Book: Playing the Witch Card

Author: KJ Dell’Antonia

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for an eARC in exchange for my honest review. 

The description said it will feel like Gilmore Girls with some Practical Magic involved. I couldn’t agree more. It gave me all the Gilmore Girls feelings and that is what we all need for the fall. 

Flair’s family is surrounded by magic, which she refused to accept as she got older. Her grandmother had passed and left her with a bakery in a small town in Kansas. She wasn’t sure what to do with it at first. She then took it as an opportunity to escape with her daughter to get away from her cheating husband. 

The small town in Kansas takes Halloween very seriously with trails and Halloween decor all over town. Flair was told she had to make treats for the trail so she decided to make sugar cookie tarot cards. That was my favorite part. You really got to see Flair shine when she was handing out the cookie tarot cards to customers. 

This is a great book to get you in the fall and spooky season spirit.

Final Score: 4/5
