Queen B’s Decree: Bewitched was a book club selection, and the blurb definitely hooked me.
Bewitched has an interesting premise: Selene is a young witch who constantly loses her memories due to her magic use and she inadvertently awakens a long-asleep warlock…who thinks she is his soulmate from long ago.
It’s definitely a bit of a slow burn, and since Selene is the narrator, we are missing a lot of information (just as she is missing her memories). The world building is a little slow, but it sets the stage for all the suspense and action that soon happen.
The steam between Selene and her “soulmate” Memnon is more like a tease. Bewitched felt like half a book, waiting for more of the relationship progression. Regardless, I was hooked on the story and still want more.
Overall, it was an intriguing and interested start to a new series.
