4.5Hexen & Piraten 🏴☠️
Charlotte muss sich mit ihrem ärgsten Feind, dem Pirat Alex zusammentun, um ein magisches Amulett zurück zu erobern… Enemies-to-Lovers, Froced Proximity und dieser ganz spezielle Humor lassen grüßen. Herrlich, voller Action, Spannung und Witz, gerade was die alten Ladies und ihre Prioritäten betrifft! Einfach super originell, auch was die fliegenden Häuser angeht. Wobei mich Alex sehr überrascht hat, als es bei ihm ans Eingemachte ging. Zum Teil ist es etwas unübersichtlich mit all den Namen, aber es macht einfach nur Spaß in diese Welt einzutauchen und sich diesem ganz eigenen Charme hinzugeben🥰 Jeder der Hexen, Piraten, historische Romance und einiges an Witz in einer Geschichte sucht, wird hier definitiv fündig 😉❤️
