The cozy fantasy book offers a wonderfully fairy-tale-like atmosphere with southern charm and a sweet story. Honey the Farewitch was warm and stubborn, and the modern setting with Wi-Fi and microwaves mixed well with the magical recipes.

Disenchanted

With All My Haunted Heart
By Isabel Sterling
Initially hired to inspect for ghosts, the beautiful co-owner Elle decides it would be better for business if Pippa helps to haunt the B&B instead. This leads to some pretty experimental magic for Pippa, but her growing feelings for Elle make her even more determined to make it work.
The magic in this book and the ghostly hauntings is a creative take on a rom-com situation, although there are also some heavy themes of grief.
Practically Magic
By Jen Calonita
Younger sister, Kat, was confused why she could never get any boy to be interested in her, until she finds out that her older sister, Harriet, had cursed her in an effort to protect her from suffering heartbreak. Kat's anger and the fight that follows leads to not only a sisterly tiff, but a reversal of every magic spell any Hadley witch has ever cast.
Spells that were meant to do good are suddenly starting to turn evil, and the balance of magic overall is threatening the entire land. Of course, that also means that suddenly Kat may have more male attention than ever.
The Witches Of Cambridge
By Alice Hoffman
By Liz Parker
After their mother's death thirteen years ago, sisters Florence and Evie Caldwell disagreed over how to break the curse on their family. Evie has transformed the family estate, Honeysuckle House, into an enchanted bed and breakfast, with Florence running a magical bookstore nearby. The house itself starts to act up, even catching fire, and Florence and Evie are forced to work together to unravel the curse before someone they love dies.
The book jumps between timelines showing different sets of sisters in the Caldwell family, including Violet from 1960 and her forbidden love interest, Tillie. The book is much darker than it seems at first glance, but its magic systems and depth of story make it a must read for any fan of Practical Magic 2.
