This was a great second book, I’m so used to second books having a lull but I thoroughly enjoyed being back in this world and cannot wait to see what else this author has in store.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Laura Thalassa never fails me. I didn't think she could write something better then Bewitched but here it is. This is my second series from this author and she is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

one of the best books i’ve read in a while! i loved the motion portrayed of the couple and how each of them sacrificed something for the other to be together. i really love the idea of getting a novel to see their life before everything went down!

Fabulous. Second book in series. Has a little bit of every magic. The groveling and angst in this second book is great. Definitely recommend.

Witches, demons, curses, evil - non stop action, intrigue, betrayal, murder and torture - and passion from past and present collide within it all. Secrets and high level of evil weaving through everything, yep, you will be rooting for some to die! And just when you think it is over, yep a cliff ...

I think this may be my favorite witchy series! In book 2 Selene and memnon are still back and forth between love and hate. They need to work together to try to figure out the plot currently putting Selenes life at risk while also unraveling their shared past. This was every bit as good as book 1. It kept me on my toes because I definitely didn’t know what was coming next. I think the magic system is very well done. Memnon is probably a little over powered, but it ends up balanced with all the secrets he keeps. I enjoyed seeing more of the wolves in this book, but I do wish her familiar was around more!

Laura can never do wrong, all of her books are truly wonderful!
I’ve got to warn you, it DOES have a cliffhanger but oh well, it just makes me all the more excited for the next one!
And the spice???? Perfection

Obsessed.
witches, werewolves, oh my
urban fantasy
touch her and die
enemies to lovers
animal side sick,a familiar
fated mates
magic school
ancient history

This is a true enemies to lovers that is fast paced and a wild ride. The banter, the magical quests and the familiar were by far my favorite. This was a hard to put down book.

Unfortunately, the writing style was not for me and I did not finish book 1. Therefore, I will not be able to review the sequel. Thank you for this ARC and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Bespelled (the second book in the Bewitched series) by Laura Thalassa is a spooky read perfect for someone looking for something not too serious for the Halloween season.

In my experience, when you pick up a Laura Thalassa book, you are signing up for a romance with some silly, supernatural, beefy man that is pure fun. So far, the Bewitched series has lived up to the Thalassa recipe with one caveat that increased my usual 2-star ratings to a 3-star: I love witchy books, and Thalassa does a pretty great job of setting a great witchy vibe.

Don’t go in expecting too much: the plot isn’t super original, the love interest isn’t unique, his one-liners usually make me inwardly cringe, and the protagonist will always have a super cringy zinger at hand that I am certain no one would actually say aloud. Do expect a plot that is interesting enough to keep you reading, fun witch business, and enough spice to keep most people going. Don’t take it too seriously, and enjoy yourself.

It also doesn’t hurt to imagine Memnon as Justin Baldoni. ;)

Thank you, Laura Thalassa, Lavabrook Publishing, and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Better than the first book, but still leaves something to be desired. Especially with the writing. Happy to see that Memnon and Selene moved things along a little. I like him a lot more this time around. Character dynamic has definitely improved from the first installment. Still hooked in this world, so I’m excited to see what’s next.

4.5 ⭐

I ate this up!!! I loved that Memnon and Selene work together to try and solve the murders, and we get a much better glimpse of their past.

There is one part that made me cry *cough cough Nero* but I recovered.

Memnon is always scheming behind the scenes and seems to be 5 steps ahead, which was very interesting and we learn a lot more about the inner workings of the coven, the Marin pack and the members of the supernatural *high society* in the Bay Area.

I really felt for Selene as she tried to make friends and kept getting deceived. It did feel like Selene barely attended classes and I wish we got a little bit more of her academic setting --- but I understand a lot was going on.

This ends on another major cliffhanger and I cannot wait for the next book.

Was enthralled. Love love loved this. Laura Thalassa's writing is addictive and i can't wait to read more by her

I have no words. I am completely speechless at this incredible book. It had me in a choke hold and sick with anxiety from basically all the twists and my mind is obliterated.

I could not, nor did I want to put this down.

Selene growing into her self was so amazing! I have no doubt she is only going to continue to get even more so! And Memnon! Gah! So morally grey and so deliciously incredible. The touch her and d*e vibes are next level and I love him so much. Also the mouth on him. So dirty 😏 I enjoyed every second. There chemistry is next level. The heat was coming off the pages!

This story is so damn captivating and enthralling. I am seriously addicted and it’s going to be so excruciating to have to wait for more!

Bespelled takes what you learned in Bewitched and turns it on its head.

Prepare yourself for lots of drama, violence, and high heat.

Memnon is still a growly force to be reckoned with, who proves that while he may be a quick study on modern life, he’ll continue to obstinately cling to some of his ancient ways as long as he so chooses.

Selene steps into her own and shows us exactly how strong she really is. She’s not one to be underestimated—or trifled with.

I received a copy of the book from Bloom Books. All review opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book. Honestly even better than the first, but I loved the first one too. There was so much development in the plot while also giving a lot of background information that tied the whole story line together. I really loved Memnon’s character development and Selene’s strength. Overall was really really pleased with this and I’m so excited for the rest of the series!
