Witch Please by Ann Aguirre is the first book in the author’s Fix-it Witches series. It’s a cute, funny, steamy, and delightful book about love, and family, and witches. Danica Waterhouse is a witch, and she is co-owner of the Fix-it Witches repair shop where she and her sister Clemantine (Clem) fix just about anything using their inherited powers. Her weekly book club is actually a coven meeting where she meets up with her family of witches. They call normal humans mundanes, and they are forbidden by their grandmother to date mundanes and instead must use a special witch dating app. Danica’s mother married a mundane and the repercussions have left a feud in the family. Titus Winnaker owns Sugar Daddy’s bakery and has been unlucky in love and in his life. He shares a house with his sister Mara. His father has remarried after only a few months after his mother died and Titus is angry that his father didn’t mourn his mother as he has. When he meets Danica, it’s an instant attraction on his side, but he’s constantly worried she will break up with him as all his other girlfriends have. And for Danica, she’s attracted to Titus, but she knows that she’ll lose her powers and cause her family’s feud to worsen if she pursues him. Witch Please is a fun, romantic comedy that is light, and just a bit steamy. The story is about a family of witches but the author gives us enough information to make this family believable. The small-town setting and the cast of side characters (some will have their own books soon, I’m sure) make the book just a delight to read (or listen to). The narrator, Ava Lucas was very good and she was able to give each character their own voice so you could easily distinguish who was talking, and her overall voice was soothing and light. If you need a fun, light read about witches, this is the book for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
