THOUGHTS
Bad Luck Charm has all the things for a great spooky fall read: witches, murder, mystery, spice, history, and cemeteries. Not to mention: the banter!
It is told from the POV of Gwen, a occult shop owner in Salem, MA. She becomes the target of a coven of dark witches. Who comes to her aid, but her childhood crush, turned overprotective alphahole?!
Their banter was top tier, funny, and swoon worthy.
Graham was almost too alpha (if that is even a thing), but Gwen did a good job of putting him in his place when he went too far. When he wasn’t being over the top, he was compassionate and patient and was there for Gwen as she worked through some past hurts and trauma.
I enjoyed the mystery, which kept me guessing and engaged. There was a bit of a lull in the middle, but the build up to the ending more than made up for it.
This is the first book in a new series, and I can’t wait for the rest.

I’ve read a few spooky books this month — looking forward to reading more (or guess I’ll just have to re-read) once spooky season actually arrives.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of Bad Luck Charm in exchange for an honest review.
Pub date was 8/8/23 – so no excuse not to go read it asap!
