Overall, I liked the cozyness of the story, and Samara MacLaren's voice was great to listen to. I liked the world building, the idea that all witches are orphans and have to be alone, more or less, and the way the magic itself works. I also didn't see the main twist coming, at all. The second one was easy to see, though. What I didn't like was the sex scene. For one thing, it wasn't well told. For another, it always irritates me when the characters in a story go straight from nothing to sex without once talking about protection, be it from pregnancy or STDs. I'm pretty sure both are a possibility in this book's world and should be addressed no matter how badly desire suddenly struck the people involved.
