Book: Cures & Conjurations: A Cozy Urban Fantasy with a Slow-Burn MM Romance
Reviewed by Sheila Lopez
Rating: 5/5
Cures & Conjurations was such a cozy, interesting, and funny paranormal read with an m/m romance. Elliot is a doctor trying to start over in Silver Ridge, a small town unlike any place he has known before. I really liked the mix of magical medical cases, cozy small town moments, and the mystery involving the shifters.
Elliot was easy to like because he was sweet, caring, and a little lonely. I wanted to see him find people who would make him feel less alone. He had no idea what he was getting himself into at first, which made his journey even more fun to follow.
Then Noodle came into his life, and I adored that sarcastic little snake. His sarcasm and obsession with snacks gave us so many funny moments, but I also loved how he became Elliot’s partner in crime, teaching him and staying by his side.
I really liked Jesse and Elliot together. Jesse was protective, deeply devoted, funny, and such a flirt, and I loved the way he cared for Elliot. Hazel was another character I absolutely adored. She was fearless, direct, loyal, and brought so much fun into every scene she was part of.
Ruby, Bear and Ron, Olive, Camden, and the rest of the paranormal residents made Silver Ridge feel warm and welcoming. I loved the found family and the message that Elliot did not need to save the world or become a perfect hero. He only needed to be himself, share his light, and let others share theirs with him.
If you enjoy a cozy paranormal story with an m/m romance, magical creatures, found family, humor, and a small town full of magic, I think you will enjoy this one.
