Death Meets Cute (Standard Edition)

By J. Penner

"Filled with so much love, heart, and delicious baked goods." --Rebecca Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

I am more than capable of being evil today. I think...

Iris Weyward wants to be bad. Truly bad. Terrifyingly, gloriously villainous. But after helping her sisters unleash a spell to throw the realm into chaos, Iris is left feeling strangely empty--and still not the villain of her dreams. So, she sets off for the quiet town of Fraywell to build her wicked legacy alone.

Things start promisingly: a crooked little cottage, a reputation for curses and potions, and a healthy dose of fear from the locals. But when her ogre bodyguard disappears, Iris needs new muscle. Good thing a fearsome orc just toppled over in her yard. Naturally, she decides to reanimate him. It's a perfect solution.

Only, Talon isn't the brooding warrior she was hoping for. He's gentle. He bakes. Worst of all, he's nice. But Iris can't possibly have a thing for her new employee. She's supposed to be the most wicked witch in town

While Iris struggles to turn Talon into the enforcer she deserves, her sisters arrive seeking help--their magic is fading, and the cause may be closer than any of them realize. The timing couldn't be worse, and falling for an orc wasn't supposed to be part of her villain era, but it might turn out to be the best spell she's ever cast...

Good option when you want a comfy easy read

A decent quick read. Has a cozy romance with a witch/orc tale to it. Is an easy and bit predictable read. Would be good when you want something to read that doesn’t make you over think too much. Is a story about a witch, iris, that is one of three sisters. They wish to be evil but are having issues getting along. So iris leaves them and starts a life on her own. After a year, a mysterious orc comes to her door and dies and that’s the beginning of the tale. Our take follows iris in trying to figure out what she wants and needs in life. All this while dealing with her smart allick hedge hog familiar and problematic magic. Now… what to do with a dead orc, well… half orc. Arc read
