This is a beautiful story. The world building is so creative and detailed. I love the society that the author has created. The characters are all interesting in their own ways. The intrigue was a wonderful addition to the sweet romance story. I loved watching the MCs grow together. A very touching story about discovering what makes you happy and going for it and how love comes in many forms. Give this great story a chance.

There is nothing I love more than a grumpy x sunshine and Gabriel is SO grumpy! I loved it! Although I logically knew that all would work itself out in the end, I had to binge this book anyway. I throughly enjoyed the slow burn chemistry between Leah and Gabriel and even went back to read the first book in the series bc I enjoyed this one so much!

I DNF'd this, the voice just didn't do it for me. I try to give a book a few chapters to reel me in, especially if the premise seems like my thing, but this just fell totally flat. I think it also can't really stand alone, because it didn't really make a lot of sense to me what was going on with the secondary characters. I guess if you read the first one it might be better, but despite my interest in the blurb I couldn't get too far.

I just love a witchy romance, and DE-WITCHED was the magical and mysterious romance I needed this season!

The story captured me right away, with the quickly pacing and charm, and I loved being back in this witchy world.

WHAT TO EXPECT
-witchy romcom

*many thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

As soon as I finished Sophie H. Morgan's previous novel I knew that we would be treated to a follow-up with Leah. I was so excited for this book! It was very cute, I enjoyed the light and fluffy journey and I was already invested in the characters from the previous novel Overall this was cute and fun and deserves more hype!

The perfect witchy rom com, not every book needs to be an epic and this is the perfect cozy weekend read. Two people that shouldn't be together but are attracted to each other and need to navigate what it means to be a witch and a human. Highly recommend this series and cannot wait to see what comes next.

This one was great! It brought even more magic, mystery, and love to a new story. I loved the captivating and intriguing world with beautifully detailed world building that does its job of bringing you into the world. The characters feel real and relatable, with strong growth that keeps you invested in their journey.

The plot is well-paced, blending moments of light charm with unexpected twists that keep you guessing. The writing flows smoothly, drawing you deeper into the narrative with every page.
It’s a magical and enjoyable read, perfect for fans of fantasy with a touch of adventure and warmth.

ARC Review ~ De-Witched~

*******************************************

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was definitely an intriguing read. From start to finish it was a lot of fun. I loved the witchy elements intermingling with every day life. I loved the universe that the author created and the romance was cute but the friendships were cuter!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for this ARC!

Absolutely loved Sophie’s first book and De-Witched was was the perfect continuation of the series. She’s great at weaving a tale filled with magic and mischief while being chock full of romance and great spicy moments!!

I honestly loved this book. We have a super grumpy who warlock who dislikes humans (bc trauma) and a happy sunshine human who is obsessed with the witch world that she is not supposed to know exists. He also works at the animal shelter in a suit every day, what's not the love about that. I loved Gabriel's journey in the human world of learning more about humans and ultimately about himself. Leah is his opposite, but also perfect for his personality in every way. The question is can he get passed that she's human.

This is a solid follow-up to the first book in the Toil and Trouble series. I love a grumpy love interest, and Gabriel Goodnight is that (but also gallant and conscientious). Leah is his perfect sunny foil.

Also...Chuck! That's all.

I hadn't read the first book in this series, but this made me go back and start the whole series! It's a fun witchy read with a grumpy yet sexy MMC and a sassy FMC. Perfect for any read, but especially Halloween.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.

Witchy romcom that was very cute

Had enough fun even beginning this that for a moment I stopped and went back to read the first book first (which I very rarely do). I will be keeping an eye out for the next book in this delicious series.

I loved the first book in this series, and Sophie didn't disappoint with book two! I absolutely enjoyed Leah and how we're continuing this little trio's romance stories. Leah being the only human in the group was also delightful because it was so fun to get to see her develop throughout.

I would definitely recommend reading book one if you haven't before starting book two. There's a lot of reference back to the first one throughout discussing Leah and how she's aware of witches/the covens, but she's not supposed to. We also have a character in the first book that is brought in and you will want to know their back story.

If you like grumpy x sunshine, big secrets, witch covens, and smutty scenes then you're going to want to get into this series!

This was a cozy type of vibe that’s just perfect for this time of year.. it’s a great pair with a warm blanket and a nice hot cup of coffee or cocoa.

I'm loving the Toil and Trouble series.

In this book Leah is a rule breaker. Her friends are witches, but she's not supposed to know that witches exist. This is a grumpy/sunshine; supernatural/human romance where the guy is the grumpy warlock, and she is the sunshine mortal. Super cute read!

I throughly enjoyed this book. Leah is kind and sweet and even though she knows all about witchcraft and witches she doesn’t use that to her advantage in trying to win Gabriel’s grumpy heart. A well written forbidden love romance with lots of spice and heart felt moments. Highly recommended for anyone who loves grumpy/sunshine or forbidden love witchy romances

This series is becoming one that I look forward to reading every fall, and I'm so glad! I thoroughly enjoyed the back and forth between the MCs and their friends/families, not to mention the little bit of witchy!

This book is a charming contemporary romance that blends magic with humor. The story follows Bella, a witch dealing with the fallout of a spell gone wrong as she seeks to reclaim her powers and navigate her personal life.

Morgan’s writing is witty and engaging, bringing Bella’s relatable struggles to life. The supporting characters add warmth and charm, enhancing the lively atmosphere of the narrative. Themes of self-discovery and empowerment are woven throughout, making Bella's journey both entertaining and meaningful.

With a delightful mix of romance and magical mishaps, "De-Witched" is a feel-good read that will enchant fans of contemporary romance and magic alike. I recommend this book!
