Witch of Wild Things

Raquel Vasquez Gilliland

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Legend goes that long ago a Flores woman offended the old gods, and their family was cursed as a result. Now, every woman born to the family has a touch of magic.   Sage Flores has been running from her family—and their “gifts”—ever since her younger sister Sky died. Eight years later, Sage reluctantly returns to her hometown. Like slipping into an old, comforting sweater, Sage takes back her job at Cranberry Rose Company and uses her ability to communicate with plants to discover unusual heritage specimens in the surrounding lands. What should be a simple task is complicated by her partner in botany sleuthing: Tennessee Reyes. He broke her heart in high school, and she never fully recovered. Working together is reminding her of all their past tender, genuine moments—and new feelings for this mature sexy man are starting to take root in her heart. With rare plants to find, a dead sister who keeps bringing her coffee, and another sister whose anger fills the sky with lightning, Sage doesn’t have time for romance. But being with Tenn is like standing in the middle of a field on the cusp of a summer thunderstorm—supercharged and inevitable.

    There were elements that I liked, the rich culture, how atmospheric this read, and the touch of magic. I just was a bit underwhelmed because while this is an adult romance it most definitely read like a YA. Also… there was a lot of “snorting” and it was distracting. People can laugh, giggle, chuckle too… it was weirdly distracting how many times I read the phrase “I snorted” or “she snorted.”

     I love witchy books and this one had a perfect combination of heart, strength, and romance. The relationship between Sage and her sisters is complicated, but deep. The bond is unbreaking deep down even through all the ups and downs they encounter. One could say that their roots grow deep and strong. Sage was a great character and I empathized with her greatly. Tenn was a terrific book boyfriend and complimented her and got her motor-revving just by being a nice guy. I loved reading every minute of it that I almost finished it too quickly. I want to bask in a garden of Sage's creation, fed/nurtured with the help of Teal, and populated with help from Sky.
