The youngest Hawthorne just met the woman of her dreams—too bad she’s a demon sent to steal her magic.

Six months after the latest attack on the Moonlit Tavern, Laurel Hawthorne is left in charge. With the weight of the family business on her shoulders and the looming threat of another attack, she's never been more alone. That ends when a dangerous stranger steps in to break up a bar fight, and Laurel has found her hero.

Or so she thinks.

But Nerissa is no hero. She's bound by a soul contract, and her only hope for freedom is to steal the Hawthorne witches’ most powerful weapon: their magic.

Absolute must read!!

There’s witches, demons, and two FMC’s that can’t keep their hands off each other no matter how much they try 🔥 In the third book in her Witches of Starbrook series, @lavendellebooks masterfully weaves a tale that kept me up far later than I should have been. The tension, the storytelling, and the spice made finishing Tarot, Tea, and Trickery a need rather than a want, and I will be devouring the other books in this series as soon as my TBR clears up a bit!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️ )

Must read cozy romance

This series just keeps getting better and better. All the cozy small town vibes, but throw in a bisexual witch and a lesbian demon. The 3 MCs have all the reasons not to get together yet they cant stay away - so there's tension and yearning and then spice. And of course, an HEA. Loved it. )

A witchy good time!

Along the way comes Nerissa, a demon from the underworld that also has a mission but hopes to be free of it. She wants to go from bad to good. Has lots of magical moments and a few that make...

Tarot, Tea & Trickery is an excellent addition to the Witches of Starbrook series, and this time it’s sapphic which I am so happy for! The story picks up a few months after the last book, but gets right into the attraction and romance. I really felt for Laurel. I am an eldest daughter so Juniper resonated with me maybe too much, but being an aimless millennial, Laurel’s struggle to grow up and find her magic’s purpose really got me. Nerissa is truly a great counterpoint, as her fate and life’s...
