Okay, confession time: I'm officially addicted to Milly Taiden's Whispering Pines series. This book? Pure magic (literally).

Tabitha's journey hit differently - city witch inheriting a mysterious small-town house? YES. That fake engagement trope with bear shifter Bram? *chef's kiss* The chemistry had me blushing like I was the one being courted.

What I love most? These books are like literary comfort food. Predictably delightful like Hallmark movies, but with way more growly shifters and witchy shenanigans. That scene where Bram saves her from the puddle? SWOON.

Pro tip: Don't start reading at night unless you're prepared to lose sleep. The mystery elements had me flipping pages way past bedtime. That magical inheritance plot twist? Didn't see it coming!

PS - If anyone knows where I can find my own Whispering Pines (and maybe a Bram lookalike), slide into my DMs.
