The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec

Marissa’s first review of the year

it was amazing
I loved this book!
I was immediately swept up into the story and once i started it, I didn't want to put it down. The story is captivating as it follows a woman who finds herself again after being broken, it is filled with love, heartbreak, friendship, family and a wonderful take on norse mythology.
I highly recommend!

Marissa’s last review of the year

it was ok
I was not a fan of the tropes in this book, I found it more cringe then cute. Sometimes even eye rolling ridiculous. However, there were some very sweet moments, which redeemed it a little for me.
