Great book! A story about ancient curses that still exist today and a witch trying to break them so she can find love with a person with free will can love her back or she’ll die at the age of 30. The characters were well written and the story was captivating.

This novel is a true delight. From the moment I began reading this book until the final page, I was captivated by the story. It was really well written and I look forward to seeing what’s next from this author.

A special thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

This book was so good! I genuinely couldn’t get enough of it!
The pace picked up so quickly!
So much happened in one book I feel like it would have been a great duology but is still a great stand alone!

HOLY SMOKES!
It's giving "Masters of Death" by Olivie Blake and fantastic, century-old love curse!

So the beginning was a lot to get the book off the ground and was heavy to read, but then the trials, the twists, THE ENDING- THAT LAST SENTENCE?!

Like WHAT JUST HAPPEN!? Blew my mind wide open! Perfect rain/fall moody reading week we had

Definitely going to be a story that haunts me and will be re-read like certain journals from the novel 😉

Doreen wants real, honest-to-goodness, true love and is willing to die for it. Literally. She & her cousin, Margot are the 13th generation & meant to be the strongest witches yet. Doreen goes on a heroes quest and discovers the truth of love. Whether it's philia, storge, or eros, love has the power to either lift or destroy. Through the mists and quests, Doreen discovers so much about her power, her family, and the history of the three clans.

The beginning was a lot at once trying to build up the world and lay the stones of history. After the first quarter, the book found its footing, and the world grew on a melody. I can't wait to have a physical copy! Oh? That ending- the last sentence- you'll just have to wait and see!!!

what a lovely and whimsical read. I personally love books like this. The characters were enchanting and lovely and the romance made me swoon. and was intrigued with the curses in this book. Loved every bit of this witchy story.

A Circle of Uncommon Witches by Paige Crutcher is a captivating tale of adventure, romance, and destiny that delves into the question of whether true love is worth the sacrifices made. The prose is exquisite, painting a vivid and enchanting picture that evokes the feeling of being lost in a dark fairytale. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it to be a compelling read. I wished it were a bit longer to avoid the rushed ending and allow for clearer explanations of certain elements. Crutcher's storytelling is mesmerizing and left me wanting more.

The Circle of Uncommon Witches is pure magic. Paige Crutcher’s writing pulls you in with its lush, atmospheric style, making every page feel like you’re walking through a misty, enchanted forest. The emotional depth is breathtaking; Doreen’s loneliness is palpable, and Ambrose’s simmering vengeance adds layers of complexity to the romance. The backdrop is stunningly crafted, from Scottish castles to mystical realms, creating a world that feels both real and otherworldly. This is the kind of book that grips you with its heart and refuses to let go. Absolutely mesmerising!

I love anything witch related and this was no different! This was such a great read - you have witches and friendship and romance and just the perfect cozy fall read. Will be adding to our library 100%!

I love stories about breaking family curses! The quests and adventure--the magic! It's all the perfect escape and pefect ingredients for an epic supernatural or paranormal fantasy and "A Circle of Uncommon Witches" hit the target exactly on the mark!

Thanks to Netgalley an St Martin’s Press for the ARC. This was 5 stars and I can’t wait to read it all over again when it comes out! This was amazing & was a horror- thriller witchy vibe had me on my toes wondering what was going to happen next.

This was such a good book to start my fall reading!! Witches, curses, clans, mystery, and a little romance!! I absolutely loved it!! It took a couple of chapters for me to really get into it, but it picked up really quickly!! Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for my digital ARC!!!

This book was amazing! The story was very well written and the plot was very well thought out! I would highly recommend this book!

I fell into this story and was spellbound. Doreen has an epic challenge to face set in place by her twisted family. While her family is powerful they are bound by Secrets. You are literally transported to another world and the creativity is off the charts. Hang on tight for a wild ride through each separate nightmarish challenge.

Witches? Check. Family trauma? Check. Slow burn romance? Check. Trials? Check, check, check.

Ok, I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did. It had the perfect blend of witches, curses, mystery, family issues, deadly trials and finding love against all odds. Doreen is a stubborn, strong willed witch who is hell-bent on creating her own path, rather than follow the one every witch in her family before her has been cursed to follow. When she teams up with an incredibly unlikely (and broody) Ambrose, they cannot stand each other but need each other in different ways to accomplish what they’ve each set out to. I won’t give anything further away, but this was the perfect witchy, spooky season read.

A huge fan of what I like to call the practical magic trope (though not really a trope). It was so fun to read!

Magical adventure that pulls all the stops! Action and layer upon layer of secrets keep things moving at a fast and tense pace, with many nail biting moments. A must read for paranormal fans!

I devoured this book. I LOVE a witchy book and couldn't help but want to read this immediately after I read the blurb. It was everything I could've wanted this fall time of year. It kicked off my holiday fall reading perfectly. If you are looking for a witchy book to get you in the spirit I highly suggest you giev this a try. The perfect amount of witchyness.

A centuries old curse has ,Doreen, a 13th generation witch determined to break it so she can marry for love.
She must locate the imprisoned witch, free him and follow the tasks. All of this without the support of her beloved aunts.
Loved the family interaction , the creativity of the tasks and of course the romance!

*No Spoilers* This book can be read year-round but especially during autumn. There was a lot that happens within this story and I would consider it more of a slower/steady pace that really picks up towards the end. I liked the complexity brought to the characters and although the romantic relationship is usually the focus, this book also had a sisterhood bond too that will make you love certain characters even more. I enjoyed the writing and the uniqueness of the magical aspects. I especially love slow burns and enemies-to-lovers which this book delivers on.

Thank you NetGalley and St Martin’s Griffin New York for this opportunity! I enjoyed this eARC.

Paige Crutcher is a great writer of witch stories! This book really reminds me of practical magic. It also was a very quick read. If you love witchy books and practical magic, this book is for you.

Definitely had some fun reading it and the magic was interesting. Seeing Scotland in a new magical way and in an astral type plane was fascinating. The characters grew on me the more I read so overall a nice witchy read that has a nice twist on enemies to lovers and second chance romance!

At its heart, this book is an intricately detailed fantasy land, rich with world building and ripe with creative descriptions. It was a slower paced book, but with the world that lay within, it was easy to get sucked in to each and every little thing about it.

Crutcher details a hesitant romance with the would-be enemy, that flourishes little by little over the course of the book. The trials were reminiscent of Aiden Thomas' Sunbearer Trials series, and made for an interesting addition to the plot. I do so love fantasy books, especially ones set in Scotland, deeply entrenched in their own lore.

This was a really fun witchy rom-com! I enjoyed the aspects of figuring out the curse, and also the characters figuring themselves out! Definitely a great spooky season read!

A Circle of Uncommon Witches by Paige Crutcher is the story of Doreen MacKennon and her family line that has been cursed never to fall in love. The curse was set in place by Ambrose MacDonald, a witch from a rival clan, and Doreen releases him from centuries of torment to help break the curse on her family.

This book is full of twists, turns, secrets, magic, longing, and what-ifs.. and I loved it! Action packed and full of excitement, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough time to wrap everything up, but there was and it was done beautifully. Once I started reading this I couldn’t put it down and fell in love with the heart and determination of Doreen. She’s fiercely loyal, good, and determined to save herself and her family while adhering to the motto of ‘harm none’. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves adventurous witches with a soft ghost story and the hope of finding true love.
