Description
Guy Shadowfade is dead, and after a lifetime as the dark sorcerer’s right-hand, Violet Thistlewaite is determined to start over—not as the fearsome Thornwitch, but as someone kind. Someone better. Someone good.
The quaint town of Dragon’s Rest, Violet decides, will be her second chance—she’ll set down roots, open a flower shop, keep her sentient (mildly homicidal) houseplant in check, and prune dark magic from the twisted boughs of her life.
Violet’s vibrant bouquets and cheerful enchantments soon charm the welcoming townsfolk, though nothing seems to impress the prickly yet dashingly handsome Nathaniel Marsh, an alchemist sharing her greenhouse. With a struggling business and his own second chance seemingly out of reach, Nathaniel has no time for flowers or frippery—and certainly none for the intriguing witch next door.
When a mysterious blight endangers every living plant in Dragon’s Rest, Violet and Nathaniel must work together, through their fears, pasts, and growing feelings for one another, to save their community. But with a figure from her previous life knocking at her door and her secrets threatening to uproot everything she’s worked so hard to grow, Violet can’t help but wonder…does a former villain truly deserve a happily-ever-after?

Mörderische Pflanze, grumpy Apotheker, Blumenladen, Magie, Ladenschilder-Sprüchekrieg, - best of cosy fantasy
Der Debutroman von Emily Krempholtz war alles, was ich mir bei cosy Fantasy wünsche ☺️ und verzauberte Pflanzen wie eine mörderisch Pothos kriegen mich immer! Es ließ sich sehr leicht und entspannt lesen, das Buch ist super süß gestaltet und ich mag auch einen Rock Goblin Freund haben. Ich hab mich am Ende des Kapitels schon jedes mal auf die neuen Ladenschilder gefreut. Was mich zudem gefreut hat: queere Beziehungen und weitere Pronomenformen als nur he/him she/her sind hier in der Fantasywelt vorhanden und werden ohne sie zu betonen in die Dorfwelt eingebaut. Das seh ich leider noch zu selten. Die Klassiker-Tropes grumpy x sunshine und Chosen Family sind auch dabei 🌷🌻
