An Ancient Witch’s Guide to Modern Dating is a cozy supernatural romance about a witch in the 17th century who is transported forward in time to modern times. It’s lighthearted and funny. It kept me reading with quirky elements like talking cats and spell craft. It’s a slow-paced romantic comedy that tackles online dating and hot veterinarians that might be warlocks. While the romance is sweet, the fish-out-of-water comedy is what drives this narrative. I liked the premise and comedy, but it didn’t satisfy my hope for a romance with a lot of tension. I would recommend it to public libraries and readers who want a comedy with a little bit of romance.
