★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 / 10

This is the first book in the revamped Purple Oak Oasis Series. I really enjoyed getting to know Brew (Rooibos Brewster - Tea Witch) and Katie (Katheryn Fields - Dog Ward) in this story as well as Katie's dog familiar Banjo. Their relationship was fun to see develop from being longtime friends to more. This book also had a lot of other characters that I am looking forward to getting to know better as the series continues including both Brew & Katie's siblings.

Purple Oak Oasis

  1. The Tea Witch's Promise: Brew & Katie
