NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "Lush with secrets, magic, and a past that won't stay where it belongs, this novel is (quite fittingly) spellbinding."-JODI PICOULT, author of Wish You Were Here
A deeply atmospheric story about ancestral magic, an unsolved murder, and a second chance at true love
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: She Reads
Emery Blackwood's life changed forever the night her best friend was found dead and the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of murdering her. Years later, she is doing what her teenage self swore she never would: living a quiet existence on the misty, remote shores of Saoirse Island and running the family's business, Blackwood's Tea Shoppe Herbal Tonics & Tea Leaf Readings. But when the island, rooted in folklore and magic, begins to show signs of strange happenings, Emery knows that something is coming. The morning she wakes to find that every single tree on Saoirse has turned color in a single night, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past that the town has tried desperately to forget.
August knows he is not welcome on Saiorse, not after the night everything changed. As a fire raged on at the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, shaking the bedrock of their tight-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother's ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from his past that has never healed-Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises spanning generations threaten to reveal the truth behind Lily's mysterious death once and for all.

The perfect mixture of murder mystery, folklore, magic and betrayal!
A place of magic, folklore and lies. A place in which everyone knows everyone but the comfort of that is disturbed by everybody carrying secrets. Adrienne Young has done it again! Spells For Forgetting was such an atmospheric read. The whole book felt like being wrapped up in a blanket of mist and dark cottagecore and I was absolutely here for it. The story is set close to Samhain, which really added to the atmosphere, too. I cannot talk about the vibe this book gave off enough, it was very comforting to me. The element of magic was executed brilliantly in this book. I loved how it (mostly) wasn’t over the top and so close to how it is still practiced today: folklore, family tradition and generational witches, herbalists and healers. The way the story unfolds itself into a spiral of secrets and lies was very interesting and exciting to follow. I really liked the way things were slowly starting to make sense as the protagonists pieces puzzle pieces of happenings together. The romance in this book was a good addition and was beautiful to witness. One of the oldest of Saoires’ legends says that if you leave the island, it’ll always call you back. And somehow, I really believe that while the island cannot call me back, this book will still stick with me. -

Heavily atmospheric and rich in folklore!
Adrienne Young is for sure an author, who wrote herself into my heart. With every book of hers, she manages to perfect her storytelling, the detail in character- and world-building as well as the subtle evocation of certain states of emotion. With "Spells For Forgetting", I especially enjoyed that the setting was treated as a living and breathing being with a heart and mind of itself. While reading, I could almost hear the crushing of leaves under my feet and smell the unmistakable scent of herbs, potions and salty seawater. As Saiorse Island serves as such a strong backbone to the plot, it is absolutely no surprise that Adrienne Young is really hitting her story home with regard to its reading ambience and the underlying murder mystery. To top it all off, the slow-burn romance between August and Emery is far from insta-love and predictable clichées. It is truly heart-wrenching to watch them both grow close together again and I was rooting so much for them as a reader that I rushed through the second half of the book to finally find out what really happened the night Lilly died.
