when I started reading “wild is the witch” i honestly had zero expectations because i never read any of this author’s works before and had only seen a couple of people talk about it. let’s just say that i was pleasantly surprised by how much i loved and enjoyed this.
the story follows iris gray, a young witch who was forced to move out of her town with her mom after a devastating accident that she was involved in. now she hides her true nature while working at her mother’s wildlife refuge together with pike alder, an intern who hates witches. one day iris creates a curse that will turn pike into a witch but before she can dispel the curse it gets stolen by an amplifier owl. if the bird dies the curse could end up being deadly not just for pike but many people in the region. the only way to stop that from happening is if she works together with her enemy and if they find the cursed owl.
the writing was absolutely amazing and i was completely immersed in the story and the characters from first to last chapter. it was also very fast paced and easy to read.
it’s important to note that this book had all the amazing tropes that i and many others love so much, for example enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity and one tent/one bed. all of these were executed in such a perfect way and it gave me so much serotonin.
the constant bickering and fighting between iris and pike had me screaming, crying, throwing up!! the tension was unbearable + they were also really adorable and cute and it warms my heart just thinking about them. they had so much growth and if i could i would read this book again just for those two.
overall, an amazing book featuring witches and nature and most importantly amazing characters. i will never stop raving about how good it was and it officially entered the list of my all time favorite books. if i had more free time i would write a much better review but it is what it is i guess.
