Wild is the Witch

By Rachel Griffin
Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes an immersive, enemies-to-lovers contemporary fantasy standalone.

After a night of magic turns deadly, Iris Gray vows to never let another person learn she's a witch. It doesn't matter that the Witches' Council found her innocent or that her magic was once viewed as a marvel—that night on the lake changed everything. Now settled in Washington, Iris hides who she really is and vents her frustrations by writing curses she never intends to cast. And while she loves working at the wildlife refuge she runs with her mother, she loathes Pike Alder, the witch-hating aspiring ornithologist who interns with them.

When Pike makes a particularly hurtful comment, Iris concocts a cruel curse for him. But just as she's about to dispel it, an owl swoops down and steals the curse before flying far away from the refuge. The owl is a powerful amplifier, and if it dies, Iris's dark spell will be unleashed not only on Pike but on everyone in the region.

Forced to work together, Iris and Pike trek through the wilderness in search of the bird that could cost Pike his life. But Pike doesn't know the truth, and as more dangers arise in the woods, Iris must decide how far she's willing to go to keep her secrets safe.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Rachel does such an amazing job at creating characters and places you can't help but fall in love with. Wild is the Witch is no different. Iris hides that she is a witch after her and her mother uproot and move, insert an annoying teenage boy, Pike, who hates witches and you have the perfect spell for disaster. I don't like giving away things in reviews so I'll just leave it simple. Iris accidentally binds a curse that was never meant to be actually reach anyone to an animal amplifier. From here she must hide the fact that she is a witch from Pike while working with him to find the animal. I really loved the whole concept of this story and would happily more on Pike and Iris. I think my favorite thing about this entire book was "give it to the earth." As someone who has found my own outlet to release stress and frustration this one hit home. That whole last chapter was 🤌🤌 I'll probably reread this again in the fall. Its a quick read and I definitely recommend it!”
