--------------------

Witch Please was such a cute, wholesome-yet-spicy romance featuring a witch and the regular mundane she falls in love with. Danica Waterhouse comes from a long line of witches. Stuck in the middle of a feud between her grandmother, who wants to make sure the Waterhouse witch bloodline continues, and her mother, who married a mundane and wants Danica to find love, Danica spends most of her days trying not to think of either. She works at Fix-It Witches with her cousin, Clementine, using her magic to quickly fix whatever broken down appliances their customers bring in. But then Titus Winnaker, owner of Sugar Daddy’s bakery, comes in for a repair and neither Danica or Titus will ever be the same. For Titus, Danica is the one. For Danica, Titus is a fantasy that her grandmother will never let her have. But as Titus and Danica get closer and their relationship grows, secrets about the Waterhouse witches will be revealed that will change everything Danica thought she knew about her future.

I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook version of Witch Please. The writing itself was cute, playful, and full of instant attraction. Danica was a joy to hear about; even stuck in a precarious spot between her mother and grandmother, Danica found her way to her impossible happily ever after. And Titus was such a hoot to listen to; an inexperienced believer, Titus was a soft cinnamon roll character aptly nicknamed the Cinna-man by Danica and her friends. Both the main and supporting characters were fantastic and well-rounded. If you’re looking for a beta hero, Titus should be on the top of your list. 

I thought Ava Lucas did a fantastic job at narrating both Danica and Titus’s points of view. This story could have shined even brighter with a male narrator for Titus, as Lucas went a bit monotone whenever she tried to reach Titus’ lower voice (but, honestly, I think I loved Titus even more because his humor sounded a bit more flat). But Lucas did a great job at distinguishing between all the characters; I could easily tell if Danica was speaking, or Titus, or Clem, or Gran. Lucas had a good cadence, and the words were crisp and clean and easy to follow. Chapter breaks were obvious, but were only designated by saying the chapter number without any additional sound effects or noises. 

I loved hearing Danica and Titus come to life in this audiobook. Once I started listening, I found every opportunity to get more listening in, needing to hear Titus and Danica get their happily ever after. Ann Aguirre’s words were cute and bubbly-sweet, and Ava Lucas did a wonderful job bringing this cast of characters to life.

I received an audiobook listening copy of Witch Please from Dreamscape Media via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
