Love Spells Trouble is a fun witchy contemporary about family and love. I’ve been a fan of Nia Davenport or NE Davenport for a while now. So I knew I had to read this one! Keep reading this book review of Love Spells Trouble for my full thoughts.
Summary
Cayden is well aware of that: her witch mom was shunned by her high-society parents when she fell in love with Cayden’s human dad. Now, the family business is in trouble due to wealthy witches gentrifying her historic Texas neighborhood. So Cayden is appalled when she realizes she unknowingly went on a date with Coven it-boy Khy Carter. But when her father’s bakery has an influx of new customers, she realizes Khy might just be a solution to her family’s problems: Cayden absolutely cannot be with a Coven boy, but that doesn’t mean she can’t pretend to be.
Suddenly, Cayden is thrown into the Coven system she grew up despising, but it turns out embracing the witchy side of herself is actually…fun. As she spends more time with Khy, their fake dating starts to feel like real feelings. And even though she’s doing this for her family, Cayden knows she’s also betraying them. Her parents may have put love before everything else, but is Cayden willing to do the same?
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Love Spells Trouble promises witchy fake dating. What I loved was how Davenport explores whether they can make their relationship work. It’s not just that Cayden is a witch, but considering her family’s past, can their two worlds mesh? Khy comes from legacy and fame whereas Cayden’s family has left the formal witch community. Not only does this divide exist – and the press and fame – but also Cayden is convinced not to fall in love before she goes off to college. In Love Spells Trouble Cayden has to realize that sometimes the best laid plans go astray and that people can surprise us.

People can change and so can institutions if people want to make the change happen. Love Spells Trouble is like second chances for a lot of people. It’s a testament to second chances, to knowing people can change, and for opening ourselves up. We will only see people change if we are looking. With the catching feels, Love Spells Trouble has this cute contemporary premise while also introducing themes of wondering if people can change.
