The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people. Thankfully, as a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she and her assistant, Caz—a magically sentient spider plant—have spent the last decade sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite.
When a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz flee with all the spellbooks they can carry and head to a remote island Kiela never thought she’d see again: her childhood home. Taking refuge there, Kiela discovers, much to her dismay, a nosy—and very handsome—neighbor who can’t take a hint and keeps showing up day after day to make sure she’s fed and to help fix up her new home.
In need of income, Kiela identifies something that even the bakery in town doesn’t have: jam. With the help of an old recipe book her parents left her and a bit of illegal magic, her cottage garden is soon covered in ripe berries.
But magic can do more than make life a little sweeter, so Kiela risks the consequences of using unsanctioned spells and opens the island’s first-ever and much needed secret spellshop.
Like a Hallmark rom-com full of mythical creatures and fueled by cinnamon rolls and magic, The Spellshop will heal your heart and feed your soul.
Meena’s Vibe Note:
Like herbal tea for the soul—this book feels like warm sunlight through lace curtains. A top pick for our dreamy cottagecore girls.

from 42 reviewsThe packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.
This was packed so sweetly with bunch of goodies (made me smile indeed)love this book and had to buy in pb. Lovely store 🖤
Packaged with care in the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen! Will definitely be purchasing from here again and highly recommend!

Ambia went over and beyond in the presentation and packaging of my order. Completely blown away! It was like opening up a box of sunshine—so grateful and impressed. Thank you. Will definitely be shopping here again! 🖤

Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
