This book delivers an engaging mix of mystery, magic, and romance. Tina, a witch and a cop, thought balancing both worlds would be easy—until a coven mentor goes missing. As she investigates, navigating both the supernatural and human realms, she and her love, Nikolette, grow even closer. It’s refreshing to see an already established couple working together as secrets and truths unfold. With witches, covens, and tea leaf readings woven into the mystery, this story pulls you in and keeps you hooked. A fantastic read!

Tina is a witch but also a cop she thought being both could be easy but when a mentor of coven goes missing she has her work cut out for her as she navigate not only the supernatural world but the human world as she and her love Nikolette grow more closer I like that they are already established and we get to see them work together as secrets and truths are revealed. I enjoy this read the characters were likable and the mystery was good.


I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

An enjoyable fantasy which is quite interesting. Both main characters are strong and have amzing chemistry. I recommend

Thank you Bold Strokes Books and NetGalley.

Could Recommend - A very readable and interesting read. Enjoyable for the right audience.

Paranormal. FF romance sub-plot, spice.

Key Points:
What a Wonderful World
I’m fuzzy on what defines something as paranormal, so hopefully I’ve got this right. But this is set in (what I assume) is some part of England where supernatural creatures somewhat co-exist alongside humans. Although it certainly isn’t perfect or idyllic, it’s reasonably functional and refreshing to see.

I enjoy this kind of setting, probably slightly more than I do the whole “we exist in secret” thing, and this was no exception. Human relations with the rest is clearly something that’s still being felt out, and those undertones are intriguing.

I’m In the Middle of Something
We have a romantic relationship! And they’re already involved!

Maybe it’s just my choice of reading but I feel like it’s so rare to see a relationship already in progress involving the main character. Although Tina’s relationship with Nikolette seems reasonably new, they’re definitely hot and heavy and I kind of liked that? It was good to see what happens after you find each other, and the resulting complications that can ensue. I wish I saw it more in books.

Am I Missing Something?
From the research that I did, this book was set in the same world as some existing stories that Young has previously written. It can, however, supposedly be read as a stand-alone as there were no outright series ties mentioned anywhere that I could find.

Although it wasn’t an outright obstruction to the events of the story, that connection was slightly distracting. I had this constant vague sense that there were elements I was missing, plot points that would make more sense if I read her other works. It detracted from my experience, somewhat, but the story itself was still enjoyable.

Can I Be More Obvious?
The one small hair in the meal, as it were, was the reveal. It felt to me as though the introduction, description, and characterisation of certain individuals made it quite apparent who was behind the disappearance of her mentor. It’s possible that I’ve just read too many of these. And certainly, I still wanted to find out the reasons behind it. But it did rather spoil the surprise, and therefore diminish the impact of said reveal when it occurred.

In summary, an easy and enjoyable read. Something I would recommend who enjoy the odd urban fantasy, just without the city as a character.

Witches, covens and reading tea leaves are part of Tina’s story. What happens when witch goes missing?
Truths and secrets are going to come out. Will the witches be safe?

Fantasy isn’t my usual read but I do enjoy stories about witches, spells, seeing things that others don’t and this story did not disappoint.
