Witchy Love: My Life as the Mate of a Powerful Witch

Once upon a time, in a magical realm filled with both good and evil, there lived a young prince named Edward. As the rightful heir to the throne, he was deeply admired by his people for his noble character and kind heart. However, fate took a dark turn when Edward became enchanted by a powerful witch named Morgana. Unlike the typical depiction of witches in fairy tales, Morgana was not an old hag with a crooked nose and warts on her face. On the contrary, she was stunningly beautiful, with long flowing hair and piercing green eyes. But behind her alluring appearance lay a sinister power that Edward was blind to.

It's one of the “EU 26 fragrances” that has to be labelled separately because of allergen potential. Best to avoid if your skin is sensitive.

It is a known fragrance allergen and as of 1st of March 2022, it has been banned in the EU due to animal studies showing a possible link to infertility in rats - so no need to panic even if you used a product before with Butylphenyl Methylpropional. You can also buy the formula in razorless shave creams, available in both Regular and Extra Strength formulas, as well as a new formula designed specifically for use on your head.

But behind her alluring appearance lay a sinister power that Edward was blind to. Morgana was known for her manipulative nature and her ability to enchant anyone who came into contact with her. She used her bewitching charms to gain control over Edward's mind, weaving a web of deceit around him.

Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is made up of 30 to 50 chemicals on average (but it can have as much as 200 components!).

If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it.

Also, if your skin is sensitive, fragrance is again not your best friend. It’s the number one cause of contact allergy to cosmetics. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse!).

A colorless or yellowish oil that's used as a fragrance. It has a spicy scent and can be found for example in basil, clove or cinnamon oil.

A 2006 in-vitro (made in the lab not on real people) study examined if clove oil is cytotoxic and found that not only clove oil but also its main constituent, eugenol is cytotoxic even at very low concentration (0.03%). It’s also one of the “EU 26 fragrances” that has to be labelled separately (and cannot be simply included in the term “fragrance/perfume” on the label) because of allergen potential. Best to avoid at least in leave-on products.

A common fragrance ingredient that has a nice floral scent and also goes by the name Lilial. It is a known fragrance allergen and as of 1st of March 2022, it has been banned in the EU due to animal studies showing a possible link to infertility (in rats - so no need to panic even if you used a product before with Butylphenyl Methylpropional).

Linalool is a super common fragrance ingredient. It’s kind of everywhere - both in plants and in cosmetic products. It’s part of 200 natural oils including lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot, jasmine, geranium and it can be found in 90-95% of prestige perfumes on the market.

The problem with linalool is, that just like limonene it oxidises on air exposure and becomes allergenic. That’s why a product containing linalool that has been opened for several months is more likely to be allergenic than a fresh one.

A study made in the UK with 483 people tested the allergic reaction to 3% oxidised linalool and 2.3% had positive test results.

A common fragrance ingredient that has a faint sweet balsamic smell. It can also be a solvent and can fight against microbes and insects very well.

As with all fragrance ingredients, citronellol can also cause allergic contact dermatitis and should be avoided if you have perfume allergy. In a 2001 worldwide study with 178 people with known sensitization to fragrances citronellol tested positive in 5.6% of the cases.

There is no known anti-aging or positive skin benefits of the ingredient. It’s in our products to make it smell nice.

Before long, Edward found himself captivated by her every word and action, unable to see the darkness that lurked beneath her impossibly smooth exterior. As the months passed, Edward's loved ones began to notice a change in his behavior. He became distant and secretive, spending more and more time with Morgana and neglecting his royal duties. Rumors started spreading throughout the kingdom about the prince's involvement with the feared witch, but no one dared to confront him for fear of Morgana's wrath. Deeply concerned for their prince, the royal council decided to seek help from a wise old sorceress named Elara. Known for her wisdom and her unwavering commitment to good, Elara was highly respected amongst both humans and the magical beings of the realm. She had faced Morgana's deceptions before and had, miraculously, managed to break free of her enchantment. Elara agreed to aid the council in their quest to save Edward, but she warned them that breaking Morgana's spell would not be easy. In order to accomplish this, Elara would have to put her own life at risk, as Morgana's powers were stronger than ever before. With their plan in place, the council arranged for a grand ball to be held at the palace. The intention was to lure Morgana to the ball, where Elara would confront her and attempt to break the spell. The night of the grand ball arrived, and the palace was filled with laughter and music. Morgana, all too aware of the plan, attended the ball, confident in her abilities to control Edward and ensure her own survival. However, Elara's long-standing knowledge of dark magic and her unwavering dedication to good prevailed. As the clock struck midnight, Elara revealed herself to Morgana, exposing her true intentions and vowing to break Edward free from her enchantment. A fierce battle ensued between the two witches, their powers colliding in a magical spectacle that left the entire ballroom in awe. With each passing minute, Elara's strength began to wane, but her determination remained unwavering. Drawing upon her last reserves of energy, Elara managed to cast a spell that broke Morgana's hold over Edward. As the spell was broken, Edward's eyes cleared, and he saw Morgana for who she truly was—a wicked witch with a heart full of darkness. With Morgana defeated and the spell lifted, Edward gratefully thanked Elara for saving him from a lifetime of darkness. From that day forward, he vowed to use his power and position for the betterment of his people, never forgetting the lessons he had learned from his encounter with the witch. The tale of Edward and Morgana serves as a cautionary lesson, reminding us to be wary of those who present themselves with charm and beauty. It teaches us the importance of looking beyond appearances and listening to our instincts, as sometimes, the most beguiling smiles hide the cruelest intentions..

I had high hopes for "Mated with a Witch" given all the positive reviews I read, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.

The chemistry between the main characters felt forced and unnatural, which made it difficult for me to connect with their supposed love story. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others who are looking for a captivating and unique paranormal romance.

"Mated with a Witch" didn't do it for me. The pacing of the story was incredibly slow, and it took too long for any significant action or development to occur. I found myself constantly losing interest and struggling to stay engaged with the plot. The writing style was also lacking, with repetitive phrases and excessive descriptions that added nothing to the story. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unrealistic. Overall, I was left unimpressed by this book and wouldn't recommend it to anyone seeking an enthralling paranormal romance.

3. Sarah - 3 stars

While "Mated with a Witch" had its moments, it ultimately fell short. The plot had potential, but it felt rushed and underdeveloped. The characters lacked depth and weren't fully fleshed out, making it difficult for me to become emotionally invested in their journey. The writing style was also mediocre, with awkward sentence structures and a lack of captivating descriptions. Although there were some intriguing aspects, I found myself wanting more from this book. It's an okay read if you're looking for a quick, light-hearted paranormal romance, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
