Bespelled by Laura Thalassa

4.0

The E-Arc of Bespelled was kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This has not altered my opinion of the book.

I had some reservations about this book, because I struggled a little with the first one. Without going into too much detail, the mmc Memnon did some things to the fmc Selene that I just could not forgive. This led to me not shipping them anymore, so I was rooting for the romance to fall apart, lol. And again, without going into too much detail, all is now forgiven. In the same way that Warner, in the Shatter Me series, can be forgiven after reading further into the series, Memnon can be forgiven after reading Bespelled.

I really enjoyed this book! Selene grew a lot as a person and as a witch, and her connection to Memnon became clearer and a lot more romantic throughout the book. Similarly to the first one, I loved the way the magic worked in this one as well. Also, I am a sucker for magical bonds between people, so Bespelled definitely hit the spot on that one. The book has intrigue, mystery, drama, action, and romance. I enjoyed it a lot!

If you’re into romantasy as a genre, or you love reading about witches, werewolves, anti-heroes getting the girl, and suspenseful drama, then definitely give this series a go!
