4.2 out of 5 stars 232 ratings

A rakish priest is attempting to reform the wicked witch of Kriegspiel. He's about to get more than he bargained for...


Witch Erin Green seeks freedom far from the controlling machinations of her uncle, a priest. Becoming a professor at the University of Kriegspiel was supposed to be her fresh start, but the Church of the Cloth is at it again. To encourage the compliance and regulation of witches the church will utilize pairing ceremonies to bind these free-spirited women in marriage to their priests.

To make up for past misdeeds, Chancellor Ren Boaz steps in to help the beguiling new professor remain unwed. After all the hearts his rakish ways have left broken, will the wicked witch of Kriegspiel turn out to be Ren’s just deserts? Or maybe just dessert?

    4.0 out of 5 stars A steamy witchy historical romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Please tell me... how is this possible? I just cried, got flustered and blushed with less than 200 pages.

    ~ I grown up in a Catholic country, people! Priests were not supposed to be scoundrels that do boxing and get hungry for their women! And I love when a witch is so sensitive to her natural needs like walking bare foot and other things

    ~ I have learned that I love scoundrel priests. There, I said it! Specially when they get possessive for the first time! Oh Ren!
    I probably love even more when a witch shows such an inclination to the natural calling Erin did frustrated me a bit, but damn! I fell for her

    ~ Erin is ostracized for being a woman and a witch. Will she keep her independence, be respected for her research and still feel free to love a man? All this without being forced to be paired as the church demands?

    ~ Welcome to a Gaslamp romance series! Where each book focuses in a different couple 😎 HEA for all!

    ~ I certainly learned many new words and I'm not mad!

    ✨The Wicked Witch of Kriegspiel✨

    Prater never fails to bring a good story and this one was no different.

    The first of the Witches of Kliegspiel interconnected stand-alone series (I read them backwards), we follow the POV of Ren Boaz, chancellor of a college where priests rule and witches “take part”. However, Ren doesn’t think that way and supports witches and when he walks into his study to find one reading his books, he finds himself in a new predicament.

    Doing his best to protect Erin from the young men who like taking advantage of witches, Ren houses Erin in his suite. But from there he learns her past and more.

    TWWOK is a gaslamp Romantasy that focus on mental health rep, comfort, and a relationship between two beings who find themselves facing what they said they’d never do.

    There is so much delicious steam and banter in these pages that you’re certain to find yourself giggling and rooting for the main character. The stakes are low in the plot department but high in the heart category. Not to mention, Prater is always so thoughtful, realistic, and meticulous in her mental health representations, which I love.

    Tropes you may find are banter banter banter, steam to spice 3/5, forced proximity, anxiety and ptsd rep, witches and priests, he washes her hair, he falls first and harder, she has a plant problem, wrapped up ending, and unusual magics.

    I know I can always turn to Prater when I need an uplift of the heart. Thank you for that!

    This story ticks all the boxes for things I love in books. Main characters who are adults, with well defined career paths, fully flushed out personalities and just enough past trauma to make them believable. Ren and Erin have amazing banter when they are together. I absolutely love how Ren dealt with Erin’s past. He uses a smaller version of the 5-4-3-2-1 method for anxiety and I always applaud real life techniques used in books! Overall this was a great book find and I definitely recommend it. I will for sure keep reading this series! Solid 4.5 stars from me.

    3.0 out of 5 stars a problematic heroine
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I loved the world Prater set up in this book, with highly gendered roles in a society of witches and priests, and where priests held control in marriages. I liked the general characters of Ren and Erin as protagonists. But I struggled a great deal with a particular action of Erin’s.

    Trying not to spoil it, let’s just say that Erin does something, repeatedly, that’s a variant of control that was forced on her. I struggled with reconciling her furious need for independence and management of her life with what she did. For me, it really undermined the character and moved her into the realm of hypocrisy.

    Ren is a great hero, but his ability to drop everything for Erin over and over seemed not to fit with his demanding job of university chancellor. He was perfect for Erin, and I enjoyed the lightness and joy she brought to his life.

    I’d read more by Prater because I loved the world established in The Wicked Witch of Kriegspiel. I hope in future books the characters’ actions make better sense to me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read!
    Reviewed in India on January 14, 2022

    4.5 rounded up to 5! This was a really fun and fresh read 🤍

    The setting of this book was so cool! This is a medieval fantasy story, BUT it happens in an academic setting. The FMC is a witch and a professor at a university, and the MMC is a priest/witch and the chancellor of the same university. A fair amount of this book discusses academia and publishing research in magic, scientific investigation of magic to cure illnesses etc., and that was extremely refreshing to read!

    The MCs were really cool as well. The book is completely narrated by the MMC Ren - while the priests are traditionally against witches in this world, Ren is totally progressive, and he actively uses his position of power to help witches and promote their research, which was very positive to read!

    The romance was cool as well, and it included a lot of conversations about consent, free will etc. Overall, a very unique and fun book!
