A witch specialising in tarot readings, a hot soulmate, meddling sisters, an evil witch out for revenge, The Hedge Witch has it all and then some more.
As I really enjoy witchy books I jumped straight into it and just couldn't put it down. Colleen Delaney created a vivid and fascinating story that is sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys books filled with magic and romance but with some spice and grit thrown into the mix.
Laurel and Owen's story seems to be an introduction to more books featuring the Bay sisters and I'm hoping to read more from Colleen Delaney soon.
Overall, The Hedge Witch is a very enjoyable read and I'm happy to recommend it.

Ooooo I wanna be a cozy modern witch with a certified soulmate so bad. Some of the third act tension felt a little silly,but they often do with romances. Real life ones too. I’m so curious about this world, I’d definitely continue the series. :)

Happy Book Release Day To Colleen Delaney
As a genuine admirer of books infused with magic and fantasy, this delightful tale captivated my imagination from start to finish.

The premise of this book follows one of five witchy sisters. Laurel Bay, a tarot-reading witch living with her sisters on Star Island. She craves for a past love and unwittingly attracts the attention of a vengeful witch. She has a unique ability to access the Hedge World, a realm few witches can reach.
Owen Davies is a young man with minimal magical abilities, longing to find his soulmate. He crosses paths with Laurel, and their destinies become intertwined. Together, they confront challenges from other witches and unearth secrets from their past lives. Owen is depicted as determined and persistent, committed to standing by Laurel's side despite the obstacles they face.

The author's vivid descriptions of landscapes create a captivating experience, making you feel like you're truly there transporting me away to a realm teeming with mystical creatures and wonders. With a clear and straightforward writing style, the narrative flows smoothly, ensuring it's effortless to follow along with the story. We can see how effortlessly the author blends elements of folklore and mysticism, offering readers a glimpse into the ancient traditions of herbal magic, divination, and spellcraft. This is a dual POV we see through the eyes of the FMC and MMC, we are shown a world where the mundane and the magical coexist in perfect harmony.
As the MMC embarks on her quest for knowledge and self-discovery, we witness her growth and transformation, rooting for her every step of the way.
It's a tale that reminds us of the magic that we possess within us all, waiting to be awakened by the call of destiny.

I wished that Laurel and Owen's journey to find their soulmates had unfolded more gradually, as it felt too quick and effortless. A slower pace would have allowed for a deeper exploration of their characters and their connection, making their eventual union feel more earned and meaningful.


Thank you to Netgalley the Publisher, of City Owl Press, and the author Colleen Delaney for providing and allowing me to review this book. Which, I'm giving my honest and sincere review.

I adored this book; it’s a great witchy romance! Really quick read that hooked me from the beginning. I enjoyed the dynamics between the sisters and loved Laurel and Owen. Overall it is quite cosy, but does have darker elements in their past life. It felt like the author could have gone further with the story, but hoping we will learn more about the characters as the series progresses.

Can’t wait to read more about the Bay sisters!
