About this book

Laurel Hawthorne is juggling the heavy responsibilities of running the Moonlit Tavern alone when a mysterious, captivating stranger rescues her from a bar fight. Laurel is immediately drawn to the alluring Nerissa, believing she has found her hero. However, beneath the surface of this cozy small-town charm lies a dark secret: Nerissa is a demon bound by a cruel soul contract, sent to Starbrook specifically to steal the Hawthorne family’s precious magic.

What begins as a calculated deception quickly spirals into a volatile, forbidden romance. As they navigate their undeniable chemistry, the stakes rise to dangerous heights. Nerissa must decide between securing her own freedom and protecting the woman who has captured her heart, while Laurel faces the heart-wrenching choice of trusting a creature of the underworld or shielding her found family from a devastating betrayal.

Blending the comforting atmosphere of a magical tearoom with the high-stakes tension of hell-realms and deadly bargains, this sapphic paranormal romance is a must-read. Fans of dark-romance and intense, forbidden love will be hooked by the spicy banter and the emotional tug-of-war between these two women. Dive into this enchanting addition to the Witches of Starbrook series for a story where magic and desire collide.

Absolute must read!!

There’s witches, demons, and two FMC’s that can’t keep their hands off each other no matter how much they try 🔥 In the third book in her Witches of Starbrook series, @lavendellebooks masterfully weaves a tale that kept me up far later than I should have been. The tension, the storytelling, and the spice made finishing Tarot, Tea, and Trickery a need rather than a want, and I will be devouring the other books in this series as soon as my TBR clears up a bit!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️ )

Must read cozy romance

This series just keeps getting better and better. All the cozy small town vibes, but throw in a bisexual witch and a lesbian demon. The 3 MCs have all the reasons not to get together yet they cant stay away - so there's tension and yearning and then spice. And of course, an HEA. Loved it. )

A witchy good time!

Tarot, Tea & Trickery is an excellent addition to the Witches of Starbrook series, and this time it’s sapphic which I am so happy for! The story picks up a few months after the last book, but gets right into the attraction and romance. I really felt for Laurel. I am an eldest daughter so Juniper resonated with me maybe too much, but being an aimless millennial, Laurel’s struggle to grow up and find her magic’s purpose really got me. Nerissa is truly a great counterpoint, as her fate and life’s...
