đź“– A Little More About the Book:
Kiela has always preferred books over people, which is why she’s spent the last decade as a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, alongside her only companion—Caz, a magically sentient spider plant. But when a revolution ignites and the library burns, Kiela flees with as many spellbooks as she can carry, retreating to the one place she never thought she’d return: her childhood home on a quiet, remote island.
There, she hopes to find solace—but instead, she finds a nosy (and very handsome) neighbor who refuses to leave her alone, an island in desperate need of a little magic, and a risky opportunity to create something entirely new: the island’s first-ever secret spellshop.
With the help of an old recipe book, a bit of forbidden magic, and a garden full of ripe berries, Kiela’s world begins to transform—one spell, one jar of jam, and one unexpected friendship at a time.
If you love cozy fantasy, grumpy x sunshine romance, secret spellshops, and cinnamon-roll male leads, this book will steal your heart. đź’ś
