Firstly, thank you so much for letting me read impractical magic early.
This cosy autum book was perfect, had that cosy feeling of Gilmore Girls with Hocus Pocus
We follow Scarlett battle the love for her family, and riddled in guilt from losing her father. But her town needs her and the rest of the witches to find out why the magic has stopped working.
I loved this book! I hope I read more from the Melrose sisters in the future

This was definitely a slow burner, but a great change of pace between heavy, lore-ridden fantasy sagas!
I loved the idea of the witchy town and its cosy characters and autumnal setting. Nate and Scarlett were fun to read and I loved following their development. Overall, I wish ithad perhaps fleshed out the magic problems a little more, but it was a fun and cosy read.

Impractical magic se centra en las dinámicas familiares, el luto, el perdón, la amistad y el amor.




Scarlett es una bruja que abandonó que Oak Haven a causa de la muerte de su padre, una década después su hermana mayor le pide que regrese porque necesitan su ayuda. OH se está infectado por algo malo y la magia se está saliendo de control, como ella junto a sus hermanas, Luna y Delilah son descendientes directos de los fundadores tienen el deber de salvar a su pueblo.





Mi problema fue con el estilo de la escritura, fue muy caótica para mi gusto.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This novel is so much more than just about magic and romance; it’s about embracing responsibility and facing the past to find true happiness. The slow-burn romance and the grumpy x sunshine dynamic between Scarlett and Nate were beautifully done, making this story a delightful escape into a world where love and magic are inextricably linked. It left me with a warm, satisfied feeling, knowing that sometimes, the greatest spells are those that heal the heart.

Fun Fun Fun!
Cozy. Whimsical. Very much Gilmore Girls and the Good Witch. Mystery. Magic. Family. Great characters.
Read when the night cools down, wrap yourself up in a soft blanket, and sip on some hot cider!
4/5 stars!

Cosy mystery strikes again with this cute, magical tale. Scarlett returns home after a ten year hiatus only to find the town in disarray! I really enjoyed the bickering between the sisters and I thought Nate sounded great. I absolutely thought Kelly was a bitch and it wasn’t until writing this review I saw her for being the “Emily” of the story. The book wasn’t about solving the mystery in the end. It was about family dynamics. The description is correct in saying if you love Gilmore girls and Charmed you will love this.
Thank you NetGalley for giving me this book to read and review!

A Fun Autumn Read

Scarlett returns to the magical autumn cosiness of her hometown of Oak Haven - but not because she particularly wants to. Magic is going crazy and threatening the town's existence. And then there's Nate, her childhood crush..

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's quirky, very atmospheric and filled with complex and fun characters. The descriptions of the magical town are amazing and the story very well plotted and complex. The only downside to my reading experience were the frequent pop culture references. Those are not really my thing, so they distracted me a little.
But Emily Grimoire nails the quirky writing style and her protagonist and her sisters have an incredible dynamic.

If you love cosy fall reads, magic, mischief and frenemies to lovers, this one's for you!

10 years ago Scarlet Melrose leaves the magical town of Oak Haven after a tragic accident. Now she has returned, can she let go of the guilt of the past and save the town she called home?

This was a cosy read, ideal for the autumnal/fall months. The second chance will they won't they romance that runs through the story with Scarlets childhood friend Nate is well paced. However, the main plot is the mystery behind the towns magical mayhem that is causing problems, and how can Scarlet and her two sisters help fix it. The characters are established well enough, with scope to grow them further and the Melrose family dynamic is one that I'm sure many reader will resonate with.

The story ends well, but several plot points leave the book open for a sequel, maybe even two. A possibility that i find very intriguing.

I have rated this 4 ⭐, it was closer to a 3.5⭐ but i can only give a whole star and it was worth more than 3.

This was a perfect cosy read and would be perfect for autumn months! It really gave that autumn magic vibes and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I will definitely be looking at buying the physical copy of this as it was really enjoyable!

What an absolutely adorable book! With rumors of a Practical Magic sequel on the way all these years later this novel is a perfect anecdote to help tide readers over! Spooky season is almost upon us so it was so much fun to read this novel and enjoy the vibes it has to offer! I couldn’t wait to see if our MC is able to get things in order before trouble over spills and also enjoyed her cute handyman interest helping her along the way! Absolutely adorable
