I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh so much. Sapphic witches, magic, and utterly ridiculous curses.

This is a great read if you want something fast paced to cheer you up. It’s fairly low angst, amusing as hell, and the romance is well developed.

Every book of Tiana’s I’ve read so far has nailed pacing. This was my book club’s read this month, and many of us were losing our minds waiting for book club to happen so that we could read the rest.

I’d say this is perfect for NA readers. It’s a more adult book but the characters are in college and the storyline is pretty easy to follow whilst remaining interesting for adults.

I did have some slight issues with the plot that made some things unbelievable / did feel a tad ridiculous.

There is a tiny dash of spice too.



Rep// Sapphic Filipino, German Woman MC, Sapphic Woman MC. Relationship is WLW / Sapphic.

3.5 ⭐️ Not my favourite by Stone & Billings but it was still a solid read! Spicy sapphics and fake dating are always a win.

I flew through this in a couple of days and enjoyed the story. One of the MCs I did find a bit hard to like which is why I didn’t enjoy this novel quite as much as the others.

You can read these out of order as each book follows a different character but I would suggest in order given some small plot lines that follow through to the next.

Rep// Lesbian Woman MC (27), Lesbian Woman MC (30). Central romance is WLW/Sapphic.

Spice// Multiple scenes. Spice CW’s listed below.

TW’s listed below, please skip if you don’t want vague spoilers.







General TWs// Adoption, Abuse within the adoption/foster care system (past, brief mention, off page), alcohol, past dependency on alcohol, struggles with sobriety, death from an overdose (past, off page), drunk driving (past, off page), car accident (past, off page).

Spice CWs// multiple descriptive sex scenes, bondage (restraint use like cuffs), spanking (riding crop, paddle), strap use, oral, power dynamics. ]]> ReadStatus9366776436 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:20:25 -0700 /review/show/7528805944 Emily wants to read Golden Rage Vol 1 by Chrissy Williams

Full RTC. 3.7 ⭐️ I really enjoyed the plot of this and the story itself but Ophelia was a tad infuriating at times. I think it was the naivety so severe it often felt mind boggling. ]]> Review6976314104 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:09:53 -0700 /review/show/6976314104 Emily gave 4 stars to How to Flirt with a Witch (Kindle Edition) by Tiana Warner
