This book was just beautiful. It was a hug and kiss. It was exactly what I needed to heal, look at life in a new way, and have a wonderful time reading. Just like in the Irregular Secret Society of Witches the characters, setting, and found family were magical. I will be reading when ever I need to find that love again and get cozy.

Thanks for the advanced copy! I really enjoyed the first book and enjoyed this one just as much! The writing style is really smooth and easy to read, I love it! Would recommend to those who love found family and a good romance as well! Looking forward to other future novels by this author!

I was on my way to loving this even more than The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. I loved Sera. I loved the little family she had created. I loved Luke and Posey. I loved the slowburn romance, the plot and its stakes.

And then that ending happened. While I won't give away the big moment that really dropped that star, I will say that it really disappointed me.

4.5*

this was such a cute, heartwarming read! i absolutely adored the characters and how they became one big found family in the end. this was just the book i needed!!

It’s official, I will read any cozy fantasy Sangu Mandanna pens. It’s my favorite genre, and Mandanna seems particularly adept at delivering!

This book was lovely and cozy and now I need to move to the English countryside and start an inn. The book had just enough tension to move the story along while still maintaining a cozy feeling. I enjoyed it just as much as The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and I loved that book!

The love story was a nice “grumpy x sunshine-grumpy” mix, but I enjoyed the secondary love story even more! The descriptions of the inn were delightful as well as all of the side characters!

I will absolutely be recommending this to anyone who enjoys cozy fantasy.

after having to wait a YEAR for mandanna’s next release, this was well worth it!!! she absolutely ate once more with the coziest witchy vibes, found family, and a slow burn romance that pulled on my heartstrings 💞 i love her writing, there is something so lush about it and i have so many quotes that changed me as a human. love love LOVE

This was the second Sangu Mandanna book I've read this month, and between the two of them, she has been absolutely solidified as one of my favourite authors. This was just so so good and well worth the wait. I really loved all these characters and their relationships with each other and just the wonderful found family.

This was an absolutely magical, sweet and lovely story! I loved the themes Mandanna brought to this story and the growth of the characters and the lovely found family aspects of this story!

5 amazing stars - thank you for the early copy for review!

So hopeful and cozy! There is more humor than I expected but also a lot of adventure and love. I am not usually a cozy anything reader but I could read this all day every day

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping is so whimsical and full of charm! Once a powerful witch now stuck running an enchanted inn with her resurrected great aunt, a mischievous talking fox, and a handful of eccentric guests, Sera Swan is grumpy and a little lost. Luke Larsen, an emotionally walled off magical historian who somehow ends up entangled in her quest to restore her powers. Their banter was top tier, and their chemistry was slow, simmering, and so satisfying! This book is part mystery and part romance. If you enjoy stories with cozy vibes, quirky humor, and a touch of magic, you’ll love this book!

In the midst of this chaotic, often “shitty” world, A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping came as a true balm for my soul. Sangu Mandanna has woven the perfect tapestry of cozy inn vibes and found family magic that healed me in ways I never expected.

The story follows Sera Swan, once one of Britain’s mightiest witches, who finds herself stripped of her powers after resurrecting her great-aunt Jasmine, making a deal with a semi-villainous talking fox, and facing exile from her magical Guild. Now, reluctantly—and with just a touch of grumpiness—Sera is tasked with running a ramshackle inn in Lancashire. Amid quirky guests and enchanting shenanigans, she dreams of reclaiming her lost magic and a future brimming with possibilities.

The twist arrives when Sera discovers an old spellbook that might hold the secret to restoring her powers. Enter Luke Larsen, a gorgeous historian with his own mysterious reasons for staying at the inn. Initially resistant to breaking his icy reserve, Luke finds himself drawn into the madcap world of innkeeping and, more importantly, into thawing his heart. Their chemistry is as magical as the spells themselves, adding a romance that warms the pages.

What I adore most is how Mandanna effortlessly combines humor, heartfelt emotion, and a dash of magical mayhem. The tetchy yet big-hearted heroine, the quirky cast, and the enchanting setting all come together to create a narrative that made me laugh, sigh with contentment, and even shed a tear at a moment of pure, emotional catharsis. This isn’t just a story about regaining lost power—it’s about discovering that the best magic lies in the community we build and the unexpected bonds we form.

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping isn’t just a book; it’s a much-needed escape into a world where every setback leads to an opportunity for love, laughter, and a little bit of magic. I can’t wait to re-read this enchanting novel over and over again!

This book is a delight as well as emotionally stirring for me. The story of a woman, mislead and almost entirely abandoned in girlhood, rising up to set some of the world to rights and becomes the safe haven she had needed as a child feels as if it were dedicated to the all the children who are “different” and those who find themselves healing in adulthood. The lovely madcap found family at its core is refreshing. The long awaited book is very satisfying.

Utterly cozy, delightfully whimsical, and brimming with warmth, this book is pure magic. Their slow-burn romance crackles with tension and charm, each interaction pulling them closer despite their best efforts. The writing is lush and enchanting, filled with humor, heart, and just the right amount of mischief. It sneaks up on you like a well-cast spell, it is simply irresistible.
