Here's what I can't understand — why aren't more people suggesting Discovery of Witches as the perfect fall read?

Genre: Fantasy
Format: 🎧
Audiobook Narration: ☆☆☆☆☆
Pub Date: 2.8.2011
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

"Yes, I see that you are behaving like a prince, but that doesn't mean you won't behave like a devil at the first opportunity."

Discover of Witches was the PERFECT escape read and gave me hours (23 hours and 56 minutes, to be precise) of listening entertainment. The audiobook narration was exquisite and added so much to the storyline. While the story lags at times, it was just the moody read I was looking for in October.

I also loved all of the bits of history sprinkled throughout the book - there used to be this show called 'The Librarian', and Discovery of Witches reminded me of it. However, the way the author presented all of the histories wasn't overwhelming; instead, it was rather interesting.

🔥 Slow Burn
📖 History
✨ Witches + Vampires
😍 Matthew Clairmont
🖤 Dark academia vibes

I recommend reading it if you would like Outlander but with witches & and vampires!
