Bewitched

I received this book from NetGalley in return for my honest opinion

It took me a long time to finish this book. I was totally in love with the bargainer series by Laura, but this book lacks that extra spark that I loved in her other books.

Honestly, it was very predictable. It was pretty obvious what the ending was going to be like since it was all they spoke about.

I put the book down for a good amount of days before I kinda had to force myself to get trough it.

Honestly, I did like it. There where some parts that really made the book better, but it also felt like there was too much information we didn't need.

I love Laura Thalassa's books, and Bewitched is no different!

The premise for Bewitched is so so interesting. Selene is a witch who has the unusual side effect of losing memories each time she loses her magic. She wants to attend this specific school, but has to prove herself extra hard to get accepted. In doing so, she awakens a sorcerer named Memnon and all hell breaks loose in her life.

I really enjoyed this story. Selene and Memnon are quite the pair, going at each other over and over. I love watching Selene work to figure out what his deal is, and try to live a normal life with her condition. I also enjoyed watching Memnon navigate life in the modern world and stumble here and there - it was endearing when he didn't understand something.

Don't get me wrong, he is ruthless and cruel and not really a good person, but he has a softer side he reserves for Selene when her guard is down.

It was so so delicious watching Selene resist Memnon but also want him as the same time. She wanted to get with Kane but it felt wrong. She didn't want Memnon, but she also desperately wanted him. I loved the push and pull!

I also loved Kane, and quite honestly he can bite me and I wouldn't mind one bit! While Kane and the rest of the shifters weren't the focus of the story, it really awakened my enjoyment of shifter possessiveness and I am quite obsessed with it. You know who else is possessive? Memnon and WHEW I love it so much.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! The ending was a major cliffhangar and I am so glad I was able to start book 2 as an arc immediately after so I didn't have to agonizingly wait for it. I recommend!

Great premise.  Loved the magical school.  Felt too ya.  And I didn't like the heroine.  I gave up when she freaks out that she charged more on her cc than what is in her bank account.  Its called minimum payments and don't go do something stupid and sketchy for money. Her bargainer series is good though. Maybe give it another chance later in audiobook.
