About this listen

This spooky season curl up with the perfect witchy romcom for fans of Gilmore Girls, Hocus Pocus and Charmed. An absolute must-read if you love Erin Sterling’s The Ex Hex and Lana Harper’s Payback’s a Witch!

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus…

Essie Winterscale lives in a huge and ever-changing house in the village of Good Winter, in deepest, darkest Essex. She lives with various witches of various ages, one of whom is still a bit salty about being hanged in the 1700s, one who keeps accidentally casting fertility spells, and one who knits things that create the future.

All Essie ever wanted was to have a normal life but in the end she found herself drawn back to Beldam House because she just can’t stop her witchiness (although the ability to instantly chill wine is pretty awesome, even she has to admit).

Into this coven of chaos stumbles gorgeous, clueless Josh, their new landlord – and he’s just discovered his tenants haven’t paid rent since the 1700s! As Josh is drawn further into the lives of the inhabitants of Beldam House, Essie is determined to keep him at broomstick’s length. That is, until a family secret, lying hidden for centuries, puts Josh firmly under her spell…

Absolutely adored this super cute witchy Rom Com! Between the storyline and the narrator’s voice, I’m in LOVE! 🖤

Super Cute!

This is an excellent version of a girly story! Such a cute book! It has everything a woman would like in a hallmark movie. Small town, magic, love interest, mistaken identity and of course, time travel! Ha ha! This is a great read and non that I have read before.

So cute!

A darker vibe than I expected. Due to the cover and title I thought it would be another flirty witchy romance book but instead this one had a more melancholy story line and neutral slow narration. This a cozy morning slow read not a sexy fun summer read. Still a good book.

Not what I expected

This book is guilty of what is quickly becoming one of my biggest pet peeves- American characters who speak like English people. No Seattleite is ever going to call them “gum boots”.

That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book! Perfectly delightful characters and story, and precisely the right ratio of whimsy to sinister.

I liked it!

While this one isn't quite as good as Little Haunting By The Sea, it is still an excellent story with great characters and a PLOT that moves well. I can't wait for more of her stories.

I love Kate Johnson's Ghost and Witch Books!

I wasn't sure I was going to love this one when it started. It seemed like it might read a little slow.But I'm so glad I stuck it out. Wonderful story,wonderful character, wonderful author.

Slow burn

I love reading books like this to bring in my fall. Not the cozy hallmark book I thought it was going to be but good none the less. I gobbled up the story quickly. And absolutely loved the narration! I loved the historical backing of some of the witchy things and actually enjoyed the fact that though it was a love story it wasn’t about flaming passion. I hope the author writes more books like this it is my first time reading one of her novels so I will be looking for more. So if you’re looking for a book to snuggle up under your favorite blanket with chose this one it’s like hocus pocus meets practical magic with the warmth of Encanto mixed in!

Cute cozy fall read

Johnson's books always contain good stories but it's her voice that makes them special. Her humor is great and I particularly like her passing references to other authors and traditions. No belaboring, just a word here and there and you're reminded of any from Terry Pratchett's witches to particular details in historical events.

so much fun

This book feels like a warm cup of tea after some really steamy sex! It's the perfect combination of cozy and sexy. This will be a repeat listen!

Was a bit disappointed at the beginning because I really was t connecting with the characters or story but I started getting into it after about the bird chapter. I really enjoyed. Will be reading the sequel.

Really cute and heartwarming story
