A Dark and Secret Magic is an enchanting blend of fantasy, mystery, and romance that immediately drew me into its richly imagined world. The story follows Hecate, a hedge witch who discovers her coven has been keeping secrets from her. Kate thought she knew the extent of her magic until a handsome necromancer, Matthew, helps her access her untapped power. With immersive writing, Kinney expertly balances moments of tension with poignant character development. Kate whips up so much delicious food in the story and I was thrilled to find the recipes at the end of the book. This cozy little gem is THE book to read in autumn!
