About this listen
Meet Thorn Scarhart, a thirty-nine-year-old witch who’s having trouble finding love in the 17th century. Despite the local matchmaker’s efforts and Thorn’s arsenal of powerful love potions, she has yet to fall in love. After the disappearance of her sister and the loss of her mother, Thorn was too caught up in…well, life, to focus on dating. Now, she fears she may have missed her chance.
But, when one of her potion brews backfires spectacularly, Thorn is hurled 350 years into the future, landing in a bustling city where her once-isolated cottage is now a historical museum. While this unexpected leap through time may seem daunting, modern life does have its perks: indoor plumbing, electric kettles, and the world of online dating. At thirty-nine, the odds may not be perfect, but at least they’re not impossible.
With the help of the museum’s new curator—and her charming veterinarian brother—Thorn dives headfirst into the 21st-century dating scene. And as she searches for romance, she might also find herself along the way.
An Ancient Witch’s Guide to Modern Dating is a delightful mix of humor, heart, and a sprinkle of magic. Cozy fantasy lovers will adore this enchanting rom-com, which is a must-read for fans of Sangu Mandanna’s The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Erin Sterling’s The Ex Hex.
Critic Reviews
'Shakira Shute’s narration of a time-traveling ready-for-love witch should be listened to—if only for the internal dialogue between the witch, Thorn Scarhart, and her cat familiar, Bandit. When Thorn’s potion brings her into the 21st century, listeners will delight in the slow reveal of her true motivation for doing so. Shute uses a low, sepulchral voice for Bandit, who alternates between demanding the local veterinarian Walls’s soul and graciously allowing him to live if he provides more squeezy-pouch cat treats. In turn, Walls’s calm acceptance of Thorn is both grounding and romantic. Shute also portrays Meg, Walls’s sister, a museum curator who witnesses Thorn’s arrival. For a slightly offbeat yet enchanting listen, Shute’s narration is the cat’s meow."
