I loved this one!
It was a fun read, the main character immediately seemed sympathetic to me, the family all kinds of crazy (which is a positive thing lol), the story was intruiging and the dialogues between the main character and basically her sworn enemy? They were hilarious and everything I was hoping for! Especially because there was so much attration between those two as well which they tried to fight, but in the end they were powerless against it!
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It made me laugh and it just gave me such a good mood every time I picked it up.

The writing style is super fun and easy, too! I saw some people complain about how the main character would directly talk to the reader and sure this is definitely not common in books, but personally I loved it, because it made the book (and writing style) very unique and memorable in my opinion.

That being said, I would totally recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a quick and fun read with likeable characters (main and side characters), a lot of humour, a dash of adventure and LOTS of sizzling attration. <3

Opening with a Fourth Wall might not be the BEST way to start a book, but it’s a light while also chaotic read. The enemies-to-lovers trope compelled by magic to be all over each other was interesting, but still ultimately comes across as a way to force chemistry. Gil’s POV tips the balance of the story into pure exposition territory. When we get to the heist part of the story (where Tilda, Gil and crew need to steal something to reverse some unintended but powerful magic), I was kinda tired and skimmed the rest. All I know is, if I ever found out a secret about myself that everyone else knew, while they screwed up my self-esteem to boot, I’d be busting out ALL the spells, LOL. The second book looks like it actually might be a little more interesting, but we’ll see.

This has such a cute and catchy title! It’s fun reading about witches and Avery Flynn has a good sense of humor.

This one is a tough one for me…I have read several books by this Author and truly enjoyed her books and her writing style. This book unfortunately miss the mark for me. Tilda comes from a family of hall of fame witches but is the black sheep of the family. She doesn’t have the skills the rest of them possess. Gil is a remarkable witch in his own right and Tilda needs his help. I really tried with this book but it was all over the place and I just Couldn’t get into the characters or the story. I know this is a new series for this author and I was really excited to read it. I would definitely read more books by Avery because I really do enjoy her books.

I feel like the fast pace of this book kind of took me a little bit to get used to. There wasn't a whole lot of world building and honestly some of the stuff I forgot after reading it. I did like the spice in the book tho.

I have to be honest, I could not finish this book. The voice in which it was written was trying entirely too hard to be quirky and relatable but just came across as cringeworthy. It distracted me from everything else.

Probably one of my favorite witchy romance books to date. I even more love a witchy dud who freezes the whole family! The story was light and humorous. The plot was so entertaining and Tilda and Gil were off the charts with chemistry. I really can’t wait to continue this series.

This was a fun, different kind of book from Avery Flynn. And the right kind of escape from reality that you need in these days. The first book in the Witchington series, it’s a frenemy to lover vibe, with lots of shenanigans going on. It’s fun, it’s sexy, and magical, which to me is so much fun! Loved it and hope for more!!

Queria ter curtido mais a história, já que os personagens eram cativantes e ela criou um sistema mágico bem interessante, mas não bati com a escrita.

I couldn't put it down and I didn't want to. This book lived up to every ounce of hype that I had experienced for it. This book is beautifully written; a gripping storyline with strong characters. It ticked all the boxes of my expectations. I would definitely recommend it to others.

This is another witchy romance. Though I've been reading a lot of these lately and they tend to blur together, this one stood out with its STEAMY scenes! Scorching!

This is my first Avery Flynn novel. I was surprised by how casual and informal the writing style is. The first lines of the book are literally “Hi. *Waves.* That’s me.” It’s a little too informal and casual for my liking. It feels a little immature, which made me constantly question the age of the two protagonists. That said, the style adds to the humour of the story, and it will definitely appeal to those who appreciate that type of writing.

I am not the targe audience for this title but I can appreciate the work that went into the romance and the story telling

Witcha Gonna Do? is the beginning of of the Witchington series. The story is set in a magical small town full of witches that hold magical capabilities, except for Tilda.

Gil has one purpose, to save his family from exile. Working a spy for the Council and The Resistance to uncover if Tilda really has no magic or if it is being hidden.

It took me some time to get into the story, but the bantering between Tilda and Gil was very entertaining. This was a fun and easy story to follow. I will be reading book two.

Thank you to the publisher for my gifted copy.

I did not love this one. It has the cutest cover but while reading it, the pacing was off and there wasn't that spark of chemistry between the characters. I liked it but it wasn't one I was crazy for.

Unfortunately this book was just not one for me, I did end up DNFing it early on.
Whilst the premise sounded amazing to me revolving around a paranormal romcom with the frenemy to lover trope, I just found the writing itself slightly childish and there were far too many inner monologues that took away from the actual plot.
I will say though, I think the cover is stunning and the book had a lot of potential to be amazing.

Tilda is the daughter of one of the most powerful family of witches but has no magical abilities of her own, making her an outre. Gil, her archenemy (and a double agent), is forced to date Tilda and together they're meant to save their families from a curse and we follow them on their magical adventure!

I love the plot of the story, and was really excited to start a YA Fantasy novel. But unfortunately, some things fell short for me.

Firstly, the world-building was really slow and haphazard. There was a lot happening with nothing exactly happening all at ones, and that became confusing. The Council, the Misfits and just so many more characters made it difficult to focus on the main plotline. The point of views were a little weird, I couldn't figure out why the main character was talking/narrating to <i>us</i> (which was again, weird because it started off with “hi *waves*” like?????). It didn't feel like a fourth wall break, it was just plain awkward.

That being said, I liked the romance and that's my only takeaway from this one.

P.S The cover is super pretty too!

Thank you Berkley Pub and Valentine PR for the ARC in exchange for a honest review!

This was…ok. I’m a fan of witchy PNR and I think there are elements here that are interesting but the romance was a little flat. The idea of the FMC being the most powerful when the entire world thinks she has no powers? A tried and true trope in PNR. But I wanted more details to make this world come alive, and instead I just felt like I had too many questions without enough answers. Add in chemistry that was cute but not the fire I wanted and it’s just a middle of the road kind of read. But it is the first book in the series and I believe in trying anything at least three times so I wouldn’t rule out checking out the next book.

*First of all, thank you as always to @prhinternational and @netgalley for the free book.

This would have been a very entertaining and enyojable story, and it started SO well I'm really frustrating for how it ended. If you love witches and romcom, this is the book for you. That's a certainty. The problem is that from almost the middle of the book, it relies completely on the romance part, especially on the phisical attraction of the two main characters.
Don't get me wrong. I love romance and I'm not imbarassed if I find spicy scenes, but I want more in a book than that. And this one has a real great potential.
What a real pity.
