IT'S TIME TO REDISCOVER HER MAGIC . . .
Belladonna Blackthorn hasn’t lost her magical spark, but she hasn’t seen it in a while either. Balancing work at her beloved London bookshop, Lunar Books, with handling her toxic boss and concealing her witchcraft from those around her – Belle is burnt out. Perfecting the potential of her magic is the last thing on her mind.
But, when her thirtieth birthday brings a summons from her coven and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle risks losing her magic for ever. With the month of October to fix things and signs that dark forces may be working against her, 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 . . .
Can Belle reignite her spark before it’s too late?
With found family, a dash of romance and an uplifting message about self-love, Rewitched is a cosy fantasy that will leave you spellbound . . .

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.
