Publisher Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! • A whimsical and heartwarming novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Sera Swan used to be one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps Jasmine run an enchanted inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep said talking fox in check, and longs for the future that seems lost to her. But then she finds out about an old spell that could hold the key to restoring her power…

Enter Luke Larsen, handsome and icy magical historian, who arrives on a dark winter evening and just might know how to unlock the spell’s secrets. Luke has absolutely no interest in getting involved in the madcap goings-on of the inn and is definitely not about to let a certain bewitching innkeeper past his walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he agrees to help Sera with her spell. Worse, he might actually be thawing.

Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera Swan is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone...and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping Reviews

3.5
“This was such a heartwarming and cozy fantasy read 💗💗!! I loved all of the characters they were so precious and real, and all of the found family between them all was so beautiful 🥹💗!! It was also soooo funny, I was laughing out loud 😆, but there were also serious moments that were mixed in that made everything so much more heartfelt and real 🥺. The romance was soooo light and cute, I loved that sera was the grumpy one which one it made it so fun 🤭! This was going to be a 4.75 rating but unfortunately the ending had my least favorite trope 😭, I had a feeling that the plot was going to go in that direction but I hoped it wouldn’t 😔, this is just my personal opinion though because other than that this was so perfect 💖!!”
“I loved Batty Hole Inn and its cast of characters and I thoroughly enjoyed the quest to get Sera’s magic back. The romance was sweet and the found family was utterly adorable. This book was very nearly a 5 star read. The ending just felt like it took the first 3/4 of the book and decided to about face and Jam Pack the last few chapters with a tonne of ‘action’ and just erase everything that came before… it just felt very weird to spend most of the book trying to get her magic back to just erase it completely in the last two chapters and be fine with that!”
