Wild Is the Witch

De: Rachel Griffin

Narrado por: Laura Knight Keating

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes an immersive, enemies-to-lovers contemporary fantasy standalone.

After a night of magic turns deadly, Iris Gray vows to never let another person learn she’s a witch. It doesn’t matter that the Witches’ Council found her innocent or that her magic was once viewed as a marvel—that night on the lake changed everything. Now settled in Washington, Iris hides who she really is and vents her frustrations by writing curses she never intends to cast. And while she loves working at the wildlife refuge she runs with her mother, she loathes Pike Alder, the witch-hating aspiring ornithologist who interns with them.

When Pike makes a particularly hurtful comment, Iris concocts a cruel curse for him. But just as she’s about to dispel it, an owl swoops down and steals the curse before flying far away from the refuge. The owl is a powerful amplifier, and if it dies, Iris’s dark spell will be unleashed not only on Pike but on everyone in the region.

Forced to work together, Iris and Pike trek through the wilderness in search of the bird that could cost Pike his life. But Pike doesn’t know the truth, and as more dangers arise in the woods, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to keep her secrets safe.

Fall, Magic, Danger, and Romance

I've been in love with this cover since I first set eyes on it. I've been meaning to read it since I first saw Rachel Griffin's teasers about it. And I am so glad I snagged it during a recent audible sale, because it was the PERFECT listen during my road trip.

I was absolutely swept away into the world of Iris Grey, the Pacific NW, and the magic she desperately hid from those around her. Griffin does an excellent job of making Iris easy to understand and relate to, from her initial hate for Pike to her reluctant teamwork, then compassion, and eventually painful love that puts him first. Their conversations in the woods, as he explains that annoying her seemed to be the only thing that got her out of her head and into the present moment, charmed me. Iris's struggles to accept this version of Pike were believable, complex, and heart-warming.

A friend sent me the second book in this series, so I am very much looking forward to continuing the adventure!!

So good I wish we had more

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, officially. I loved the premise, the form of magic, and the characters in the book. I just wish it was longer, as in, I wish she went into more detail on a lot of things. It just went really fast, and it was such a good story I wish she had added more to it to help us know that characters, the history, and the lore better. It was very good though, if you like witches you’ll enjoy this book.

perfect

There is nothing like Griffin writing. Atmospheric and poignant, it is always a beautiful read.

Such a good story...

This story was great. And I loved everything about it. The narrator was good too.
