Isla Jewell wrote a beautiful book!!

Books & Bewitchment by Isla Jewell (releasing February 2026) is a cozy, witchy contemporary fantasy romance and the first book in the Arcadia Falls series. It blends magical elements with a small-town, "found family" story, focusing on a woman inheriting a video store, transforming it into a bookstore, and discovering dormant magic.

Key Aspects of the Book & Genre:
Genre Classification: It is officially classified under contemporary fantasy, witchy romcom, romantic comedy, and paranormal romance.

Atmosphere: Described as a "warm hug" or a "cozy, whimsical read" featuring a small-town setting with magical, romantic, and often humorous elements.

Plot Elements: The story follows Rhea Wolfe, who inherits a dusty, old-fashioned video store and attempts to turn it into a bookstore. She discovers her own magical, inherited legacy and experiences a "forbidden" romance with a local handyman.

Themes: Key themes include self-discovery, finding family, small-town charm, and the magical,, transformative power of books.

So good!

Book review - Fiction - Paperback ARC - Magical Realism - Contemporary - Fantasy

I just finished The Unwritten Rules of Magic by Harper Ross and here are my musings.

Emerson feels out of control of her life and when her father, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s passes away.. She feels unmoored. All she wants is his typewriter, the one he told her never to touch. She finds typing him letters helps her to process. To become happier.

Her mother wants to move on but is living at the bottom of a bottle.

The more she helps her mother pack up her life, the more disturbing things she uncovers she knows she should destroy the typewriter. The object that made things worse not better and the devastating effects it has had on their lives.

I admit, I did not read the synopsis and I was a tad disappointed that there was not more magic in the book. We only really see the magical realism in the pages her father has written. This book is loaded with grief and trauma. I wish it had been titled differently but it does not change how I feel about the book.

It was beautifully heartbreaking. The story was told with such finesse I read it in one sitting. It all hinges around the death of an author, Emerson’s father and how his success thanks to the typewriter destroyed his family.

It was so well written and I was hooked. I wanted to know what path Emerson would choose. I was so bloody invested I stayed up past my bed time. Yeah, dedicated or what! I liked how it ended. It gave me all the feels. It was just what I needed to be honest and the pacing was great!!

If you love magical realism with family drama and grief.. This is the one for you!

You came for Elspeth and Ravyn, but you’ll stay for Elm.

In Two Twisted Crowns, the overlooked, sarcastic prince finally takes center stage, and his journey from a tortured, quiet pawn to a fiercely protective force—especially when it comes to Ione—is everything.

If you love a morally grey guy with a hidden heart of gold, Elm is going to destroy you".

Elm Rowan deserves the world, and Two Twisted Crowns finally gives him a romance that’s as sharp, tense, and deeply moving as the gothic setting of this amazing book.

Watching him and Ione navigate their trauma side-by-side, moving from reluctant allies to 'I will lay down the kingdom for you'—it’s the slow-burn payoff you need".

Join us on this deep dive into elm and his character centric journey from prince of the shadows to saviour of the blunder in the first part of our two twisted crowns deep dive.

The White Eagle Card.... 9 cards

The Providence Cards in One Dark Window were created by the legendary Shepherd King, each granting a unique magical ability at a terrible cost or "curse".

Power Granted: The White Eagle card banishes fear and instills the user with exceptional courage and daring bravery.

The Curse: The cost of this temporary bravery is that when the card's effect fades, fear returns in full force and becomes amplified, leaving the user more timid and paralyzed than before the card was used. The associated nursery rhyme warns: "Your courage will quit, mar you bit by bit. Be wary the fear that the eagle once blurred".

Appearance: The card is described as being trimmed in snowy white velvet and depicts a proud eagle soaring above a wheat field, with orange eyes and sharp black talons.

In the Story: There were originally nine White Eagle cards made. To forge the card, the Shepherd King's personal sacrifice was "skin, which left [his] hands scarred"

Our episode will drop TOMORROW!!

When the episode drops, tell us your favorite fantasy book in the comments on spotify for your chance to win one dark window bookish prizes from

Book review - Fiction - ALC Audiobook - Romance - Fantasy - Romantasy

Tempest Awakening by Emma Moon

Tess never expected to become a part of the world she loved to read about in her books but that is what happens. Landing a job in a magical library has her pinching herself at her luck… Then something she never expects… To bond to one of the most powerful dragons… A mere human and it has the magical world in a tizz.

Can she make it through the training? Or will she be everything her mother says she is?

I actually found this audiobook to be pretty dang good! Yes it’s pretty generic… A touch cringey but I kinda adored it.

This is book one and I think the author did a good job of introducing us to Tess (Tempest) and the three men gravitating to her… The gargoyle is my favorite! They were friends as kids and he left her life when she was 9 so that was such a sweet reunion for me. It did a decent enough of world building without leaning too heavy on character vs plot so that was a pleasant surprise

Some of the things you can expect…

She loves books
Slow burn
Reverse harem
Dragons
Fae
Shifters


And a ton of cute banter.

I liked it. I know a lot of people had rather negative things to say but I think it was a great start to a series I’m intrigued by.
