3.75⭐️ – Spellfire by Agatha Willow A sweet, chaotic sapphic witchy romance with serious grown-up Sabrina vibes Bryn has worked hard to put her awkward and embarrassing years at Grimoire Academy behind her, focusing instead on building a career as a successful spell-book author. But when her favourite professor dies and unexpectedly leaves her his entire book collection, Bryn is forced to return to the Academy herself — bringing back far more memories than she’d planned on revisiting. She’s hoping to keep a low profile and leave as quickly as possible, only to immediately run into Amelia Hexford: newly minted headmistress of the Academy and Bryn’s first serious crush from her school days — a secret that was very publicly exposed during lunch once, much to her mortification. This makes the reunion one that feels pretty awkward for Bryn. As it turns out, Amelia is under immense pressure, and despite Bryn having no teaching experience, she’s persuaded to temporarily cover the classes left behind by the deceased professor. What follows is a mix of clashes with the school governors, a rediscovered attraction between Bryn and Amelia, and Bryn’s internal struggle over whether to embrace this new life or hold onto the publishing dreams she once had for herself. 
This book was sweet, awkward, a little chaotic, and completely charming. The mutual support between Bryn and Amelia, the found family of fellow teachers, and the genuinely lovely students Bryn connects with in her after-school class all combine to make this such a comforting, joyful read. A perfect witchy escape that I’d love more of! #spellfire #agathawillow #magicalrealism #bookreview #booktok
