About this book

Step into the mist-shrouded, enchanting shores of Befana Bay, where magic is as common as the morning tide. Sage Easton, a brilliant but high-strung glass artist, finds her world shattered when a mysterious spell strips away her powers. Unable to practice her craft, she must swallow her pride and turn to her former high school nemesis, the carefree and charming August West.

What begins as a reluctant quest to regain her magic quickly spirals into a delightful enemies-to-lovers dance. As August sets out to teach the workaholic witch how to embrace the simple joys of life, the two find themselves entangled in a web of fake dating and undeniable chemistry. Between meddling grandmothers and the sparkling Pacific Northwest backdrop, the tension between them is as electric as the magic they are trying to restore.

But the stakes in Befana Bay are higher than a simple romance. When a dark threat emerges to jeopardize their home, Sage and August must reconcile their differences to uncover the truth. This cozy fantasy read is the perfect escape for anyone craving a heartwarming paranormal romance filled with mystery, laughter, and just a touch of witchy whimsy. Dive into this enchanting series starter today.

Are you in the mood for an uplifting witchy romance? Of course, you are because it’s fall reading season. I highly recommend “The Witch’s Silver Lining”, by Deanna Chase. This is the first book in her new Witches of Befana Bay series and I am officially hooked. A spin off from Chase’s Keating Hollow series, that has now been added to my need to read list. Sage Easton and August West, having known each other for years, begin to see each other in a different light as they work together to solve a...

Really liked this book. Easy read with suspense and laughter woven in. Didn’t want to put it down. No detailed sex scenes which was a relief and surprise. Most authors today feel they have to be extremely detailed about the characters having sex to sell their book. ) 4 people found this helpful

I really enjoyed The Witches Silver Lining. Deanna has done it once again. I really enjoy her characters and how they are entwined with one another. She has subtle way of drawing in the audience with her words. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book and can't wait to delve into the witch community shenanigans around Belfana Bay. )
