Bloom’s (
Must Love Cowboys) delightfully witchy romance follows 29-year-old Delia Merriweather, whose family believes they are witches. They’ve told Delia that they were hexed long ago and no longer have access to their magic; ever the skeptic, Delia doesn’t really believe them, but she loves them so much that she doesn’t argue. Delia has always been told she’s a blue witch born under a blue moon, destined to release the family’s powers on her 30th birthday. Max Halifax is a warlock whose family was responsible for hexing the Merriweathers generations earlier. He is tasked with preventing Delia from overturning the curse but finds himself increasingly drawn to her. When Delia unintentionally unlocks her powers, Max sticks close, helping her harness her newfound abilities before she accidentally reveals the existence of the witch community. Zion Jang and Lauren Knight narrate this fast-paced, emotionally rich romance. Their narration is balanced and evenly paced, with consistent, distinct voices for the main characters.
VERDICT A charming story with “Sleeping Beauty” undertones that will make a great addition to contemporary paranormal romance collections. This novel may also appeal to fans of Erin Sterling and Hazel Beck.
