27-BOOK FEATURING ONE OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINSThe Vine WitchLuanne G. SmithFantasy31Library- Print★★4/15/20204/19/2020256It was an interesting premise. It was a little slow at times and the romance was just kindof planted into it. It was kind of like ... "time passed, we worked together, now we love each other" which doesn't really work for me. But I enjoyed the way the magic worked and the way the world was created.
