Synopsis

​I used to not believe in witches.  Until I enrolled in Dr. Alondra Johansen's metaphysical history class. Bryce, Alondra's super cute teaching assistant, told me my element sign is Earth. I am, in fact, a pragmatic sort of girl. My name is Cadence Hawthorne, but you can call me Katie. Darkness fell over me and my family during my sophomore year. I thought maybe Alondra could help me with my grief and visions of ghosts. But there was this guy working with her, with a goatee and sardonic smile, who looked more like the devil than a professor. He did terrible things to my best friend, threatening my growing love for Bryce. Do you believe in ghosts? How 'bout witches? I do. See, it was at Hawthorne University that I learned all about them. Come take a look in my grimoire. I wrote it all down here in Broomstick.
Content warning: Broomstick is a new adult college paranormal romance containing profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.

I think this is meant to be a sexy book? It is not sexy. There is a lot of focus on virginity and non consensual sex. I think it's meant to be about a young woman finding her voice and power but that falls flat. The characters are flat. The story doesn't make sense in places. It thinks it's more cle......more

Goodreads review by Andra

Broomstick is a page-turner, which is surprising given its setting is a college in Atlanta, Georgia. It is full of suspense, secrets, some romance, and action, just not the physical kind. There is a bit of a philosophical edge as the main character, who people call Katie even though her name is Cade......more

Goodreads review by Kathy

This was quite possibly one of the stupidest books I've ever read. I want the hours I spent with this book back! To begin, the author tries to write in present tense. Writing in present tense is extremely difficult to pull off by even the most accomplished writers, and this author falls so tragicall......more
