I wanted to like this book. I'm a sucker for regency romance, witches, weird magic, and plucky heroines. The writing, though, gave everything away. Nothing was earned, no discoveries were made. I dnf'd when the grandmother showed up in the second chapter to explain that she is literally called a "Honey Witch" because...of magical honey. Emotional moments are discarded almost as soon as they're introduced and foreshadowing lasts barely through the paragraph in which it's introduced.
