Witchy Fantasy


S.K. Reviews An Unlikely Coven

The outcast daughter of a powerful family of witches returns home to New York City and is immediately embroiled in a supernatural power struggle in this wickedly funny fantasy debut from AM Kvita. After seven long years Joan Greenwood is finally returning home. Unfortunately, her family totally forgot about it.

Witches of Honeysuckle House 1 comment

Ok—I live in a house in the woods. I built it—or at least I told the builders how to build it (whether they liked it or not) and I’ve lived in it for over 20 years. I can absolutely guarantee that this house is alive. It’s tried to kill me a couple of times—all in good fun—and it’s even more frequently saved my life. We have a complicated relationship. Haunted by a curse that kills someone close to their family […]

A Circle of Uncommon Witches by Paige Crutcher

S.K. Reviews A Circle of Uncommon Witches by Paige Crutcher

I was probably in a snarky mood because the setup did not captivate me at first—A witch generationally cursed never to find true love sets out to break the spell cast on her family and must team up with the last person who wants to help her – the witch who set the curse in the first place. But, snarkiness aside, I am always in the mood for witches and curses, plus we are going to Scotland in this one, […]
