Back in a Spell (The Witches of Thistle Grove)

Product Information

This book pitches itself as a Pansexual/Nonbinary romance and I don't think it was handled well at all. When Morty is introduced, via their online dating profile, they list their pronouns as he/they. And the heroine states that since 'he' is listed first, she will refer to them as 'he'. And apparently he only...

Arabic: ظَهْر‎ (ar) m ( ẓahr ) Egyptian Arabic: ضهر‎ m ( ḍahr ) Hijazi Arabic: ظَهَر‎ m ( ḍahar ) Moroccan Arabic: ضهر‎ m ( ḍhar ) Well ooops, I read book 3 instead of book 2. But the charm of a series like this is in the self-contained novels (for the most part - there were a couple of references to past events here and there that I thought I didn't remember, but nothing story-mangling); you can absolutely accidentally skip a book and still be absolutely able to follow the story.

In fact, aside from the initial pronoun and gender scene/discussion and one very short scene later with Morty’s family… it feels like this novel was conceptualized and drafted as a queer M/F romance and amended to be nonbinary in retrospect. A novel does not need to be an identity story to have respectful inclusion of someone’s identity in meaningful ways. What would have really helped is having chapters from Morty to get some of their perspective, though I understand the decision was probably made to follow the single POV format of the other Thistle Grove novels. It seems that her bestie (non magical...btw.) Is determined to find the perfect mate to free her most buttoned up buddy.The two most powerful warriors are patience and time, says Leo Tolstoy. This article tells you how you can manipulate time using powerful and genuine time spells. Morty was a cardboard cutout of a character that the author seemed to decide was Hispanic, pan, and nb—not for inclusivity’s sake, but instead as an afterthought. After Nina learns that Morty goes by he/they and masks as male presenting for their family’s comfort, she [Nina] proceeds to use strictly he/him pronouns and descriptions for the rest of the book. This is especially seen in their spicy encounters but even while fully clothed Nina regularly remarks on Morty’s appearance and vibes as masculine. This is repetitive throughout, using phrases like: “boyishly delighted”, “nerdboy”, “distinctly male undercurrent” (the last one referring specifically to Morty’s pride in the size of their p a c k a g e). The sensitivity, humor, romance, and magic make the hours spent reading pass faster then one can say ABBRACADABBRA. There’re also some inclusions that rung my gender essentialist bell. Aside from multiple casual usages of “guy”, “dude”, “boyish face”, and “boyishly delighted grin” throughout the text—none of which Morty specifically okays—it gets even more uncomfortable during sexual encounters.

believe me, I know. There’s nothing more intoxicating. Why do you think my family are the way that they are? At least, in part. Because we’ve been like this—this kind of strong for centuries. It’s hard not to let it get to you. To keep things in perspective. When you feel a little like you could rule the world. Like the world should submit and let you rule it.” And instead of her partner or anyone grounding her, Morty only agrees. The entire interaction gave me hives. thank you Berkeley romance for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! 🫶 However I had some major issues with this 3rd installment that have caused me to put this down and no longer continue with the series.The most effective way of using a love spell is by focusing on the person you desire and concentrating on their image while casting the spell. Visualizing them in your mind will help strengthen the power of the spell. For example, if you're casting a spell for boyfriend who left you, try to focus on how much you have loved him in the past, rather than focusing on any negativity that might have occurred during your separation or breakup. Mistook a bunch of red flags for a carnival, as they say— and by ‘they,’ I obviously mean the relevant memes." So after the first date some weird stuff happens and they have a type of connection. And that first flair of chemistry becomes atomic. Wow I need more of that type of connection in my books! 🔥🥵 Do you also want to get your ex boyfriend or girlfriend’s call or message? Consult me right away and ask for spell casting. What I Can Do For You With White Magic Spells?

I'm just confused as to why this book promoted a nonbinary character if they were only going to gender the MC as 'dude', 'boyish', and 'he' throughout the entire novel? And completely ignore the 'they' portion of their identity...Let me give you some examples that will help you to understand genuine time spells. Have you ever been asked to wait for news about a loved one involved in an accident? You have no idea whether your loved one is alive or not. If you know that they are alive, you may not know how badly injured they are. In this case, an hour becomes a whole day. So make sure to cast this strong love spell with correct procedure or take help from right person like me. Some positives: I still like Lana’s writing a lot, the audiobook narration was enjoyable, the setting is very fun, the law stuff is well-done (you can tell Lana is an actual lawyer lol), I love a good magical bond, and the magic stuff in general keeps things interesting and fun. It's a little more heavy on the romance, this one, and while I still liked it very much it didn't have the same oomph of loving it that the first one gave me. Nina is an impressive protagonist - she's not always likeable, and in fact makes a couple of pretty objectively awful decisions. She's spiky and self-controlled - and then gets paired with the wonderful Morty, who despite having he/they pronouns is he throughout the book. The two of them are a good pair - but I preferred when we had a little more intrigue to balance out the romance. Cameron sounds even more confident when she adds: “I always knew I was wrong for Katie Taylor. That’s why I always wanted the fight. All that changes is that Katie is going to come in desperate for revenge and I’m coming in knowing I’m too much for Katie Taylor. I’m too stubborn, my work rate is too high, I’m too strong and too big.”
