Back in a Spell by Lana Harper

February 23, 2023 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

I’m officially obsessed with this series. I loved the first book so much; a queer revenge story where contemporary witches plot to get the best of their sketchy ex and overthrow a family with too much power? Yes please. The second book was solid and enjoyable, but not queer, so it didn’t stand out as much in my mind. This book though? Super queer with a main character who isn’t always the most likable, but is trying to be better for the people she loves […]

Surprise magical powers and a very cute love story.

Back in a Spell (The Witches of Thistle Grove, #3) by Lana Harper

December 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. This is the third book in the Witches of Thistle Grove series, full of witchy goodness, small town shenanigans, a surprisingly intricate magic system, and queer people falling in love. I keep saying this, but Back in a Spell is my favorite of these books yet. Nineve Blackmore, of the infamous Blackmores, is the first half of our couple here, and the second is Morty Gutierrez, owner […]

Payback's a Witch

Can I live in Thistle Grove?

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

Lana Harper’s Payback’s a Witch introduces us to the magical small town of Thistle Grove. Four families of witches founded the place. They compete in The Gauntlet every few years. The winning family is bestowed with good fortune. The wealthy and pretentious Blackmoore family has won for decades. The Arbiter of the competition is the Harlow family. Emmy Harlow left town after high school and never wanted to come back. Her breakup with Gareth Blackmoore soured her on the place. She also was sick of […]

Oh, shit I just realized I could have used this for the ‘snake’ BINGO square, but I’m already committed to a less literal and more satisfying usage of it later.

From Bad to Cursed (The Witches of Thistle Grove, #2) by Lana Harper

July 18, 2022 by narfna 6 Comments

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley books for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I liked this even better than the first one. I actually think what I like most about this series doesn’t really have anything to do with the featured romances. I just like this world, and I like that Lana Harper is creating a fictional place that is not just full of eccentric townspeople and coziness, as one expects from a small town romance series, but also continues to […]

A Witch Comes Home

Payback's A Witch by Lana Harper

April 5, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Emmy is a Harlow, the least powerful family in Thistle Grove – and after nine years away, she has come home to arbitrate a magical competition, thumb her nose at her ex, and… possibly get revenge? I picked up this book because one of the Popsugar challenges says to read a book blurbed by your favorite author, and my absolute deity Jacqueline Carey blurbed this. It was certainly an enjoyable romp of a read. The town of Thistle Grove is vividly alive – I really […]

Revenge is a dish served up by witches

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

February 16, 2022 by Mikki Blu 2 Comments

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling rom-com by Lana Harper.” This book is a blend of a lot of different elements – it’s paranormal, mixed with payback on a cheating ex boyfriend, a dash of Harry Potteresque wizard tournament and sizzle of a new lesbian romance.  The main character, Emmy Harlow, is a witch but because she left her home town after high school, her powers are diminished.  You see, her home town of Thistle Grove is a place […]
