Witchcraft Couture by Katarina West + Giveaway | Fiction Friday

I love to read books and that’s a fact and I always get excited to talk about my recent reads. Which makes it so difficult to write a review without spoiling the story.

For this week’s Fiction Friday, I would like to share what I just recently finished reading. I thought I’d share it immediately so that everything is still fresh in my brain.

The book is called Witchcraft Couture written by Katarina West. What attracted me to this book is that it is about fashion and witchcraft, which are two genres I am always fascinated about. This book is very different from what I normally would read as I tend to gear towards the young adult section. Yes, I know I need to grow up!

Witchcraft Couture is about a story of the rise and fall of an Italian fashion designer called Federico a.k.a. Oscar Pellegrini. The story is written in a diary form by Oscar which makes it very intimate for the reader to get a peak of what is going on inside Oscar’s head and how he sees the world.

After reading this book I was able to understand how the fashion industry works and i must say it is very enchanting.

I cannot praise this book enough and much more to the author, Katarina West. The book is very well written, and thought of. There must have been a lot research done not just about fashion, but also about history, and art. This book is so unique and magical and you can get lost in the pages very easily.

You may not know this but I normally read my books on my Iphone whilst travelling to and from work. Funny enough, I literally was walking down the sidewalk reading this! It’s that good – you wouldn’t want to put it down until you finished. And when I finally did, I had goosebumps. This story will make you rethink and question things. I know this is fiction as the book clearly states, but I am thinking - could it be real? Why was this written? I still think about it even up to now.

I highly recommend Witchcraft Couture. It is a good read and I am 100% sure that you will love it too. I definitely would love to read more novels from Katarina West in the future and I hope she would write tons.
