Novella Episode: Tides Wait for No Witch by Natalie Summers (ARC review)

In this spoiler-free arc review of Tides Wait for No Witch we’re headed to Spelltide Bay where there’s magic, adorable talking sea creatures and a mystery to be solved! This cozy paranormal mystery by Natalie Summers gives a town of unique and very suspicious residents who just so happen to be on the ever growing list of suspects that Sara Rivers is forming. After inheriting a home on the island, Sara finds herself unable to stop investigating the murder of a long lost relative…along with dealing with the fact that she’s also half witch! Join Bookers Sam and Corey as they take you through a review of this read and pour yourself a Tides Wait for No Witch inspired cocktail, Ocean Margarita, while you listen!

Blood & Steel by Helen B. Scheuerer

The world of Blood and Steel by Helen B. Scheuerer had us bouncing through a wide range of emotions. We were inspired, ready for revenge and we were most definitely swooning! Thea is a woman who knows her destiny is one where she has a sword in her hand, but in her world that’s exactly what she can’t do. Arming women goes against a prophecy, but Thea is determined to change everything!  Is there an MMC that is protective and brooding? Yup! Side characters that have you smirking? You bet! And enemies that actually having you doubting victory? Duh! Pour something strong that Wilder Hawthorne would approve of perhaps an Nine Lives cocktail and press play!

Arcana Academy by Elise Kova

All the best stories start with an execution order, right? Sprinkle in an intricate and unique magic system, an MMC with secrets and an academy setting and you’ve got a book that has us DEBATING! Arcana Academy by Elise Kova birthed some strong thoughts and crazy theories! Clara, the main character of this dark academy romantasy, is thrust into the world of Arcana Academy and forced to succeed in the school for tarot card magic and wielding. As her only means of survival and finding out the truth about her mother and sister’s disappearance, she must fake a relationship with her mortal enemy Prince Keilas. Pour something strong and join the discussion, because we have opinions, theories and that general Boozy Booker chaos 😆
