ARC Review:
Love and Other Wicked Things by Philline Harms
4.75⭐

Such a lovely story about magic and family! Perfect fall witchy read!

Rhia and Valarie are witches - with affinities for earth and fire, respectively. Rhia grew up in Oakriver and is working in a bookstore cafe for a while before she starts college. Oakriver was Valarie's mother's hometown, so Val returns to find out what happened to her while studying art at the local college. Is it fate when Rhia and Val meet? It's definitely magical.

I love Val and Rhia together, and their character arcs are both really good. All of the characters have depth and exist as more than just to help Val and Rhia move their stories along. Quinn is a wonderful friend, and I'm pretty sure I'd be envious of their blue hair. I also really liked the witchy elements and the healing care. Would absolutely read another book by the same author, if not the same town.… (meer)
