Absolute Demon (Hollows Book 19)
Kim Harrison
by Lucy Jane Wood
Belladonna Blackthorn is a witch in crisis. Between the grueling demands of running her struggling shop, Lunar Books, and the suffocating pressure of a toxic workplace, Belle’s inner magic has flickered into a distant memory. Just as she reconciles herself to a mundane existence, her thirtieth birthday triggers a high-stakes ultimatum: the coven demands she prove her worthiness or face the permanent stripping of her powers.
With only the month of October to reclaim her craft, Belle finds herself in a race against time, forced to reconcile her forgotten potential with the crushing expectations of her heritage. Her journey is complicated by an unlikely support system, including an infuriatingly stoic coven watchman tasked with overseeing her trial. As the boundaries between his duty to the coven and his growing connection to Belle blur, their friction ignites a tension that is as volatile as her fading magic.
Surrounded by a circle of fiercely loyal friends and the pressure of an looming magical judgment, Belle must navigate a path of self-discovery. In this atmospheric and cozy tale, she learns that the most dangerous trial of all is trusting her own strength to save the life she has built.
Devin SeslerI love this book so much.
"Absolutely zero spice but this book is everything I wanted and didn’t know I needed in a book. It was absolutely beautiful. The romance is very background compared to everything but honestly that makes it sweeter. I can’t recommend it enough. Top read of the year so far for me. ["

KatieWarm, unique, worth a read!
"This was a cute and quick read! Fast-paced, fleshed out characters, and a really unique plotline and story, I enjoyed reading this in the morning with my coffee or tea. I only wish I had read it in Fall, because that's what this book feels like: Autumn, from the rich reds and yellows of the changing leaves, to the spiced cinnamon whatever-hot-drink being served. Overall, worth a read! ["

KarellyYes, yes, yes!
"Need to heal your inner child? Then def buy this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m always the worst describing books I love. Mostly because they make my heart feel things and then I just get all ‘stop, you need to read this’ because it’s hard to put into words how I felt. This book felt like the sound of fall leaves under people’s shoes, felt like the weight and warmth of that chunky or fuzzy soft blanket you love, it felt like the kiss on the head your older loved one gives you any time your seating at the table. It made me feel like I can still do good with my life (ok am I overreacting? Idk lol anyways) I def related to Belle in different ways (many of us probably) and without giving spoilers, gave me the feels and reminded me of what I should be doing more often. I made cinammon rolls and ate them all through the reading of this book because I just neeeded to feel what I was feeling vibe was w this book haha ALSO- I read Rune as if he was Geralt from The Witcher (played by Henry Cavill) and.. it was very nice to imagine Rune like that haha ["
