Twenty-eight year-old Cassie Strega can’t escape fate.

All she wants is to live a normal, quiet life delivering the babies in her small town. But when she discovers she comes from a lineage of witches, her life becomes extraordinary—in the gravely dangerous type of way.

Then, she’s reunited with her first love.

Orion, the sultry Fae warrior who broke her heart years before, is searching for a baby. Not just any baby, but the queen of the Fae who will one day lead them in their final battle against the demons determined to rule the world. The same baby who has been calling to Cassie for help in her dreams.

Fighting the intense attraction of their former blood bond, Cassie and Orion work together to find the child. But when the heartbreak that nearly destroyed Cassie nine years before looms once more, she’ll have to decide whether getting involved in the supernatural war is worth losing everything, including her life.

My Review

“Don’t be scared of the dark. Without the dark, we can’t fully appreciate the sun. Without darkness, we would never appreciate the light.”

We all know that Katie McGarry is the queen of the whimsical contemporary novel that warms our hearts. It’s something that brings us comfort. Here she delivers us something different. She dips her feet into the adult world of fantasy romance and it is magnificent.

The opening line of this novel instantly draws you in and it’s hard to put down after that. With each page comes something different to suck you fully into this novel. There are twists and turns that you’ll never see coming and it’ll amaze you that this is her first time trying out this genre. The more I read, the more this reminded me of some of our favorite fantasy romance authors. If you love Jennifer Armentrout, then you’ll love this book!

A Wicked and Beautiful Garden is a book that you need to read instantly.McGarry introduces us to a whole new world and it is stunning. It had a second chance romance that was to die for involving Fae and Witches. This swoon-worthy novel is one you definitely need to add to your tbr. It was so damn good and you won’t be disappointed.
