Imagine escaping the Salem witch trials of 1692 only to find yourself more than three hundred years in the future, surrounded by magical beings, modern conveniences, and possibilities you never dreamed existed. That’s the wonderfully imaginative premise of A Witch in Time, the sixth book in Allie McCormack’s The Magic of Wishes & Dreams series. Rebecca Castellano is a young Spanish Catholic woman whose independence, heritage, and valuable farmland have made her a target in a community consumed by suspicion and fear. When a mysterious family heirloom brings a mischievous young Djinn named Remi to her rescue, Rebecca finds herself transported to present-day New York’s Hudson Valley. What follows is an enchanting paranormal romance filled with humor, friendship, danger, and the unexpected joys of discovering a place where you can finally belong.

Rebecca, who soon becomes known as Becca, is an immensely appealing heroine. She’s resourceful, intelligent, compassionate, and refreshingly practical, even when confronted with things that challenge everything she’s ever understood about the world. McCormack has particular fun exploring Becca’s introduction to modern life, from cell phones and contemporary clothing to changing social customs. Her reactions feel wonderfully natural, mixing wide-eyed amazement with curiosity, occasional embarrassment, and a determination to learn. There’s also something especially touching about her attachment to the land and her love of growing things. Gardening has always been a source of comfort and purpose for Becca, and that connection remains an important part of her identity as she navigates her extraordinary circumstances. Through her experiences, McCormack captures the excitement of discovery while giving readers plenty of reasons to smile.

The romance between Becca and Jake Malloy, a handsome wolf shifter with a protective streak and a generous heart, develops with an appealing mixture of tenderness, attraction, and genuine companionship. Jake understands that Becca comes from a world with very different expectations, and his patience and consideration make their growing connection especially satisfying. Their relationship is built through shared experiences, affectionate conversations, and thoughtful gestures that reveal how much they’re coming to mean to each other. McCormack gives the romance room to breathe, allowing the emotional intimacy to grow alongside the physical attraction. Becca’s increasing confidence is particularly rewarding to watch, especially as she discovers that love and independence can exist comfortably together.

One of the novel’s greatest pleasures is its lively supernatural community. Djinn, witches, shapeshifters, vampires, and other magical beings inhabit a world that feels welcoming, colorful, and full of personality. Jacinth, Katerina, Alessandra, and the many friends who embrace Becca bring warmth and humor to the story, creating a wonderfully affectionate found family. Their banter and everyday interactions make the extraordinary feel comfortably familiar. McCormack also introduces a compelling threat connected to Becca’s past, adding suspense and urgency to her new life. The contrast between the restrictive society she escaped and the possibilities available to her in the present gives the story emotional depth, while its magical adventures keep the pages turning.

With its engaging heroine, charming romance, inventive supernatural world, and delightful touches of humor, A Witch in Time is a thoroughly enjoyable escape for readers who appreciate paranormal romance with heart. McCormack’s storytelling is warm and generous, particularly in the way she celebrates friendship, kindness, personal freedom, and the courage to embrace change. Fans of the series will enjoy reconnecting with familiar characters, while newcomers will find plenty to appreciate in Becca’s remarkable journey. At its heart, this is a story about reclaiming your future, discovering your own strength, and finding love in the most unexpected circumstances. “With a little magic, a whole lot of heart, and a heroine worth cheering for, A Witch in Time proves that sometimes the greatest adventure is finding the life you were always meant to live.”
