twelve different kinds of magic in this world. There is a handy guide at the beginning describing them all, but I thought it was super neat because most fantasy stories only have one or two kinds of magic.

Hulda and Merritt were both wonderfully stubborn characters whose interactions I really enjoyed. I loved their slow-burn clean romance. Charlie does slow-burn clean romance so well.

I am super excited to finish this series and see where the story takes me. I know I am going to fall more in love with these characters and this world.

I absolutely loved this novel.
Such a great story with defined characters and a great plot.
What drew me in the most was how fleshed out the characters were
The writing style was fluid and relateable.
The cover was fascinating as well.
A reviting read overall
Definitely recommend adding this to your TBR!

I’m rating this 3,5. This is not a breathtaking full-twists-and-turns story, but it’s endearing and an enjoyable experience if the cozy fantasy subgenre spikes your interest. The magic system is compelling and easy to follow after the initial shock with the list of spells at the beginning of the book. Hulda and Merritt are easy to like and the author develops their relationship at a comfortable pace (no such thing as dramatic star-crossed lovers or anything of the sort, which seems to be the usual with her books). I was really amused by the magic house’s antics and all the characters’ reactions to it.

Initially I was invested in the villain plot, but it felt like the author sidelined it too much to a point that when things finally came to a head I’d already lost interest in it, so the final act was a lot less thrilling. But all things considered, I liked the story and had a pleasant time reading it (not sure if I’ll continue the series, as I don’t think there’s enough material to warrant a full trilogy).

Many thanks to NetGalley and 47North for this edition in exchange for an honest review.

Oh man. I really wanted to love this one. The reviews were great, I typically love the author, and the synopsis was right up my alley. But it really fell short for me. The idea was there, but I just couldn’t get into it the way I wanted to. There were too many lulls and I wanted a lot more from the characters. I wanted more evil from Silas, I wanted more mischief from Owein, and more romance buildup between the main characters. All in all it was entertaining but I think it had the potential to be so much better. Thank you netgalley for my free review copy.

Charlie N. Holmberg has fully captured my imagination all over again. Such a beautifully written story, character development was amazing, and it was all round just a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Charlie Holmberg never fails to instill a feeling of warmth and whimsy in me whenever I pick up her books and Keeper of Enchanted Rooms is no exception. I am so glad she manages to churn out books at a really good pace as I never have long to wait for something fantastic to read!

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this book.

I loved everything about this book. From the pacing to the characters (except one), it was well executed. I'm not a fan of romance in books but I found myself enjoying this aspect of it as well. I would love to see this book made into a movie some day.

This book has a little of everything from magic, romance to betrayal. I think everyone would find something they would enjoy.

This book was cute and different than what I typically read. I liked the characters, the concept of the house being enchanted, and the time period. This book took me a long time to get through but that is not a reflection on how good it is!
