I did not finish this book, I tried but it wasn’t for me. Thank you for the opportunity to read and check it out. I would consider reading more by this author in the future.

Magic in the Air was pure magic! Filled with found family and a charming town what else could you want? This book wasn’t all fairytales though our spunky main character is a single mom who works her buns off!

Magic in the Air had spot on small-town, witchy vibes with fantastic representation of cerebral palsy. However, Draven was a huge letdown. His character was more frustrating than charming, and his actions were hard to redeem. The pacing was off, with insta-love that didn’t feel earned, and the spicy scenes were jarring, lacking any build-up. The town’s magical charm kept me hooked, but I couldn’t connect with the romance. Overall, a mixed experience—it was good, but not great.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this ARC. Thank you to the publisher as well.

This book is about Olivia who lives in a town that is protected by magic. Her and the whole town has magic. She has a bakery and can add magic into her baked goods. She also has Cerebral Palsy and a son. She came to this town after her partner left her because she had magic.

Then you have Draven. He comes to this town because his mom died and she is from here. He decides it's the town's fault that his family got split up. He tries to get close to Olivia to find ways to expose the town and write about it.

I have many thoughts about this book. So I liked it till about 70%. I found him irritating and sort of like a bitter whining child. He got her to let him in just to betray her. He would get mad at her for keeping secrets when he was doing way worse. I did not like him at all. I know that the author gave him redemption but I have to say I don't know if I would ever forgive a man who did that to me. The way she let him in and the way he treated her. I could never.

That being said I did love the disability rep and the magic system. The uniqueness of the magic system is what kept me reading this book.

While I didn't hate this book I felt the plot was underdeveloped and lacking in substance. I'm never a fan of insta love. It's unbelievable and only belongs in a Disney film.

This book had potential sadly it did not live up to expectations.
I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review

I loved this book so much. I loved that the fmc had a disability because they typically aren’t talked about in books. I loved the whole magic aspect of it too! Draven though at first, I wanted to punch him 😂 the fact that he learned the truth and was still going to burn the book made me so mad. I think Liv should have made him work a little harder for forgiveness but regardless, their love story was adorable. Definitely a cute fall read!

There's potential, fun, but I would have like some more world building. I think the author will surely delivers entertaining story but this one is not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This was such a cozy and cute read. I finished it in about a day. Olivia is a strong, independent single mom and witch, is doing her best to balance life, motherhood, and magic in the small, secret town of Addersfield. Enter Draven James, the mysterious and handsome newcomer who stirs up all kinds of emotions and magic around her. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but of course, there are secrets lurking beneath the surface.

The setting is perfect—a small-town vibe mixed with a touch of magical realism that makes the story feel like a warm hug. Olivia's strength and growth as a character were so relatable, and the romantic tension with Draven had me hooked! The book had a nice balance of heartwarming moments and spice, plus a wonderful supporting cast that adds to the charm. I actually found the single mom aspect to be enjoyable, a lot of romances rarely include single moms.

If you're looking for a cozy, magical romcom with a strong heroine, a bit of mystery, and plenty of charm, this one’s definitely worth picking up!

3.5 ⭐️ this was a fun read. Romance and steam and witchy fun. Perfect for spooky season. Got a little education into Cerebral Palsy and Mexican heritage; the heritage seemed a little over kill. Yes, Olivia likes horchata, it was mentioned soooo much. Draven and Olivia's relationship was super quick and pretty steamy. Him coming to this secret town that no one... but witches know of to search for his mother's past. I feel there may be more to this town and series and hopefully there are more tenants in this town as we only met about 8 characters. Overall, an enjoyable story

This didn’t quite hit the mark for me, but I can see it appealing to others who enjoy small-town magical romances. The disability rep felt authentic and well-integrated into the story. The romance had its moments, but the chemistry wasn’t as strong as I’d hoped. Still, the magical bakery setting and enchanting town added charm.

*Magic in the Air* by Adrianna Schuh is a cozy fall romance with a mix of witchy vibes and spice. The story centers on Olivia, a single mom and baker living in a magical small town, Addersfield. Olivia is also a witch, navigating life with cerebral palsy while raising her son. Things get complicated when Draven, a mysterious journalist, arrives in town. He’s charming but clearly hiding something, and Olivia can’t quite trust him at first, though their connection quickly deepens.

The book does a good job blending magic, romance, and some humor. Olivia’s relationships with her friends and her son stand out, giving the book a fun, cozy feel, while the sparks between her and Draven add a steamy element. However, Draven’s motivations—seeking revenge on the town’s magic—can make the romance feel a bit forced at times, especially considering how fast their relationship escalates.

Overall, *Magic in the Air* is a light, enjoyable read perfect for fall. The town’s magical atmosphere and Olivia’s journey navigating love, disability, and motherhood make for a charming story. While the spice is a bit intense for the overall plot, the book still delivers on the cozy, witchy vibes it promises.

Halloween is not my favorite holiday but this was a fun read. Super cute without too much emphasis on the magic.

This was a quick, cozy fall read, but really did not have much depth to it. the MMC was insufferable and a lot of the dialogue was really cheesy. Had a hard time capturing my interest long enough.

I couldn’t finish this one. DNF at 63%.
It seemed like the books was written for the sex scenes and the plot was added in after that. I just couldn’t finish.

Magic in the Air was an easy and fast read. I enjoyed the magical elements within the story! Also the spice was very nice!

Overall I didn’t love that the main characters were ‘using’ each other at times. That is a personal pet peeve of mine in books and I found that aspect for me to make the book not as enjoyable.

Thank you so much to @authorschuh & @netgally for this advanced copy of this book
This was such a cute and cozy paranormal romance with a bit of spice. It’s the perfect book for spooky season, It gave me once upon a time vibes with how the town was protected by magic, I really liked that whole concept. This was an enjoyable read.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spicy level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5


“Magic in the air” by Adrianna Schuh is a bewitching fall themed spicy romance about Olivia Ayala, Single Mom and Baker that also happens to be a very powerful witch, and Draven James, a journalist who appears mysteriously in her small town hidden by magic.

Draven James is swoon worthy and I think he has great chemistry with Olivia. He might be a bit of a dick in the beginning but isn’t everyone? (Lol)

Filled with witty banter and knock your socks off spice I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a fun lighthearted fall read! This also has a FMC with a disability which is few and far between in this genre and I really enjoyed the representation!

I recommend this book if you enjoy witchy small town romance vibes with solid spiciness.

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.

REVIEW
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼🧙🏻‍♀️
THINGS I LIKED
1. The FMC, Olivia. She has cerebral palsy and still managed to be an amazing mother and a business owner. I admired her
2. The small town of Addersfield and its occupants
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
1. The MMC Draven, the guy, was a huge red flag running around. I disliked him from the beginning to the end. He was a bad son and a brother and decided that attacking other people's magic would erase his guilt and failings. He had no character development. I hated that with all these thoughts, he still talked about how he 'loved' Olivia.
2. I felt like Olivia had forgiven him too easily. There's no way a man would do that to me, and I would still stay with him
3. Draven.
🧙🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼
As you can see, I didn't really like this book.

This was such a perfect cost fall romance! I loved the witchy themes. The characters had great chemistry, and I especially loved their witty banter!
