I have absolutely adored this trilogy! I think Not Your Crush's Cauldron was my favorite of the three because I can easily identify with Olive--except for the whole magic thing. She's smart, inciteful, but has some insecurities she needs to deal with. And I really liked Bax's ability to bring out the best in her, and vice versa. This was so cute and I loved the continuation of the story. I'm hoping there will be more!

I started this book then very quickly realized I had no idea what was going on, and who was who.. After looking up some more information I learned it was number 3 in a series. I wish publishers would write very plainly on the description that a book was number 2, 3, + in a series.

This was a cheesy, adorable novel. I was instantly hooked by the concept. Who doesn't love the idea of the straight-laced girl going full daredevil and her guardian angel thinking he's got an easy ass job protecting her! This is an adorable book and I love April Asher's writing style.

This was so fun! All the books in the series have been a blast, and I especially enjoyed the tattoo storyline in this one.

Supernatural Singles series #3. Witchy paranormal romance. Can be read as a standalone but better as part of the series of the three sisters. Olive Maxwell much prefers teaching about the Supernatural world to taking part in it and leaves the magical shenanigans to her two sisters. After assigning her college students a project designed to nudge them outside their comfort zones, Olive realizes she’s never once stepped a toe out of her own . . . and it’s about time that changed. Baxter Donovan, Guardian Angel not-so-extraordinaire, has acquired so many black marks on his record it looks like a Scantron test. He’s been given one last chance to keep his Guardian wings—a high-profile Assignment he knows all too well. Olive is usually as low-risk as it gets. Hell, she wrote the safety manual. The pacing felt off, way too slow with no real stakes in the book. My favorite parts were when the sisters would be together, which didn’t really happen a lot until the end.

Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher.

This series is a fun, charming witchy fantasy. Not my all time favorite, but I did enjoy reading it. Olive and Bax had some sweet moments and some steamy ones (although there could have been more of those). Overall, a cute ending to this series.

I really enjoyed the other books in this series so I was really excited to get to Olive and Bax's book.

The friend group is one of the best parts of this series and they didn't disappoint here. The triplets are nosy and loyal and a damn delight when they're all together. And don't get me started on Harper. Bax has been an enigma and I still feel like he is.

Plot wise, it was okay. If felt rushed and some points and directionless at others, almost like there were too many plot threads to have. I would have liked more information about Bax and being a Guardian (especially since we got his POV), but everything was pretty superficial.

Overall, it's the characters that kept me going here, but I feel like I could have left this one unfinished. However, if there is more to the series, I'll read it.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing the arc free of charge**

Not Your Crush’s Cauldron by April Asher is the third book in the paranormal romance Supernatural Singles series. Just like a lot of romance series the Supernatural Singles series changes main characters in each new book of the series with the world building being what ties them together. Since we have new characters in each book these books can be read as a standalone if choosing to do so.

Olive Maxwell is a teacher and prefers quietly sitting back teaching about the supernatural world than being a big part of it like her two sisters. When Olive hands out an assignment to her students that just may get them out of their comfort zone Olive wonders why she stays so solidly in her own.

This realization that she’s always playing it safe and staying in the shadows leads Olive to begin making some big changes in her life. One of those changes was to move into Baxter Donovan’s and with that renew her longtime crush on the handsome guardian angel. Bax soon finds out that Olives new antics have gotten her on someone’s radar and he has been chose to protect her but rule number one of guarding is don’t fall for your assignment.

Having read the first two Supernatural Singles books I knew what to expect going into Not Your Crush’s Cauldron by April Asher. These paranormal romances are basically like taking a romcom story and setting in a supernatural world and I found each a lot of fun. This third book may just have been my favorite of the series with watching the lead step out of her comfort zone which of course led to a lot of laugh out loud moments along the way. There really was growth with both characters though and that’s always a draw in a romance, fantasy or otherwise and when finished this is definitely an author I would return to in the future.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher is the third book in the Supernatural Singles series. Where a witch takes a stroll on the wild-ish side, sparking an alert that saddles her with her very own Guardian Angel…who happens to be her secret crush―and new roommate.

Olive Maxwell is the youngest triplet and prefers to teach and research rather than actually using her supernatural powers. She never steps a toe out of line, while Bex Donovan, Guardian Angel, already has some black spots on his record. When she starts a quest to complete her Dare I Docket list, he gets assigned to water her over to save his career.

I read the first two books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them both, but this one is my favorite. Watching Olive leave her comfort zone, find herself, and stand up for herself was heartwarming. Meanwhile, Bex supported her and gave her the courage to achieve her goals. The relationship between Bex and Olive is so believable because when you find the person you love how, their support can make the hard things easier! This book is so fun and flirty, following Olive's work through her list with Bex, her sisters, and her demon best friends (which was a fantastic side character in this book, and I would love more of Harper)!

I'm sad to see this series end, but I loved being in this world and the heartwarming feelings that April Asher sparked with her books. I would highly recommend picking up these witchy romcoms!

Olive and Bax’s story is really cute, though this one didn’t quite hit the mark that books one and two set for me. I liked that Olive got to try new things and develop more of confidence by the end of this one. It is definitely slower in that sense, since it feels like the focus is on self-discovery. And Bax takes a while to finally accept that he can live life for himself and not care about what his dad would do or say, to live the life that will make himself happy. The Docket items that they tackle together are fun and cute, but the slower pace just meant I had more time to dread the eventual reveal (which, unsurprisingly, was revealed by a third party), but I also wasn’t as absorbed in this one. Vi and Linc’s story is still my favorite. I loved the appearances from all the triplets and Harper, and Edie and even Gage. I think I was waiting to get a little more about Olive and Bax’s pasts, which might’ve made their story seem stronger and give more context. Bax’s dad ends up being pretty one-dimensional, unfortunately. Kind of like how the Maxwell sisters’ mother was just irritating in Vi’s book lol.

If Harper does eventually get a book with Adrian, I hope we get a little more exploration of why she hates the word love so much because my interest is piqued.

I think the strongest elements of this one are still the friendships/family and the support network they provide for each other. And I did enjoy the way Bax and Olive fit together and balanced each other out, boosting each other’s confidence and supporting each other just by being there for each other.

Thank you to Netgalley/St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC!

3.75, rounded up! The third book in the Supernatural Singles series, and I just love it! It is no surprise, if you know me, how much I love witchy books, and April Asher never disappoints. However, I did prefer the previous two books to this one. Despite that, it was still very enjoyable! Bax and Olives relationship is very sweet, just in general I find Asher's romances to be fluffy/sweeter (which is a very good thing in my book!), and the magical elements not overbearing. It's all just wonderfully executed! Also tatted MC, hello! Thank you April Asher and publisher for the arc!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

I absolutely loved the other two books in this series! Unfortunately, this one fell a little flat for me. The pacing felt off, way too slow with no real stakes in the book. My favorite parts were when the sisters would be together, which didn’t really happen a lot until the end.

I still love this author and would LOVE to see a Harper book. But both Olive and Bax were flat characters to me, making this my least favorite of the series.

This is the third book in the Maxwell sisters series. This story follows Olive and Bax’s relationship. I loved seeing characters from previous books as we watch Olive and Bax’s relationship form and grow.

Overall, this was a cute story. I really liked how infatuated Bax was with Olive. However, it fell kinda short for me. I was hoping for a much bigger "climax" and nothing really happened. I did really love Harper and her sarcastic comments.

"Not Your Crush's Cauldron" is a magical mix of romance, adventure, and supernatural shenanigans. Perfect for fans of the series, this book will have you laughing, swooning, and cheering for Olive and Bax all the way!

This book follows Olive the final triplet in the maxwell family to find love. I really enjoyed that the focus was about her finding ways to get outside her comfort zone. However I did feel like it lacked some of the plot dynamics the first two books had. Olive is the most relatable of the three sisters and I was so excited for her to finally get a book. Her friendship with Bax , the long standing crush they have for each other, and their forced proximity made the tension in this book sky rocket. I feel like the chemistry of the two main characters in this book was superior.

This was a fun conclusion to this series. I enjoyed watching Olive and Bax find their HEA. this was a fast and easy read and I enjoyed it greatly.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved every book in this series! I’m a sucker for witchy romances!
