Legend goes that long ago a Flores woman offended the old gods, and their family was cursed as a result. Now, every woman born to the family has a touch of magic.
Sage Flores has been running from her family—and their “gifts”—ever since her younger sister Sky died. Eight years later, Sage reluctantly returns to her hometown. Like slipping into an old, comforting sweater, Sage takes back her job at Cranberry Rose Company and uses her ability to communicate with plants to discover unusual heritage specimens in the surrounding lands.
What should be a simple task is complicated by her partner in botany sleuthing: Tennessee Reyes. He broke her heart in high school, and she never fully recovered. Working together is reminding her of all their past tender, genuine moments—and new feelings for this mature sexy man are starting to take root in her heart.
With rare plants to find, a dead sister who keeps bringing her coffee, and another sister whose anger fills the sky with lightning, Sage doesn’t have time for romance. But being with Tenn is like standing in the middle of a field on the cusp of a summer thunderstorm—supercharged and inevitable.

My Thoughts:
Witch of Wild Things is a story about family and magic. It is also a compelling second chance romance.
One of my favorite parts of this story was the magic. While on the surface it was similar to other stories I have read, in that each of the sisters had a gift, it was more than that. Emotions seemed to have their own magic in some cases, as well as references to old gods. I am hoping this book has a sequel and we can learn more about the gifts of the other sisters.
I also enjoyed Sage and Tenn's love story. There is something about people who fall in love as teens that is particularly sweet. I liked that Tenn was patient with her but I did get a little frustrated with their miscommunication. However, given that it started as teens I felt that was a bit more understandable.
Overall, I thought this was a really interesting story that kept me engaged! I would love to hear more about this family and the magic Raquel Vasquez Gilliland has created!
