Cooking magic! Scottish ghosts! A man who collects trinkets like a magpie! This novella follows an actor attempting to break out of the mold, and a down on her luck craft services chef on the set of a film in New Zealand. I just would have loved to see a wee bit more of them as a couple on page, but overall this was just such a ridiculously cute, witchy and cozy read.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This was the perfect book to have gotten me out of my reading slump. It was cute, short, and funny.

I really enjoyed Kinston and Amalia as characters. I do wish we got to see a bit more of their dynamic on set instead of just little glances. Like little touches and actual interactions. All just to build up their chemistry a little more. Other than that, I loved the plot, the characters (primary and secondary), the magic. I definitely plan on reading the rest of this series as it comes out.

Thank you to NetGalley and 8th Note Press for providing me an ARC copy of the book for my honest opinion.

Magical reading fun to the very end. Light and delightful, kinda magic, kinda cute, kinda romantic, and totally quirky, in the best way. A quick read, great for any time and low spice so good for a wide age range.

This is the second book in the Movie Magic series, but can be read as a standalone. I had not read the first book prior to this one.

Savory & Supernatural is a short and sweet novella that follows Amalia, a witch who is working in a food truck on a film set and Kingston, a quirky, but haunted actor.
I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a spooky, lighthearted romcom.

Thank you to Netgalley and and 8th Note Press for the eARC.

These little romance/fantasy novellas where Hollywood meets New Zealand are very cute, fun, fast reads. The stories and the characters in Savory & Supernatural (and in the preceding Bespoke & Bespelled) are very satisfying—though with the food this one focuses on, you may be left hungry!

Such a cute little paranormal love story set in New Zealand on a movie set! It's a fun and quick read!

Another super quick witchy novella! I read this super quickly and loved this story as much as I loved Marnie and Riders story. This story follows a food witch & someone who can see ghosts and an actor. The descriptions of food, the magic descriptions, everything in this book was magical and immersive and I was grasping for more every time. The only thing I really wish we would’ve seen was more of them as a couple, we truthfully didn’t get to see a lot of that which sucked because I loved their dynamic so much. The cutest part of this book was when he first tried her food, I melted a bit when he loved it so much.
I’m hoping there is more in this world because I love all the characters so much. Thank you to Netgalley and 8th Note Press for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Savory and Supernatural is a romance novella that follows an actor and a chef who happens to have magic as well. We follow them as Amalia tries to help Kingston get rid of a ghost, however, he doesn’t know about this ghost and thinks he’s just trying to date Amalia.

I thought this was a cute book! It’s short so it is a quick read. I loved the paranormal stuff throughout. It also had some humor and I loved all the characters. I haven’t read the other one in this series but I probably will at some point. I loved the New Zealand setting and all the descriptions.

My only complaint is that it seemed too short for me. I wish we got a little more chemistry build up between the two people. I also would’ve liked more dates or an epilogue or something to see where they end up.

I would recommend this to people looking for a short romance! Thanks so much to netgalley and 8th note press for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

2.5 ⭐️

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for the chance to read this as an ARC. Here is my honest review:

This wasn’t a bad book, just IMO some parts were boring & I didn’t feel connected to the Main Characters. It was a lot to pack into only 138 pages.

I did enjoy what the story was about :

a chef that’s a witch (FMC) has to help get back a spoon that belongs to a ghost from an actor (MMC) that on the set she’s cooking for. They go out on dates as while shes also trying to get into his place to find the spoon.

I ATE THIS BOOK UP. literally read it in one sitting and it was delicious.

i loved both characters separately and together they were cute, i just wish we saw more of their dynamic together. we got two dates from them and they'd only known each other for a week, so i think a lot of their arch, as a couple, was rushed. but even with the timing issues i had with the book, i still thoroughly enjoyed it and would 100% recommend this as a quick and fun read to everyone!
it brought the witchy vibes, the spooky vibes and everything i love about a cute lil romcom.

4.5 stars
This is a fun, entertaining, quirky, quick read. Kingston and Amalia are interesting, relatable, intriguing, entertaining, fun, complex characters. I enjoyed these characters and the paranormal aspects of the story. The path to their HEA is full of twists and turns and entertaining to read. There are many aspects of this story that I absolutely love – I can’t wait to read more from this series. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A cute read! I’ve read another by this author through NetGalley. Some of the names were weird. I do enjoy a witch who has powers with food! Such an easy and quick read.

This was cute! Short, sweet, and magical! Because it was a novella, the pacing was quick and there were no lags in the story. It’s part of a series but easily read as a standalone. Grateful for the ARC!

This is a cute little supernatural love story. It is short and sweet and there are plenty of ghostly hijinks to keep you entertained. I loved all the food descriptions and the magic that goes along with it.

Thank you NetGalley, 8th Note Press and Karen Healey for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC!

This is a quick novella about a a chef who hits a bump in her career and an actor who is trying to find his breaking role. The chef also happens to be a witch with a gift of clairvoyance and our actor is being haunted but doesn’t believe in the supernatural. Will the Amalia make Kingston a believer? How will their relationship turn out?

Read and find out!
