The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer #bookreview #ballantinebooks

Overview

She can hop into any novel, but she just can’t stay there.

Come along with the Book Witch in this magical and inspiring love letter to reading from the USA Todaybestselling author of The Wishing Game.

“Meg Shaffer continues to surprise and delight me with each book she writes.”—Laurie Gilmore, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café

Rainy March is a proud, third-generation Book Witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps in and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and rogue heroes like a modern-day magical Nancy Drew.

Book Witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real world; fictional characters belong in works of fiction. Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don’t even think about it.

Which is why Rainy has been forbidden from seeing the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite mystery series. If she’s ever caught with him again, she’ll be expelled from her book coven—and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name.

But when her beloved grandfather disappears and a priceless book is stolen, there’s only one person she trusts to help her solve the case: the Duke. Their quest takes them through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, King Arthur, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

Review

Rainy March is a proud, third-generation Book Witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps in and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and rogue heroes like a modern-day magical Nancy Drew.

I absolutely loved Rainy! I want to be a book witch when I grow up! She has the best job of jumping into stories and saving the characters. What a wonderful, wild, creative tale. And be prepared for a surprise or two or three.

Now I did fluctuate between 4.5 and 5 stars. This was a 5 star read up until the very end of this book. I just felt like the author could’ve wrapped it up a little bit better. It was a bit rushed and confusing in places.

But y’all, you just cannot NOT love this book. For a reader, this book is great! You have wonderful book characters. You have wonderful book references. It is full of all things magic for a reader.

Need a book made for the reader in you…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
