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!

What a great story. I really enjoyed the first book in this series and Leah was one of my favorite characters, so I was so excited to come back into this world and Leah getting her happily ever after. And this story did not disappoint. Leah was just a fun and special character she had to have a super special someone to match her and I think Gabriel was perfect. As someone that was always on the outskirts of the witch society as she was a human and couldn't know about the witch world, i loved that she falls in love with a grumpy human hating warlock that can't use his magic. I thought matching just perfect. The story was so cute with him failing miserably at being a bar tender, at making toast, and learning to deal with people in general.
I loved that Leah was true to herself and knew she found the grumpy, moody and little aloof Gabriel sexy, and she pursued him even though she knew they had obstacles. I love how she pushed all his buttons and made him relax and really learn to be himself.

The ending of this book was my favorite. I love those big dramatic scenes where everyone comes defend Leah and Gabe It gave me all the warm feels and I love that they felt their family/friends were there for them as there had been so many times in both of their lives they have felt left out, left behind. I love that there are so many good characters in these stories. ( I really hope there will be more in this world).

I highly recommend to those that like romances with great character development, amazing family/friendships that build the characters up, grumpy/sunshine dynamics and a cool withcy rom com feels.

As usual, Sophie H. Morgan gives us a great magical realism story. Dogs? Check. Witches? Check. A grumpy/sunshine relationship? Check. Happily Ever After? Double check. Loved it!

This was good!!! There was a lot of chemistry between Leah and Gabe and this book really did enemies to lovers well. Gabe was just annoying at the beginning-not totally loathful-and we soon see his softer sides. The magical conflict was fun and drove the plot forward and I will be excited to read more in this series!

Cute. Steamy. Honestly, just a magically good time!

It’s no secret I’m a sucker for a cozy paranormal romance romp and this series ticks the boxes in the best way! This book is the perfect autumn read!
