About this listen

Once a year, the town of Ravenscroft celebrates the winter solstice by watching the Oak King symbolically slay the Holly King to ensure the death of winter. To most people, it’s a pagan ritual that has lost all meaning in the modern world, harmless fun during the week of Christmas. To the coven who founded the town, it’s a magic so important they entrusted it to the two strongest witches in generations.

Will Battle and Chester Sibley are opposites in every way, or so Ravenscroft residents insist. Quiet, polite Will is the town’s beloved adopted son, popular and admired. Defiant, outspoken Chester is disliked and avoided despite being a direct descendant of the town’s founders. It’s no wonder Will is the embodiment of spring and life as the Oak King and Chester was given the cold, dark Season of Holly.

No one in town seems to realize their nice, well-mannered Oak King has iron at his core and their fearsome Holly King only wants to make people happy. Perhaps that’s also why not even the other witches suspect that Chester has been in love with Will for almost his entire life. That’s how Chester wants it. He might dream of Will, but he’s learned to keep his dreams to himself.

The trouble is Will. For all that he smiles and nods, Will has started quietly rebelling against both the town and the coven. With only days until the winter solstice, he issues Chester a challenge—to finally ask for what he wants. If Chester tells the truth, he risks losing Will and upsetting the ritual that has made the town prosperous. But there is more between them than magic, no matter how powerful or ancient, and Chester would do anything for Will, even, just maybe, coming in from the cold.

Winter/Yule romance

I loved this story before and enjoying this new audio version. If you like witchy boys who have trouble expressing their feelings for each other but get it figured out in the end, them you will enjoy Will and Chester' s story as well as the other books in R Cooper' s familiar spirits series. They share a world but do not need to be read in order as the story arcs are distinct in each one.

Cosy and hot

In reality, it was 90° outside while I was listening to this book, and in my head, it managed to transport me to the middle of December. It was delightful.

Holly & Oak - Equinoxes Unite

Christopher Patton is my favorite narrator of R Cooper's stories. His reading brings the story to life and paints unique characters. (He also read His Mossy Boy and I hope he'll be able to read more.)
Cooper's Familiar Spirits series tells the tales of mystical forces and individuals centered around the solemn seasons of the year. Each story brings two beings together in love and healing from the difficulties of their lives. They are sweet and cozy and take the reader on a satisfying journey from solirary to happily ever after. ❤️
