First I'd like to thank Netgalley for my first arc. Cause hello I love me some Laura. This book comes out May 2024.

This book was absolutely amazing. I missed Selene, Nero and Memnon so much. I loved this book as much as I did the first. The world is absolutely amazing, the characters are lovable and hate-able. This book makes me wish I was a witch in this world. It's so fun, sexy and funny. The ending had me reeling. Ugh. Absolutely cannot wait for the next installment.

This book is AMAZING! Laura Thalassa's writing is beguiling, always keeping you coming back for more and this book was no different! It is a witchy, magical world full of lust with surprising twists and turns! This series is intriguing and I would HIGHLY recommend!

Thank you NetGalley, Bloom Books and Laura Thalassa for the arc of this book!

I didn’t think that book 2 could top Bewitched but it did! I absolutely love the relationship between Selene and Memnon. This book had such amazing action, banter, and spicy scenes. I love it so much.

I know Laura Thalassa has another series of books, so I will definitely be giving them a read

This was a great upgrade to bewitched. We have more of that plot and wow how did I enjoy Memnon realizing his mistakes. Selene definitely brought him down a notch. I was glad we finally get to hear what he has been doing while away with Selene. It makes so much more sense than it did in book 1. I also admire Selene’s choice of not giving in immediately, she definitely makes him work for their relationship. I enjoyed the flashbacks, a lot just finally made sense and I like where this is going now.

I loved the second installment more than the first. While Bewitched was necessarily disjointed due to Selene's memory loss, Bespelled builds as Memnon and Selene's relationship grows. Full of dark curses, gruesome battles, and a healthy dose of spice in all the right places, I was frantically flipping the pages towards the end.

I already reviewed this on Goodreads.

This was such a great story. There was so much banter and *the wanting* was so major. I had so much fun reading this and watching this relationship blossom. I can’t wait for the finale.

Thank you Sourcebooks and NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC of this book!
I loved this book, which is the second in the Bewitched series. I devoured it and could not put it down! Sorcerer who did his wife dirty and grovels? Say no more. Action, fights, drama, steamy make ups? Yes please! I also felt the plot was a bit unique from other romantasy books. The banter was also a huge perk and I found myself chuckling out loud. I definitely recommend this series!

This book picks up right where the last one left off with Selene in a bad spot and Memnon gloating. The tables are turned though and we find out a few twists from the past. All is not what it seemed when he awoke. Our two main characters become allies, much to Selene’s reluctance, to figure out who is really murdering all the supernaturals. I loved Memnon in this story, we get to see a lot more of him kicking ass and taking names, but we also get to see more of his loving side as well. Nero is still his adorable self 🥰 Selene definitely comes into herself in this book as well, I really enjoyed watching her grow and come to terms with things; she is a bad ass herself. I can’t wait to see what book 3 will bring for them!

I loved this book soooo much!! 🥰🥰 I think Selene has come into her own in this novel, I love how she sticks up for herself. Although, she’s stubborn! But I really enjoyed her character growth in this one.

Memnon…how do I put into words how I feel about this man? I’d put myself into his hands to protect and care for any day of the week. He’s humbled some in this book but still incredibly in charge.

I am having bad book withdrawal after this story. This love story is the stuff of dreams, eternal, endless, full of power and promise. It’s everything! I can’t recommend this series enough and I really can’t wait to read more about these characters.

Wow, I didn’t realize I had strapped myself in for an emotional roller coaster! The highs were soaring, and the lows made my stomach drop, I have whiplash in the best way.
I loved seeing more of Selene’s bold personality coming to the forefront and loved all the fiery Memnon moments. Absolutely adore their banter!
This book was an excellent follow up to Bewitched, highly recommend!

DNF @ 10%

I wanted to see if I could give this book a shot and finish it but unfortunately I think the hero is too possessive for me to get into the story and support the romance. The rest of the story is fascinating but since the romance isn't working for me and it's such a central part of the story, I think putting down this book is the right call. I hope other fated mates/alpha hero lovers fall in love with this book because I'm sure the things that made it not work for me will be what make you fall in love with the series.

I was lucky enough to get an arc of this book through netgalley!! Yall need to preorder this book asap!!!! Sooo soo good!! No spoilers or anything but I fell more in love with Memnon and was on the edge of my seat the entire book!! Selene is a QUEEN!!!! I cannot wait for more!
There was so much action, suspense, blood, magic and romance. Getting to see Selene dealing with remembering her past life while living her current life was so interesting. Then seeing Memnon's reaction to finding out what really happened....ugh. It was so good. I honestly cannot put into words how much I loved this book. The magic in it is so unlike anything I have read before and I am completely obsessed with this series!

This was such a strong follow-up to the first book in the series. The stakes felt greater, the adventure, romance, and lore were interesting and kept me flying through this book. This book continues from the events in the last book and we get a lot of answers, history and learn more about Memnon and Selene's past and what led them to where they were in the first book. There was a lot of magic, spells, and steam and it made for a fast paced, adventure-filled book. I loved the fmc Selene's growth and development and how morally grey and badass the characters were. If you need more romantasy with witches, sorcerer spice, and morally grey characters this should be on your tbr! Thank you Bloombooks for this arc!

Holy marbles, holy marbles. I read this in one sitting. I loved it.

We get so much into Memnon's feelings for Selene but we also get what I've been waiting for, the events that lead to Memnon being alseep for 2 thousand years from Roxis Point of view. He made her out to be the villain but she only loved him and did what she did for his survival.

Secrets are uncovered, limbs are torn, magic is exploding and love is growing. It's a story you won't be able to put down, a story that will have you wishing for the next book.

Bespelled picks up right where Bewitched left off. A lot of answers I wanted from the first book I ended up getting in this book. I loved seeing Selene’s development in this. I can’t wait for the next book!!

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for the arc of this book.

I loved this book sm i thought that i wouldn’t but OMG PLEASEEEE READ THIS and can’t wait to read the next book AHHHH i love this series

Me: I said I want morally grey!!
Laura Thalassa: Hold my beer.

The author gets it. You want a morally grey character? Do yourself a favor and pick up this series. This is what morally grey means. It doesn't mean only villainous to the bad guys. It doesn't mean snarky. It means they will do whatever it takes to make sure their ambitions are met.
Bespelled picks up right where bewitched left off. Its everything and more.

A badass witch truly coming into her power - yes.
A worshipping down on bended knee sorcerer - heck yes.
Naughty in more ways than one - oh hell yes.

Oh and this was hella spicy too. Sign me up.

Thanks to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for the ARC.

Loved this book!

Rating - 4.5/5 🌟 *rounded up for Netgalley
Spice - 🌶🌶🌶

I was so lucky to be able to receive an ARC from Netgalley, and I'm so happy I did!

This book had me up until 2 am to finish it! I'm absolutely obsessed with Memnon. He has a literal chokehold on me!

This book was so well written and just a fun read! I love the back history that we receive! The spice was so so good 🫠

Need book three now!!

Bewitched was a sensation start to a brand new series by Laura Thalassa, and she has done it again with this second instalment which starts where bewitched left off.

Selene has gotten her memories back and is starting to understand her past relationship with her soulmate memnon. I know how terrifying it is trying to come to terms with 2 different versions of yourself, the past and the present which is why Selene really struggled with deciding what to do with Memnon and at times this did frustrate me because I just wanted her to pick him 😭 especially because memnon’s grovelling was just top tier utter perfection! He did everything he could to learn about selene, and took care of her.

The heat in this book was off the charts, memnon just gets hotter and hotter 🤭

As for the plot, witches are disappearing and with selene in the middle she works hard to find out who is behind the missing witches, which gave her character so much more depth and strength as she battled not just her own problems but bigger issues outside of her self showing how selfless she is.

This was my most anticipated book of this year and Laura has delivered the perfect witchy, mystery romantsy vibes and I’m waiting on the edge of my seat for the next instalment.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Bloom Books and Laura Thalassa, for my arc in exchange for an honest review 🩷

Bespelled was just as addicting as Bewitched to me. This was the perfect blend of mystery, spice and fantasy that I am looking for in a book. The pacing was really good. I found myself reading this book at every opportunity that I had. It never really lagged for me. I love the fated mates trope and my absolute favorite scenes were the flashbacks to their first life. The book ended on a cliffhanger, so I’m really hoping that Selene and Memnon stay on the same page as far as their relationship goes. I can’t wait for the conclusion in the next book. Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom books for the chance to read and review.
