First Witches Club by Maisey Yates | Fantasy Romance Review
This is a cute read with a little too much going on.
This was a cute book about three women who all happen to have lousy cheating cheaters for husbands. They come together when yet another victim of a cheating spouse lands in the hospital. They become unlikely friends and all find some kind of work in a nearby witchy apothecary.
It moves along at a steady clip and new romances blossom super fast. Too fast for me actually. I think each woman deserved her own book because the romances felt really under baked. All three in one made it feel crowded and rushed and sometimes made my head spin. But it’s decent and a little witchy and has a slightly cozy feel despite all the dickhead husbands.
Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Publisher Plot Synopsis
When three betrayed wives stumble into a magical apothecary shop, they discover that revenge is sweet—but finding true love and their own power is even sweeter in this witty, romantic novel about second chances from New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates.
Nora, Daisy, and Soraya think their marriages are just fine. Until their husbands prove them wrong.
Nora’s says he needs distance and flits off to a wellness retreat in Chile. Daisy’s confesses to an affair with someone younger. And Soraya’s sends her a pic of that special part of himself—meant for another woman. At a loss for what to do, they follow their intuition right into Lady’s Mantle Apothecary.
As they embrace their untapped magic, their fortunes begin changing fast. Getting even with their exes is satisfying, but the real magic happens when they start opening their hearts to new possibilities. Nora discovers that true love might have been right in front of her all along in the form of her childhood best friend. Daisy finds herself falling for her ex-husband’s handsome business partner, a former TV star who sees the real her. And Soraya, who never dated before marriage, experiences an unexpected attraction to the mysterious owner of the game shop across the hall.
With the help of an enigmatic shopkeeper, these three women discover that the best revenge isn’t just about hexes and karma—it’s about finding your own path to love, friendship, and claiming your power. And that is positively magical.
It does sound cute...but I agree, each woman should have had her own book.
ReplyDeleteYep, three romances in one novel ends up leaving all of them underdeveloped.
