I absolutely adored meeting Aurelia and Jules in The Wycherleys last year and was eagerly awaiting this sequel. Now I have adored this continuation of their story and am awaiting the third…but what an incredible series to get lost within.
If you haven’t discovered the magic of this series, then do read my review of book 1 and find a way to read it. Love and Other Curses publishes this week so not long to wait!

In this book, Aurelia and Jules are heading to Neoards Coven College to find a path to their future, knowing they will always be together but needing to find which coven they wish to belong to. Throughout the course of their year, they will tour the six covens and see where they feel a pull but more importantly they will need to form their own coven to fight the untethered from the first book.
While there is danger, there is also dancing, love and magic and I absolutely love the couples, both the ones who tether their magic and the ones who also find love. Aurelia’s power is extraordinary and she is the one this world needs, cursed or not.
Still with echoes of Bridgerton and an old world charm and charisma, the society in which they belong is phenomenal to read about and feel part of. Think steamy library scenes, fierce protective love for each other and their coven and a danger lurking constantly…what more can you want from a book?!?
