The Honey Witch
Sydney J. Shields
The Honey Witch of Innisfree can never find true love. That is her curse to bear. But when a young woman who doesn’t believe in magic arrives on her island, sparks fly in this deliciously sweet debut novel of magic, hope, and love overcoming all. Twenty-one-year-old Marigold Claude has always preferred the company of the spirits of the meadow to any of the suitors who’ve tried to woo her. So when her grandmother whisks her away to the family cottage on the tiny Isle of Innisfree with an offer to train her as the next Honey Witch, she accepts immediately. But her newfound magic and independence come with a No one can fall in love with the Honey Witch. When Lottie Burke, a notoriously grumpy skeptic who doesn’t believe in magic, shows up on her doorstep, Marigold can’t resist the challenge to prove to her that magic is real. But soon, Marigold begins to care for Lottie in ways she never expected. And when darker magic awakens and threatens to destroy her home, she must fight for much more than her new home—at the risk of losing her magic and her heart.
This is so cute so far but I’m lowkey expecting something heartbreaking to happen

0Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I loved The Honey Witch. It was the perfect mix of wholesome and cozy, but also got serious when it needed to. I thought the overall pacing felt right. I do wish we had had more time with Althea and more about the history of witches and how the magic works.
The strength of this book was the imagery - it was whimsical and rich. I also appreciated the small life lessons Marigold learns along the way. Strong read, feels perfect for spring as the world blossoms back to life!
0This was such a cozy fantasy story! I went in with no idea what this book was about and I'm glad I listened to the audiobook. The narrator had a great accent and made the story so easy to get lost in. I don't think I would have been able to finish this book if I had read a physical copy.
This was a sweet coming of age and identity story where our FMC figures out why she has always been so different from her parents and siblings, finds friends who are accepting of who she is, and a a career that she really enjoys. There are twists and turns and although they were slightly predictable, I thought the author had a great writing style and I enjoyed being along for the journey.
