Descripción editorial
In this spellbinding warm and cozy debut novel, a burned-out witch will need to turn to her friends and trust in herself to find the magic in her own life again.
Belladonna Blackthorn hasn’t lost her magical spark, precisely . . . but she hasn’t seen it in a while either.
With her witchcraft under wraps and a toxic boss making her days miserable, Belle is struggling to keep her beloved Lunar Books afloat and just make it through the day. The last thing she has time for is perfecting her magic.
So when her thirtieth birthday brings a summons from her coven and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle fears the worst. With only the month of October left to prove herself or risk losing her magic forever, Belle will need all the help she can get—from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor figure and even from an infuriating coven watchman who’s sworn to protect her...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wood's cozy but underbaked debut finds witch Belladonna "Belle" Blackwood approaching her 30th birthday. Bookstore manager Belle's quiet life among mortals has left her powers "not completely dormant" but "just a little sleepy," which makes a summons back to her coven to prove herself worthy of keeping her magic particularly intimidating. If, after a designated mentorship period, she cannot pass the grimoire's five tests, her days of witchery are over. With an infamous warlock as her mentor and a handsome watchman as her protector, Belle steadily works her way through all five challenges. Unfortunately, Wood gives Belle few characteristics outside of her spunkiness—which often comes off as combative arrogance—and the supporting cast is similarly underdeveloped. The plot doesn't really ramp up until near the end, when the true villains, who have been working to ensure Belle's failure, are revealed, adding some much-needed stakes. The gentle, witchy atmosphere appeals, but this doesn't have much else going for it.
