A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping

De: Sangu Mandanna

Narrado por: Samara MacLaren

A whimsical and heartwarming novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Sera Swan used to be one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps Jasmine run an enchanted inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep said talking fox in check, and longs for the future that seems lost to her. But then she finds out about an old spell that could hold the key to restoring her power…

Enter Luke Larsen, handsome and icy magical historian, who arrives on a dark winter evening and just might know how to unlock the spell’s secrets. Luke has absolutely no interest in getting involved in the madcap goings-on of the inn and is definitely not about to let a certain bewitching innkeeper past his walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he agrees to help Sera with her spell. Worse, he might actually be thawing.

Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera Swan is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone...and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Found family, a talking fox, a quaint inn in an English village—it’s like this book was written just for me. Mandanna somehow writes existential crises like a warm hug.”—The New York Times

"I want to live inside this wonderful book! Every single page is sweet, quirky, charming, and one hundred percent delightful! I absolutely loved it!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

"This book is pure magic. Warm, cozy, and gentle, fiery, passionate, and angry, joyful, insightful, and hilarious. It’s full of love and heart and emotion, and I adored every moment of it. I so wish I could check into Sera’s inn to hang out with her and Luke and Jasmine and that delightful undead rooster."—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of Flirting Lessons

I want to live at the Inn too!

Everything! This is the kind of book you wish you had a library full of the balance between magic and love and embracing each individual with their strengths and flaws. We are all meant to evolve and to learn what brings happiness. And kicking fear based leadership in the nuts is also really nice. A heartfelt, thank you to the author.

Nice story

This book was different from book one, I loved all the sidecharacterss. but the main female lead was a bit sad and a bit depressed at times. I laughed and cried. The narrator read too slowly so I speeded it or I'd fall asleep. Overall I did enjoy this book,

I love this author! (and reader!)

I was obsessed with The Very Secret Society and I have been so excited for this one for a year. It started a little slow but it picked up and I was in love. I love how she incorporates sparkling magic, endearing children, love interests, and always a good bit of action. Please just keep giving us more of this world! The narrator is amazing too and brings these books to life - she makes them sparkle.

Fun read

I enjoyed this book it was good over all and I enjoyed the characters. You really find yourself feeling part of this family and wishing you were part of it. I truly enjoyed it and find small things through out my day reminding me of the book. I don’t think it great only because of a few things here and there a small part was the ending but I understand why it was like that.

Another quaint and cozy story

I flew through this book! It was full of kindness and positivity and love which is rare these days. I was entertained and calmed by images of the quirky cottage with warm cinnamon buns! And the characters were unique and charming. I’ll anxiously await the next story from this author.

Lovely

Loved the narrators voices for various characters and expression. Her tone of voice is lovely and it was pleasing to listen to.

This was exactly what I needed to hear!

Just like Sarah, we all need a different perspective and to be candid with ourselves about how we truly feel. Thank you for bringing the magic to life in a whole new way!

Perfectly adorable!

I absolutely loved this book. I loved every single character — I just loved everything. It was heartwarming, clever, funny and enchanting.

The narrator is just perfect and easily one of my favorite narrators ever.

Thoughtful, cozy and fun

The characters and setting are so enjoyable and the themes really hit home (so to speak!). The narrator performance is also excellent- great accent work!

Great Book

I loved the story and finished in about 3 days. I wish the ending was a *bit* different. However, I feel it was a fitting end even though it was bittersweet. This book made me want a scone, a cup of tea, and a warm fire. And the reader was very good
