Night Witch

by Jaymin Eve

Night Witch is the sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller Spellcaster with an intense enemies-to-lovers arc, a steamy heat level, magical creatures, super high stakes, and an epic family saga.

Be careful what you witch for.

Welcome to year two at Weatherstone College…

Last year, after coming face to face with darkness and lethal monsters, Logan Kingston, my sworn enemy and sometimes ally, brought my first year to an explosive ending. There’s a bond between us that I can’t explain, but I just know he’s hiding something. Maybe I don’t fully trust any spellcaster, but there’s no denying my draw to him.

I’m not going to lie, I haven’t felt myself since then, and I’m dreading returning to Weatherstone.

So I hated every second of this. It was cringe, beyond cringe, and I am so glad that the publisher sent me both an eARC and ALC because I could not have read this with my eyeballs. Not a huge fan of the narrators either. She made every female character sound whiny, and he made every male character sound like he lived in a dungeon.

Why were they immediately in love when they were enemies (which I have a lot to say about that in my review of book 1) at the end of book 1 basically??

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (2.5/5 Stars)
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (4/5 Chili Peppers)

After the absolute triumph that was Spellcaster, which I eagerly awarded 4.5/5 stars (rounded up), Night Witch was easily one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Unfortunately, this sequel did not live up to expectations. While a 3-star rating may be fair, it actually feels a bit generous given how disappointing the overall execution turned out to be, so I rounded the 2.5 stars down. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC and ALC!

A Packed Plot and Ruined Pacing
The biggest issue with Night Witch is its structure. Frankly, this should have been two books. The narrative attempts to juggle two completely distinct major plot threads, culminating in two separate "boss battles." Because the author tried to cram both arcs into a single installment, the pacing suffered immensely.

The first 25% of the book starts off fairly slow, establishing the return to Weatherstone College. But once the plot kicks into gear, it feels like the author realized they were running out of time and just threw everything at the wall. A prime example of this is a quest that is explicitly hyped up as being practically impossible - yet our characters breeze through it and complete it in literally one day with little to no hardship. When high stakes are resolved that easily, it completely drains the tension from the story.

The Problem with a "Perfect" Logan
The dynamic between the main characters was another major letdown. The enemies-to-lovers arc in Spellcaster was incredibly satisfying because of the organic tension. In Night Witch, however, Logan feels like an entirely different person.

He has been written into an almost annoyingly perfect boyfriend. He can cook, he’s the lead singer in a band, he’s rich, he’s 300% devoted to Paisley in an obsessive alpha-male way, and he constantly protects her and gives her everything she wants. On top of that, he is a master communicator who always says the exact right thing. While that might sound nice on paper, it actually takes you entirely out of the story. He is so flawless that he ceases to feel like a real, believable character, killing the genuine romantic chemistry they used to have.

Final Thoughts
If you loved the grit and tension of the first book, Night Witch might leave you feeling frustrated. It’s an okay read if you just want to see how the Weatherstone College duet wraps up, but the rushed pacing, overstuffed plot, and overly idealized romance ultimately kept it from being the spectacular sequel it should have been.

[Luce · Rating 2 out of 5]

No, but what the hell was this? Another sequel that has severely disappointed me after an amazing first book... what is in the air???

I swear book 1 ended with them hating each other and then book 2 suddenly they're in love and inseparable... was a chapter edited out or did I miss something?

And oh my god, the overuse of the word 'mate'. Just because they're mates doesn't mean you don't have to do any relationship development... it was lazy writing in my opinion.

And Logan being in a secret band... what a loser. I got the ick. Plus, his dialogue was so cringe in this book.

This book is diabolical considering how much I adored book 1.

[Maddy · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5⭐️
This duet is such a fun read. It has a unique magic system, a great found family, and a hero worth obsessing over.

I was slumping HARD, but I picked up this ARC and devoured it in record time. Jaymin’s writing is so addictive and this is one of her best!

Logan and Paisley are adorable, to be honest. I don’t know that I expected them to be so sweet on each other this whole book based on the first one, but I ate it up regardless. He’s possessive, protective, and wants nothing more than to take care of her. Dude is down bad!

The book could have been longer, honestly! If only to allow the last act to feel a bit more fleshed out and have the weight it needed. Still, it was a satisfying end to the story and follow up to book one.

Definitely recommend. Especially if you’re looking for a story with that crack factor that won’t let you put it down until it’s over!

[PrettyPhantastic · Rating 2 out of 5]

This might be a controversial take but this book was super disappointing. The plot, magic system, and world building had so much potential but there was a significant decrease in quality from the first book to the second. First of all I didn’t know it was a duology, but looking back the rushed pace and how fast every major plot line was resolved makes a lot of sense. For everything that happened in this book, it was far too short. The book went back and forth from Paisley and Logan being all over each other to every single problem being solved so quickly. As a reader I was cringed out by how many times the characters called each other mate and how fast they fell for each other when the first book was a nice slow burn and tension build of their relationship. I also have gripes with how all the big bad evil was stopped. I felt like we were told, not shown the resolution and it resolved in a couple chapters at the end. The reactions from the characters especially Logan with his father was so beyond mild while his rage over Paisley was blown so out of proportion it just didn’t make sense. I don’t know I was just let down by this book because the concept was so intriguing but ultimately the execution was rushed and failed.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review

[Scarlett Reading · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 rounded up! Thank you so much to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Jaymin Eve, and NetGalley for the ARC because wow, this duet wrapped up in such a satisfying way.

I absolutely flew through this one. It’s fast-paced, addictive, and packed with magic, spice, and heart. Logan and Paisley genuinely surprised me and I didn’t expect them to be so soft with each other after book one, but I loved every minute of it. Logan is fully in his protective, touch-her-and-die era (down bad in the best way), and Paisley is a total badass FMC who holds her own. Their chemistry is strong, the yearning hits, and yes… the spice delivers.

The dark academia vibes mixed with witches, warlocks, elemental magic, and fated mates made for such a fun, refreshing setup. Add in a found family that actually feels warm and real (Paisley’s family especially), and it gives the story an extra layer that I really appreciated.

If I had one small critique, it’s that I wouldn’t have minded a bit more room in the final act was overally, a satisfying conclusion that kept me hooked until the very end.

If you’re into:

morally gray MMCs who would burn the world for her
badass FMCs
enemies to lovers
academia settings
lots of spice + unique magic systems

…this one is absolutely worth your time.

Fast, fun, emotional in all the right places, and definitely a shelf trophy for me.

[Marissa.Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5⭐️

This was the perfect ending to an immaculate duet! I absolutely devoured Spell Caster, and this book was somehow even better! Dark academia meets witches and warlocks…plus maybe a little more, but I’ll let you discover that for yourselves. The magic system in this book was so refreshing and unique, with fated mates, and the most perfect found family.

Paisley has an affinity that was irradiated years ago and it may be the only hope of saving their world, but with a council that wants her kind dead, it’s up to her families enemy to help her fight off both the demons that are showing up in their world, the council, as well as his father that’s out for revenge.

This was such a quick, and fun fast paced read, it has heart racing moments, and an MMC that takes yearning to the next level!

Thank you so much to the Hive/Mira for allowing me to read this pre-release in exchange for my honest review!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Night Witch for an honest review!

Night Witch is the sequel following Spellcaster, completing the Weatherstone College duology. I gave Spellcaster 4 ⭐️ and loved how it was an urban fantasy along with the plot-line of the book. I also enjoyed Paisley and Logan’s relationship in book one, but felt like their romance was being pushed too much onto the reader, rather than feeling it myself while reading it in this. I enjoyed the follow up of Night Witch and the conclusion to the story. However, I do feel the ending was a little rushed.

I ultimately ended up giving Night Witch 3 ⭐️ because I did not love the writing style. Im not sure if I just chose to ignore it, or maybe it wasn’t as bothersome when I read Spellcaster, however, in Night Witch I felt the writing style was very juvenile, sporadic and just not for me. The book is not YA so I would not recommend it for YA only readers, but the writing was giving very young adult, and reading it as an adult when it is meant for adult audiences just made me dislike it a bit.

Overall, Im glad I read the conclusion to the story, but I did not feel as connected to the characters or their story as I did when I read Spellcaster. It is a short duology, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick light read in between heavier books!

[Alyx Gough]

I am genuinely so confused by this one. I was so excited for it and practically begged for this ARC because I loved Spellcaster and especially loved Logan there… but I’m only 50% in and unfortunately DNFing.

Was this even written by the same person?!

The writing felt incredibly immature and confusing to me, to the point where sentences were contradicting themselves. I kept rereading passages trying to figure out if I missed something because the flow and logic just felt off the entire time.

And Logan?? I’m honestly shocked by what happened to his character. In Spellcaster he was dark, smoldering, mysterious, and sexy. In this one he came across as possessive, annoying, and weirdly childish. His entire personality seemed to revolve around Paisley to the point where he couldn’t think straight.

The whole “I knew we were mates when she was four” while also calling her sexy gave me major whiplash, and then he basically spends the book hovering over her and babysitting her every move. I understand wanting to protect her, but it felt so over the top that Paisley barely seemed capable of existing on her own.

Overall, this was such a disappointing read for me because I had such high expectations going in. I kept waiting for it to click and feel like the author’s other books that I’ve loved, but it just never happened.

[Lydia Brooks · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am so disappointed 😭 everything I loved from spellcaster was missing here and the plot fell flat for me

[Cassie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Is the overall story entertaining? Yes. But some things just didn’t work for me personally.

There are two main conflicts throughout the story, and they both seemed to be resolved in a too easy manner that I just didn’t buy.

My other issue is the way the MC’s can be in the middle of a serious moment and all they’re thinking about is how hot one another is. I feel like this is a common thing in romantasy but it just took me out of the story a bit.

Positives were the unique magic and the wholesome family aspects. I still plan to give the author’s other series a go.

[Taylor.Rosellen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was so much fun! I heard someone describe it as the book version of a CW show, and I kind of love that. It’s super fast paced, and you can’t help but fall in love with the main characters.

[Joanna Owens · Rating 3 out of 5]

I mean, it's tried and tested Jaymin Eve isn't it, it's always going to be readable.

Damn though, she's written such a vivid and well rounded world, with such a clear magic system... I can't help but feel it's just a bit disappointing. There is SO much promise but it's all a bit insta-crush, a bit mate-cringe... And there's more love bombing than you could shake a fist at.

I get it. It's what she does. It's her formula. All her FMC's cry at the drop of a hat. They all love being carried everywhere, they are all obsessed with showering or being showered and towelled off my their MATE (you have to shout that word, just incase there is a reader somewhere in the world who hasn't been slapped around the head a million times by her characters MATE BOND in the first ten chapters)... And every shower room is well stocked with toothbrushes, spare moisturiser (she always mentions moisturizer) and her MMC's always love to cook for their MATE's. (MATE)

So there we have it. All I can conclude is that Jaymin Eve loves her food, cries a lot, has an unhealthy obsession with showering and gushes everywhere like a hose (because, ALL the FMC's do). I hate to think how much underwear that poor woman goes through.

So, my thoughts are that this is an entertaining light read but largely disappointing in the sense that I felt this was rushed. This isn't a serious book and it isn't claiming to be, we aren't aiming for the heady heights of peak Romantasy and this is miles apart from peak fantasy but it is an enjoyable offering from a tried and tested author. I would say this is an average paranormal romance, worth a read and perfect for a holiday because it's a very easy read.

I suppose I just wonder what this lady could write if she stepped out of her comfort zone, shunned the formula and really tried something different.

[Monica · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars overall

I have two trains of thought here: First, this was a quick, fun continuation of the Weatherstone College world where Paisley continues to explore her magic. Second, I wish there was more substance to this story.

Plot-wise, very little happens in this book. Paisley continues to learn about her abilities while trying to prove to the world she is not evil. That is pretty much the bulk of the plot. And to be fair, this is a pretty short book by fantasy standards these days, but I just wish there was... more? More exploration into the history of the affinities, particularly the reapers.

Relationships actually become the main focus of this book, which might not be so bad, but there is a trope in here that pops up and then is brought up approximately every 0.5 seconds. The romance between Paisley and Logan is front and center, like I would say the ratio is 80% relationship 20% plot.
The good news is, we also get to see more of Paisley's relationships with her friends and family as well, which I did like to see more. She has a great born family, but she also grows a great found family here, too. Although I would have liked to see more depth in the side characters as well. It really was the Pais & Logan show and everyone else revolved around their orbit completely.

I had a lot of fun with this, but I will say book 1 definitely takes the cake for this duology.

Audio note: Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke are incredible. Once again, they bring Paisley and Logan to life and deliver a great single-POV duet narration. As I listen at 3x speed, there were a few moments where the male narration was so deep/low that it was a little garbled at faster speed, but overall it was really great.

Thank you to Harlequin / MIRA for the advance digital and audio copies of this book.

[Camilla · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed Night Witch – it's a solid sequel that pulls you right back into Paisley's world. She's come a long way from the confused freshman in the first book, and now she's dealing with some seriously heavy stuff. It's intense, but I loved watching her fight through it all.

The relationship with Logan is the heart of the story, and honestly, their bond just gets stronger and sweeter here. He's completely devoted to her, and their scenes together hit all the right emotional notes. The world-building also gets way more interesting. The plot twists gave the whole story more meaning.

Some plot points felt a bit predictable, and the middle section dragged a little. I also wish we got more from the side characters, they kind of fade into the background at times.

Still, the ending totally made up for it. Overall, it's a really satisfying read – not flawless, but definitely worth your time if you liked the first book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I am completely obsessed with this series.

I loved the first book, but somehow this one was even better. I started it and basically disappeared for a day because I could not stop reading. Between the action, the magic, the romance, and all the twists, I was hooked from beginning to end.

Logan Kingston. That’s it. That’s the review.

Seriously though, the way this man cares for Paisley had me absolutely swooning. The way he shows up for her, protects her, and loves her was everything I wanted. And can we talk about the tomcat? Every scene with that cat melted me.

The romance was incredible. The tension, the chemistry, the devotion. It all worked for me. And the spice? Fantastic. Every single moment felt earned because of the connection between the characters.

I listened to the audiobook and wow. The duet narration was perfection. The narrators completely brought these characters to life, and those accents had me kicking my feet. It made an already amazing story even better.

I also loved spending more time in this world. The magic system is so much fun, the stakes felt high, and the found family remains one of my favorite parts of the series.

This was one of those books where I kept telling myself “just one more chapter” and suddenly half the book was gone.

An easy five stars. I loved every minute of it and I’m already missing these characters. Jaymin Eve absolutely knocked this series out of the park. ❤️

[Nadine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Night Witch is the conclusion to the Weatherstone College duology following Paisley as she attends the college to learn to hone her magic.

Night Witch picks up after the events of Spellcaster as Paisley discovers her new affinity and learns that she’s the one who has been calling the monsters.

At the end of Spellcaster, Logan says something that hints at a coming change to his and Paisley’s relationship. That change hits hard and fast in Night Witch and makes Logan down bad for Paisley. If you’re a fan of the ‘touch her and die’ and possessive tropes, Night Witch delivers tenfold.

Eve has a laidback and modern writing style. This style of writing isn’t for everyone and that is abundantly obvious in the reviews for Spellcaster.

As mentioned previously, Logan and Paisley’s relationship changes dramatically in Night Witch. Their interactions are intense and all-consuming.

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

The reason I rated the novel four stars instead of five is because of the quick resolution and lack of worldbuilding.

Without going into spoilers, there are two problems the characters have to deal with before the end of the novel. Problem 1 is dealt with quickly and efficiently despite the characters being told how difficult the problem will be to solve.

Night Witch has an explosive ending that I enjoyed, but it could have been stronger with more worldbuilding. Problem 2’s resolution feels like it comes out of nowhere, largely because Paisley has to put in very little cognitive effort as the resolution is given to her.

Overall, Night Witch is a fast-paced, trope-filled conclusion that kept me so engaged I nearly read it in one sitting. Despite some shortcomings in worldbuilding and the rushed resolutions, it’s an addictive and enjoyable read that will especially satisfy fans of intense romance and high-stakes magic.

I should be sleeping, but instead I stayed up way past my bedtime because I could not put Night Witch down…obsessed is an understatement and I seriously didn’t think I could love Paisley, Logan, their world, the fabulous side characters and the story more than I already did, but boy was I wrong!!!! So so good!!!! Will write more when I’ve had a chance to get some sleep, but the stakes are seriously high in this one, the spice is off the charts, and if you thought you liked Logan as Paisley’s love interest in Spellcaster, you’ll love him even more in this one. ;)

[Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed Spellcaster a lot but this one didn’t hit in the same way. It’s kind of silly and cheesy and OTT melodramatic in parts. It was still a super easy read and the lightness and fun was well received. The first half is just more of the same from book one so it all felt super repetitive. Maybe it wouldn’t have bugged me had I not just done a reread but alas I did. There were still scenes in here that were a lot of fun and had me smiling and swooning. I really do love Logan, he is a great H. For those who read Jaymin Eve regularly he very much reminds me a lot of Braxton from the Supernatural Prison series with some Shadow Beast energy.

The last half was better in terms of repetitiveness—we were getting new scenes and characters and more developed obstacles but like it was just all so easy. They don’t have to do any research or trial and error. The bad person just tells them what’s wrong and how to fix it. Snooze. Part of what had me so intrigued about the MC was her magic and what role it was going to play in their world and it felt like we got that information just handed to us too easily too. The scene was till fun nonetheless though.

We have a few villains in this duet and every single time they’re in their big villain moment it became so cringey, lol. I get this series is not meant to be taken too seriously but let’s make them a little formidable and scary please!

The relationship between our MCs is really the star of the show here as well as her relationship with her family and friends. I am excited to get more from this world.

I did part of this, the middle, on audio and it’s a pretty good audiobook. Duet narration. I didn’t love the narrator for the MMC, the super growliness mixed with the “italian-y” accent was kind of cartoony.

[Yadi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow this book surprised me in the best way I was not expecting Logan to be a rockstar like what?!!!!! When he appeared on stage singing wow best scene ever 🤩 (I love metalcore🎶) He was so perfect in this book I knew it in the first book that he didn’t hate Paisley you could obviously tell he was obsessed with her and this book confirmed it.

He is just perfect book boyfriend material I want a Logan for me. But tell me why every time he kept saying precious I couldn’t help myself and picture the creature from Lord of the rings—whatever his name is— 😄

The focus of this book is mainly the romance compared to the second book where there was actually more plot. Here is minimal and I felt that the story was resolved pretty quickly and most of the resolutions were very convenient. That is why it is not a five stars.

In this occasion I was here for the vibes and this book didn’t disappoint I love the romance and Logan he is just too hot and perfect not to.

I did and immersive reading and wow it was incredible I totally forgot this was first person pov since they were two narrators let me tell you the male narrator’s voice was amazing 🤩 the audiobook gets five stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Blair Warner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Logan. This is the second book and the conclusion to the Weatherstone College duet. From enemies-to-lovers and now to touch her and die! He is all she is "mine" and now I am sat! There is defiantly a change in the relationship from the first book tot he second and the spice is outstanding. Paisley now knows what she is, in terms of magic and I think you might be able to guess it but you will learn what a Night Witch is. But we love a MMC that is down bad and that is what Logan is. To hear about what their bond truly is, when it really began, and more history was great! I loved what Jaymin Eve did with this.
The audio was soooo good. You need this in your ears immediately Jason Clarke. I could listen to this man read a grocery list. Everything about his voice is pleasing to my ears. His rate of speed, how he speaks and articulates his words. I'd listen to this audio over and over just to listen to him. Savannah Peachwood also did a phenomenal job. Together they are unstoppable. I would 100% recommend grabbing this audio and doing an immersion read.
Thank you so much to HTP for the complimentary copies. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

[Hannnah_Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked that this series was a duology, it’s the perfect amount of books for this story. This second book was just as entertaining as the first. I enjoyed the characters and that we got to venture outside of the college setting to different locations.

The beginning of the book felt more romance heavy, while the last third of the book focused more on the magic and main issues the characters were facing. I think the issues were resolved a bit too easily and quickly.

I wish we got more background about the history of the Night Witches. People being afraid of something just because they don’t fully understand it is unfortunately a really common issue we see in the real world.

All of this to say, this is a highly entertaining, spicy romantasy duology that I think most people enjoy!

[Sarimarys · Rating 4 out of 5]

After meeting Logan in book one as the powerful, intimidating, and incredibly grumpy character he was, I was so excited to dive into this book and it delivered everything I was hoping for. While Logan still has that commanding presence, we also get to see all of his softer sides when it comes to Paisley, and I absolutely could not get enough of it. He is protective, caring, supportive, and completely devoted in a way that made me fall for him even more.

This story is fast paced and incredibly engaging. From the very beginning, I found myself flying through the pages because the world and storyline were so captivating. Every chapter kept me invested, and I couldn't wait to see how everything would come together in the end.

One thing I really appreciated was that this was a duology. The author told the story they wanted to tell without unnecessarily dragging it out, and the ending felt satisfying and complete. That said, I would absolutely love to revisit these characters in the future. I'd happily read a novella showing them a few years down the road as parents, or even stories featuring Paisley's siblings. The ending left me fulfilled while also making me want more which is always a sign of a great book.
I also did an immersive read for this one, and the audiobook was fantastic. The narration added another layer to the story and made the reading experience even more enjoyable.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and HTP/MIRA for providing me with an ALC and eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and author Jaymin Eve, for providing me with the ALC of “Night Witch”.

The audio is so good! Jason growling “Say it again” is just 🥵. He could not have narrated Logan’s parts any better. Savannah could not have put any more emotion into this if she tried. Truly they both did such a good job with this!

💭My Thoughts💭
Logan in book 1 said nah I don’t want to want you, then said do you even know me !!! I loved how growly he was and the possessiveness was just panty melting good. And the very end …. Sign me up for that level of love.

Paisley really came into her own in the second book. I loved how she just trusted herself and trusted her magic. I also loved what her magic turns out to be in the end, and that she gets to be the one to do it.

I know it’s summer but witchy books are year round!

I have been dying for more Weatherstone College since the moment I finished Spellcaster, and Night Witch absolutely did not disappoint. Did I stay up until 2 a.m. reading this book when I knew I had a busy day ahead of me? Yep. Do I regret it? Nope, not in the slightest.

I have 3 words for you: Logan Motherf*ckin Kingston.

"An angry and sarcastic Logan was sexy. An attentive and caring Logan was absolutely devastating."

That is 100000% spot on. Logan absolutely destroyed me in this book. I thought I loved him in Spellcaster, but Jaymin said, "Here. Hold my beer." He is still the cocky, broody, and intense Logan we meet in Spellcaster, but the gentle, caretaker side of him when it comes to Paisley that appears in Night Witch is everything. Not to mention his unapologetic stalker tendencies and immaculate touch her and be unalived vibes that hit just right. Logan has officially reached book husband status, and the witty banter, electric chemistry, and sizzling spice between him and Paisley checked off all of my pnr/romantasy-loving boxes.

The plot twist at the end of Spellcaster hints at where the story is heading, and Night Witch jumps right in from there. That means that there is a lot going on in this book from the start and a lot our characters have to face and resolve. This made for a pretty fast pace, but it never felt rushed; to me, the events flowed naturally and the story progressed quickly without skipping over details or important events. The pacing and the high stakes kept me engaged and made it virtually impossible for me to put the book down.

Jaymin excels at found family, and that is evident again in Night Witch. The way that everyone rallies around Paisley as she comes to terms with her magical affinity and its repercussions is so heartwarming. It is the relationships with Paisley's family and friends that help to make this story so much more than just a romance. Through them and Paisley's journey of self-discovery and acceptance, we are able to explore themes of prejudice, grief, forgiveness, and growth.

I devoured this book. There are moments that make your heart race and make your heart break; moments that make you swoon, make you laugh, and make you cry. Night Witch is as captivating and emotional as it is fun. It was such an exciting and gratifying conclusion to Paisley and Logan's duet. I just don't want to leave this world behind, so I'm crossing my fingers for some spinoffs with the supporting characters. One thing I do know though is that whatever is next from Jaymin Eve, I will be buying it. I am a stan for life!

Thank you to the author, Mira, HTP and Harper Collins for this gifted e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was looking forward to this book with how the first book ended. What was in the book and in the letters? What all can Paisley’s magic do? And how does Logan fit in?

Unfortunately, the answers to these questions was anticlimactic. This book starts off with utter confusion and continues to be repetitive. It is almost like the first book except Logan is all in love with Paisley and dotting on her instead being mean and broody. The ending was also very disappointing. Like, that is all? And also the sex curse? Ugh.

Night Witch is a fantastic follow up to Spellcaster. With mysterious witch powers, action, found family, and a hot alpha wizard who keeps handing over his clothes, Jaymin Eve writes a satisfying conclusion to this impossible to put down duet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Night Witch picks up right where Spellcaster left off. This series should be read in order, and the books form a wonderful duet. I won’t give away too many plot details, but Paisley comes to terms with her magical affinity and her bond with Logan. And, they manage to get in plenty of romance while fighting the magical establishment.

For all the time Paisley and Logan spent bickering and not trusting each other in the first book, they are both all in now. Logan shows a sweeter side to his powerful spellcaster this time around, and forced proximity abounds. I love that they get to spend so much time together on page while puzzlingly out the mysteries around them. Their found family, along with Paisley’s parents and siblings, is fantastic. And don’t worry, there are plenty of sizzling hot scenes too.

I read this entire book in a day immediately after I downloaded it. Then, I got to reread it via audio, which is fantastic. Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke are back with duet narration; even though it is a single POV, Clarke again voices all the male characters. I adore these narrators, and they are perfectly cast for this story.

Night Witch is the perfect follow up to Spellcaster. If you like sizzling stories where the witches figure out how to save the world and themselves, read this series!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance listening copy and ebook copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
