The Little Library Project

In true Me style, I was in fear after Fairy Tale that I would enter into a reading slump. I mean, what on earth is going to match up to that?! So naturally, I launched straight into a new easy read.  This is a very new addition to my collection as it was purchased as part of my birthday book collection after seeing some really good reviews on Twitter from other bloggers.  A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating A Demon was exactly what you'd expect - fun and cute with plenty of grumpy/sunshine. Mariel is from a powerful and respected family of witches but she isn't quite meeting up to her mother's expectations. Whilst working on her spellcraft, she accidentally summons a demon - and he's a soul-bargainer and can't leave until she's promised him her soul.  This was a sweet read that is perfect for fans of The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling. And it gave me some very cosy Autumn/Halloween vibes. 

Another book that I definitely should have read over the Halloween period! Cackle was another one of those buzz books circulating on the run up to Halloween this year and I ordered it just a tad too late.  Cackle focuses around Annie - recently dumped and forced to move away from the big city to a small town to start a new job and new life. But she can't stop pining her for ex. Whilst navigating her new home, she meets the gorgeous Sophie who introduces her to the joys of being alone.  Sophie isn't the main character in this book but she's the one that stuck with me the most. If she existed here in the UK - she'd absolutely be shopping at Collectif! I really liked her - yes her methods are extreme and questionable in many ways, but she was a badass bitch and I aspire to that level of confidence. It was another nice, and simple read. Some people have described it as "dark" - I didn't think that at all but as someone who has always had a love of all thing wi...

  For a while now, I've been wanting some Autumn themed books that weren't horror or thriller based. You know what I mean - like how Christmas books are basically romance but with snow. I wanted Autumn/Fall leading up to Halloween. The pumpkins are implied but not the whole story.  And whilst The Ex Hex is absolutely witchy - it delivered on the Autumn feels.  The Ex Hex tells the story of Vivi - 9 years ago she had a summer thing with one of the Penhallow boys and he broke her heart. Vodka drunk, she did want any teenage witch would do. Together with her cousin, they hexed him! But years later, they had no idea of what the impact would be.  Small town romance with a spooky twist, I absolutely adored this book and will be on the hunt for the second book next Autumn. Apparently there's even going to be a third!
