Another amazingly sexy witchy read. This is a series that I know I can turn to for a good time. I love the themes, the modern setting, the empowered women, and cinnamon roll men. The writing is fast paced, witty, and the character building is top tier for the genre and books you could comp to it. I'll forever be an April Asher fan.

DNF @43%

I really tried to like this one, but the writing felt almost childish. At 43% I really had no investment in either main character and the internal monologue of these two 30+ adults just felt so immature that I couldn’t keep going.

Thank you Netgalley and St Martin’s Griffin for providing this ARC to me.

I absolutely love this series so much.

Olive and Bax’s story did not disappoint. I loved how their friendship turned into something more. I love how Bax was protective of her but also let her stand up on her own.

The romance was top notched. Their chemistry was fire!

The ending felt perfect to me.

4.5 stars, really the only thing this book left me yearning for was a little more spice. The first 2 books had excellent spice but this one just fell a little flat for me. Overall it was very cute, funny, and a very good rom-com. I loved Bax and Olive together from the very beginning and the way Bax calls her “angel” had my heart fluttering every time. I was ecstatic to get an ARC copy of this book and aside from a little more spice I am not disappointed!

I received an advance review copy but this review is my own honest opinions.

Not Your Crush's Cauldron is a sweet, lighthearted supernatural romance and the 3rd book in the Supernatural Singles series.
The story follows Olive, the 3rd Maxwell sister, as she get her HEA in this Friends To Lovers tale.
Olive and Bax were great together and as they tried to push the boundaries of their comfort zone, we got romance, steam, great banter, and a bad boy with a soft, artistic side who made me swoon with how he treated Olive.
The story was well written, emotional yet fun and I would recommend it to romance lovers.
Thank you to NetGalley, and April Asher for the ARC.

Having read both of the previous books in the series, I was a tad nervous for this one. I adored the first book. I giggled and squealed and finished the book in about 24 hours, but the second one, while still enjoyable, didn't give me the same feels. For that reason alone, I was nervous about jumping into this one, but it was delightful. The writing once again made me feel like I was instantly part of the friend group and experiencing everything with the characters, and I was so attached it wasn't even funny. I really should have been doing productive adulty things, but I ended up reading this in about three days, shirking my work and responsibilities to finish. A great third installment, and I'm extremely excited for the fourth.

The final Maxwell sister’s time has come! I was looking forward to reading Olive and Bax’s romance. Bax is a dreamy guardian angel who isn’t allowed to have a personal connection with his protectee- who just so happens to be Olive. Bound to secrecy, Bax isn’t sure why his crush has been placed under his protection. As Olive tries to break out of her comfort zone by making a list of activities she wants to try, Bax and Olive grow closer. Will they maintain their connection when Bax's assignment ends?

Olive and Bax have a sweet romance! I liked the witch x angel pairing and how they worked through the issues that came up. Olive learns to become more confident in herself and stand up for what she wants. At the same time, Bax learns to define meaning in his own life even when his family has strict expectations. I enjoyed seeing the other sisters and the magical forces that guide them- their grandma is a force of nature. Readers who enjoy magical families, lighthearted fun, and sweet romance should check out this series.

Thank you to April Asher, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute witchy romance! I started this series from the 3rd book, and would say it was relatively easy to follow along! I enjoyed getting to see Olive grow a bit of a backbone and fell in love with Bax in all his artsy, badboy nature! I always enjoy the roommates trope, and banter is a huge selling point for me. I never thought i'd need a Angel x Witch book until I read this one but, this pairing did not dissappoint. Although I didnt love Bax's nickname for Olive being angel and wish we'd seen a bit more of the magic aspect overall I can't wait to start this series from the beginning in October! Thanks to St. Martins Press and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book early as an ARC!

These witchy romcoms are adorable and fun. Great pallet cleansers for reading in-between fantasies and other hard core stories. I loved the romance in this one and the characters. It was beyond cute and I want more.

This book was adorable! I requested it without realizing it was part of a series, but it worked extremely well as a standalone. I loved all of the quirky characters, and it was amusing and cheesy in all the best ways. The ending was heartwarming and sappy in a hallmark sort of way. I am really hoping that my girl Harper gets her own book next!

I received a book that I was excited to read, but I soon realized that it was the third book in a series. I had not read the previous two books, and I was lost by the end of the first page. Although each book in this series focuses on a different couple, the stories are all interconnected. Therefore, I decided to read the first two books before continuing with the third one.

After reading all three books, I have grown to love the Maxwell sisters. They have an unbreakable bond with each other and their friend group. Bax and Olive's story was destined to be told noticeably from book one, and I am glad I finally got to read it. If you've read the other two books in the supernatural Singles series, you will find this one to be very similar. The sisters all have a similar voice, and likewise, the males all have a similar inner dialogue. However, they are all from different species of supernatural. Each character has their struggles, and they spend the book overcoming obstacles together. The book is filled with witty dialogue, akin to the Buffyverse, and a few steamy scenes to enjoy. If you enjoyed the first two books, you will definitely love this one.

Now, I am excited to read Harper and Adrian's story (unsure if this is in the works but I hope it is!). Although the Maxwells are great, I am particularly interested in Harper's story. She is the thread that I want to know more about. Overall, Asher has delivered everything that you would expect from a magical rom-com. The final Maxwell sister finds her true love, the Prima finally takes her seat, and these girls have the sassiest of grandmas. Give this book a read, and you won't regret it.

Another great story in this series! Olive and Bax were everything I hoped they would be. I love that he fell so hard and fast for her and that he helped her stretch her self out of her comfort zone. I really hope Harper gets a book and this is not the end of this group of friends.

For a series about a trio of sisters who are witches, I was somewhat perplexed that Olive doesn’t perform any magic until about 62% into the book. Donovan on the other hand is a guardian angel whose paranormal problems lay at the forefront of the story. Also what I find perplexing is Donovan’s nickname for Olive, which is angel. Angel, as in the species in which he is. Could you imagine looking at your significant other and calling them “human?”. It would be like Bella calld Jacob “wolfie.” In any other relationship I would have swooned at the moment this particular nickname was delivered but here it felt like a really odd choice.

Those are only small things though. The sexual tension in the relationship arrives pretty quickly in the book and what follows is mostly lighthearted and just good ol’ plain fun amongst old favourites from the previous books in the series. Both are easy to love characters whose b-stories are almost as interesting as the main romantic storyline.

Asher’s books just keep getting better and better and here’s to hoping the real star of the show, Harper, gets her own story!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for providing an advanced reading copy through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A perfect follow-up to a series about bright vibrant witches who take on the world with a storm. I enjoyed the romance between the two leads who seemed to perfectly balance each out out and help each other grow. I also really liked Olive's character and how she developed a shiny backbone as the series went on. I found myself unable to put this book down and read it all in one day. The romance was my favorite part and I couldn't help but swoon at how cute they were together! The chapter titles were just as witty as the book itself!

I was hoping that this one would live up to the first, but I was let down. The writing style tries too hard to be… cutesy? Trendy? I can’t put my finger on it, but it comes off as contrived and I felt constantly embarrassed for the characters. The romance between the two main characters felt patronizing and full of fake “problems”, and it was really difficult for me to get through. Not for me, unfortunately.

Bax and Olive’s romance has been hinted since the first book in the series. I’ve had lots of fun with this trilogy, especially with book two, and I hoped I’d love book three just as much but I’ll say that it fell a bit flat for me.

The “I’m your Guardian Angel” secret already put me in a sour mood, but well, I could overlook it a bit since it didn’t impact the plot too much after all, it was just there. I think that what didn’t work for me is the bad guy/good girl dynamic Olive and Bax had. I don’t know why, but it didn’t look fitting for Bax to be like that, and Olive was too stereotypical for me. The little sister (or triplet, in this case), good girl with librarian vibes that makes a list to step out of her comfort zone. It rarely works for me, so I can’t blame the book after all.

That said, just as the other two books in the series, I found the writing sooo enchanting. I love the supernatural world set in NYC April has created. It makes me wish I was living in it so I could became friends with this group. And once again, as I’ve begged for in my previous reviews… please let Harper and Adrian have a book. PLEASE.

Rating: 3.5/5
Steam level: Open door, 1-2 scenes, high level of detail

Not Your Crush's Cauldron is an enchanting and entertaining read perfect for rom com readers and modern romance fans looking for a bit of magical whimsy in their next adventure.

I can't wait to grab a physical copy when this releases.

I absolutely love these books. I’ve read this whole little series so far, and it continues to keep me captivated and just really had a great mixture of story and spice WITH an added dose of magic.

I adored this one probably more than the others because of the triplets, I’ve always identified with Olive most. With Olive being the quiet and reserved sister, she helps everyone else be their main character and kind of just puts herself last UNTIL she doesn’t.

She moves in with Bax, the guardian angel we meet in the others as well (since he’s part of the friend group) because her current roommate is a nightmare and she just can’t sleep. But moving in with a super attractive roommate? Ooooooof.

But Olive feels like she needs to spice up her life. She had assigned a project for her students to step outside of the comfort zone, and she realized that maybe she should too. Bax steps in and completes the items with her. So we get those friends to lovers vibes, yuuuum!

This was a really cute and fun romance. I think that Bax and Olive were really good matches for each other. I really liked that you got to see the other sisters' lives throughout the book. My only issue with the book is that the climax was... anticlimactic. I really like their story but when it all came to a head it wasn't what I expected. Still a 4 star read!
