Review: The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys

 


Title: The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys

Series: The Witchwood Boys 

Author: C.M. Stunich 

Release Date: March 2025 



Those witch pricks betrayed me in the worst possible way.

I’m not about to run home and bake f*cking cupcakes, move on, and pretend to be happy.

I’d rather rage.

These men told me I wasn’t allowed to leave, that they’d follow me anywhere.

Well, it goes both ways, my dear stubborn husbands.

You aren’t allowed to leave, and I will do anything to enforce that.

I’ll slaughter the Hag Wytch. I’ll break our world and the Witchwoods both.

Because you were I am a villain, and I will kill the world for you.

I’m sad. Please send cockies. I mean cookies.

Not cookies baked with jizz, but actual cookies.

***includes 12,000 words of brand-new bonus material!

The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys is a reverse harem/why choose romance (meaning one woman with three men). This is a genre blending series that’s a little bit cozy, a little bit dark, a lot bit spicy, and full of love, romance, action, and fantasy. Inside, you’ll find epic battles, a woman that’s part owl god, and our world blended with a fantasy forest. This is a complete series in 4 books (this is #4).



Goodreads | Amazon 



The Arcane Taste of the Witchwood Boys is the forth & final book of the Witchwood Boys series, wrapping up Kate & Brooks & Tanner & Marlowe's story. 

Kate & her coven work on trying to seal the gate along with trying to get the Internet taken care of, teaching the new coven what they need to know, along with just trying to live their every day life - from work, to rumors- but a new curse is added to the mix. Now it's a race against time for Witchwood Coven to find answers, but magic may not be able to fix this. Will the Witchwood Coven be Ble to save not only themselves, but the world, or will the curse doom them all. 

This book took me longer to finish than I would have liked - I just didn't have as much time to read as I had hoped. But last night I pushed through the last 28% or so. 

So I really enjoyed the Witchwood Boys series - I loved seeing and learning about each of the characters as they grew. Trouble seems to find them no matter if they were in the Witchwoods or back in their little town, but I enjoyed seeing them solve and overcome everything that was sent their way - from the guys learning to survive the new decade, to them trending on the Internet, to work & dating & their friendships and bromances to their magical problems like sealing the gate & dealing with the Hag Wytch. They planned when they could and adjusted when necessary. They were definitely a force to be reckoned with. 

Although, the ending felt both rushed and drawn out (it had 6 epilogues!). It felt rushed bc the major conflict at the end just was taken care of (ok I get magic - but I feel like some details could have been shared on the how over it all. And it didn't quite make sense, but it could have just been me being overly tired & I missed something). Plus 6 epilogues is a little excessive - but by that point it was nearly 2 am and I just wanted to finish so I could sleep. 

Overall I enjoyed the book, the series & the characters. If you are looking to merge some dark paranormal why choose with cozy fantasy - which I didn't know was a thing but it perfectly describes this series - then this series is for you & was a great fall read.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 


C.M. Stunich is a socially awkward hermit chick with a fondness for bats. As both a mood reader and a mood writer, she’s into all genres - just so long as they have romance. When not writing about tattooed alpha-holes, she can be found penning alien smut or spicy slow-burn romances featuring bubble tea. If we’re talking romantasy, she’s a sucker for the cranky prince trope. Caitlin lives with her spouse in the Pacific Northwest with too many border collies and a black cat who bites (and also sees ghosts). They are all weirdly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas (especially the cat).

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
