Never Been Witched

Never Been Witched by Molly Harper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I kind of wasn’t expecting the series to end so quickly, but I guess this is the “end” (although it certainly feels like only a midway point based on the epilogue).

Alice has been the quiet, conservative part of the witchy group up until now. Right out of the gate we learn a gross thing that she’s been hiding from her friends for some weirdo reason. Oh, and she gets to meet Collin, the new owner of the hotel down the street. They are both flawed characters and it was a teensy bit frustrating watching them both get steamrolled by people that are supposed to be friends/family. The larger storyline of the locks does get wrapped up here in a truly bizarre twist, but don’t worry - we still have the house and some haunting guests at the end.

So, back to the romance - Alice and Collin are a good match in their timid natures, but it is kind of hard to find other good interactions, especially once Collin’s ex shows up. Perhaps there was too much fast forwarding in their shopping trips to truly appreciate the building bond, but I found that a little lacking here. There was a bit of insta-forgive, too, which frustrated the feminist in me. While I’m glad we get matches for all the coven girls, this one was not super satisfying. I was more interested in the youngest coven members, and that says a lot. I definitely ended this series more interested than when we started, but it may have peaked at book 2. Will I still read another book by Molly Harper - you betcha!
