Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

I had Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood on my list to read for Halloween last year, but as they say, best laid plans. Instead of waiting until this fall, I decided I needed something light and fun to read now that wasn't necessarily a cozy mystery.

audio, ebook, print (384 pages); cozy fantasy

I don't read a ton of fantasy novels, but when I do, I prefer for them to be set in the "real world," and I like for witches to be involved. Rewitched sounded like it was right up my alle,y and now that I've read it, I can say it is definitely the kind of fantasy novel I like to read.

I would say this is a coming-of-age story, but the main character is 30 years old. So maybe it is more of a "finding your true self" novel. Bella is a very relatable character, even if she is a witch. She wants to please people but doesn't always have confidence in herself.

The supporting cast of characters is great, too. It is a group of friends that you would want to hang out with.

I don't want to say too much about the evil that is in the book, as it would be too easy to spoil the trials Bella must face. But I will say that the Big Baddie in this story shows you what would result if Delores Umbridge and Voldemort had a child together. 

There are a couple of other things that felt to me as having Harry Potter influence. As a fan of the series (I did the midnight releases of several of the books and movies) it was fun to see these little touches. But if you have never read the series or are not a fan, it won't impact your enjoyment of this story. 

If you are looking for a fun, light read that isn't a rom-com or cozy mystery, then you should definitely pick up this cozy fantasy.
