I was just as hooked into the story as we continue in book two as I was in book one. Which is pretty uncommon these days. I find myself falling victim to second book syndrome more and more these days. Maybe that's a good reason to go digging in the depths of the tbr from time to time?
Anyway, we pick up right where we left off in book one but this time from Millie's POV. She's a psychic and a hedge witch who is now the focal point of a serial killer. Danger is quite literally lurking behind every shadow and darkened corner.
Our MMC ✨ LUCIEN ✨ is a warlock who has lived multiple lives that are intertwined with Millie. These two are couple goals! I'm talking about non toxic, full green flags flying, support you no matter what, let's *communicate* and never keep secrets from each other - our magic is stronger when we're together type of relationship.
Again, not a perfect book - the dialogue comes across a little campy sometimes? That might not even be it, trying to put my finger on it. The sisters definitely come across a little quirky and small townish from time to time, it's not a bad thing at all. It just makes for a not as fleshed out character.
I think the thing to keep in mind though, is that these books are on average 300 pages. They're fun, fast paced, a little chilling, the sisters despite what they're going through are good natured and light hearted. They have a good amount of humor, good times, fierce loyalty and love.
The romance in this one - ugh. I loved it so much. Lucien is so tender and sweet with Millie. The way he magics away her pain when a headache starts to come on and takes it on himself. The way he heals all her little scrapes and cuts. ...more
On paper, there's really nothing wrong with this book. Maybe, for me it lacked intrigue. My mind kept wandering off to all kinds of things - DNF @52%
On paper, there's really nothing wrong with this book. Maybe, for me it lacked intrigue. My mind kept wandering off to all kinds of things - like things I need to pick up at the grocery store, what's on TV tonight, where on earth is the last place I stashed my birth certificate?
LOL. You get the point. I can be a very tricky reader, I need to be engaged and hooked pretty early on, I just don't have time to struggle through books anymore.
It feels like the wait is so long for this - I can't take it after the ending of book 1. It feels like the wait is so long for this - I can't take it after the ending of book 1. ...more

The entire premise was enticing and the vibes were vibing - but the story was just not giving.
On to the next!
Super excited to start this one soon!

A Witch In Time is a story of magically star-crossed lovers, both artists, cursed to be reincarnated and live out their doomed affair again and again throughout history. Based on the description and premise, I thought this book was going to be an atmospheric, poetic, romantic, and maybe slightly sad book with some occult elements. Not only was it not really any of those things, it was also an incredible mess.
I was bored, annoyed, frustrated and had several eye rolling moments and at times I totally zoned out.
This is the second book I've read from Constance Sayers and both dropped the ball. Suffice to say, I won't be reading any more. ...more
