Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A witch generationally cursed to never 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. Doreen MacKinnon is doomed to die of a broken heart - if she can’t break the centuries old curse placed on her family. Three hundred years ago, Ambrose MacDonald, a powerful male witch, fell in love with a MacKinnon. And when the MacKinnon witches forbade him from seeing his love, by secretly hiding her away, he retaliated by cursing the family and its future generations to never find love. But it wasn’t without a cost. Now, Ambrose is imprisoned by those same witches, trapped in a tempest and doomed to outlive everyone he has ever loved. But Doreen isn’t like the other MacKinnon witches. As the 13th generation of the MacKinnon line, Doreen is one of the most powerful witches in centuries… and one of the loneliest. So when she discovers where Ambrose has been trapped, she releases him to help her break the curse, once and for all. Ambrose agrees to help, but with his own motive: vengeance. He plans to use her as bait to enact his revenge on her family. Together, they enter a series of trials, which take them to a castle in Scotland, off a cliff, and into a world beyond their wildest dreams. As they work together, sparks start to fly, but soon Doreen must choose how far she is willing to go to break the curse, and what she's willing to sacrifice. Paige Crutcher's A Circle of Uncommon Witches is a story of adventure, romance, and destiny, that asks: is true love worth the cost?

    hank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this novel.

    I’m not convinced I loved or hated it. Maybe it was my own surrounding and brain but I felt like I was super confused for most of the book. My biggest qualm is that it kept changing perspectives but with nothing to show the difference. The first 28 pages I didn’t know if Doreen or Margot was the main character.

    I loved the concept of the curse but I felt like the romance part was so bland and not convincing until Margot’s perspective near the end. I didn’t feeling like anyone was in love.

    I think this is a great concept but I think I needed more context and/or multiple books to really get through the story.
