The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland
Most visitors to Skerry Island see only its lush greenery, picturesque cemetery, and quaint downtown. Yet generations of local women know that on Skerry, their benevolent witchcraft is at its most powerful.
Beatrice Barnard doesn't believe in magic. She definitely doesn't believe the predictions of the celebrity psychic who claims that she will experience seven miracles and soon after she will die. When she discovers her husband is cheating on her, Bea flees to Skerry Island, off the Pacific Northwest coast, in desperate need of solitude—taking her husband's birthday vacation by herself. Immediately upon arrival, she finds her life on the line as a rogue woodchopper blade almost kills her. Her survival feels like a miracle.
And then things get more miraculous when she discovers her twin sister, Cordelia, whom she never knew about, and her mother Astrid, who supposedly died when Beatrice was two years old. Astrid and Cordelia reveal that Beatrice (given name Beatrix) is an immensely powerful witch who can commune with the dead, like all the local Holland family witches. When their twin magic is joined, it shines like a beacon to the Velamen family, whose malevolent spirits are locked in an age-old struggle for magical dominance over the Hollands.
Beatrice doesn't know what to believe, but she begins to fear that the seven predicted miracles may occur, and that her imminent death will rip her away from her rediscovered family. Beatrice resolves to learn everything she can about her own power, in the hope of saving herself. But when her niece, Minna, goes missing, Bea's own life suddenly seems much less important. Beatrice must join her mother and her sister to save Minna even if she dies in the process.

The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland by Rachel Herron
Paranormal witchy contemporary with minor romance at the end.
Beatrice Barnard accidentally runs into a celebrity psychic who then gives her a prediction of seven miracles and death. Beatrice shrugs it off. It’s all nonsense. She travels to Skerry Island after discovering her husband is cheating on her where she is mistaken for someone else. Several times. She gets the surprise of her life when she reconnects with her twin sister, whom she was told was dead. And her mother. And then extended family. If that isn’t enough to shake her foundation, she discovers magic and then the miracles. If the miracles are real, then is her predicted death as well? How do you live for today and reconnect with family knowing there’s a limit of time left?
🎧 I listened to an audiobook of this story performed by Xe Sands. The performance is jammed packed with secondary character voices and all of Beatrice’s emotions as she goes through betrayal, surprise, shock and love. Without a text copy I had a little bit of trouble following the extended family and how everyone was related but soon figured out the family tree.
I listened at 1.5 and slightly higher to be more in line with local conversation speed.
Self awareness, family, and relationships all change for Beatrice as she starts on a new path. Magic is in the universe and she learns her connection to it and family.
A bit of family sage, a bit of magical wonder, a bit of warning and a dash of the evils of the world. Pretty much a coming of age, adult style.

Though the summary to this book was misleading, I still had a good time with its rich setting, delightful characters and the message of love, magic and mircacles in all their forms.
The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland focuses on Beatrice—NOT Beatrix, as she'll insist—who goes on a trip solo after finding out her husband cheated on her to Skerry Island. Sure, she's been told (twice!) that she'll experience seven miracles and then die, but she's a logical sort of woman. She works with spreadsheets and thinks rationally, and there's nothing about that sort of omen that's rational. Except when she arrives on the island, the miracles start—and include running into a long-lost twin sister, mother, and niece.
The miracle of this story comes in its characters, who take up rich, interesting space when they're given the opportunity to show themselves. My favorites were Reno, a woman who's friendly with Beatrice's twin sister and has her own aching past—who I wish had been given more time in the spotlight of the story and more time for her lovely, quiet budding romance with Beatrice to breathe—and Minna, Beatrice's trans niece, who carries a significant amount of the plot on her shoulders.
Because the plot was sometimes oddly paced for me, and because characters sometimes seemed to make odd choices like witholding information or overexaggerating for the sake of plot, sometimes the characters acted a bit off—but when they were on, they were on, and Minna is no exception. A particularly touching part of this novel for me was carried in the idea that the Holland witches—Beatrice's family—have magic that's carried down through the women of their family, and what it means that Minna, a trans girl, carries that magic. Many magical stories that invoke gender stir these sorts of questions for the queer community, and The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland emphatically says what it believes—that trans women are women just the same as any, and magic has no bias. I adored it.
The setting was also lovely, including the cast of characters on Skerry Island, who again I wished I'd gotten more fleshed out time with. I think sometimes this story didn't exactly know what it wanted to be, and there was a bit much going on and therefore found myself pulled away from tidbits and plots in the story I wish we'd pursued more, like Beatrice's ex-husband, issues with her parents and the origin of her and her sister's split, the war their family has with another on the island—but the seeds planted must have been good that I wished we'd pursued them further.
All in all, this was a lovely queer story that, at its heart, was about love—and how that love does not end with death.

The ending of this book made me feel insane. It’s so bad and I feel so guilty because I really enjoyed 60% of this book.
Beatrice/Beatrix comes to Skerry Island on a trip after she finds out her husband has been cheating on her their entire marriage. She seems largely apathetic about it. She quickly finds out she is actually an identical twin separated during infancy.
The problem with this novel is that Beatrix is a character living without unconditional love and is desperate for it. Her father lied to her about her mother’s death and never even told her she had a twin. He sabotaged her from practicing magic her whole life but at the end he gets on a high horse about how her need for control is a moral failing.
Her mother Astrid is unrepentant about having lied that she was died and having chosen to separate the twins.
Her sister begs her to stay but seems deeply uninterested in her. She almost never asks Beatrix a question about her life before the island. And constantly expects her to understand magic but never seek understanding.
Her niece Minna uses this ignorance to manipulate Beatrix into helping her contact her father’s spirit without her mother’s knowledge.
At 80% of this novel every character turns on Beatrix. Her entire family (who shun her different and analytical way of approaching things), her budding love interest Reno and even the townspeople begin to shun her.
When was Beatrix supposed to have developed mind reading to know that the evil spirit was your dead husband all along? Was she supposed to break her nieces confidences when real transphobes who would kick out a 12 year old are out there? Her grandmother certainly isn’t the most politically correct until 99% into the novel.
When these lies ultimately culminate in Beatrix telling Minna half of a vision of a spell they all but kick her out. She of course redeems herself by dying for her niece. No one says thank you. Cordelia never apologises (because they’re sisters????). Astrid barely does. The parents decide to give it another go parent trap style and Minna half asses an apology.
And once again Beatrix finds love for what she can do for others rather than for her own sake. This time it’s magic instead of housework. Yay.
P.S. I thought that Reno was interested in her sister for at least 20% of this novel. So take that how you like.

I have some mixed feelings on this book. I liked the premise and the side characters, but I had trouble connecting to the main character. I liked the beginning and the middle of the story, but the ending lost me a bit.

Fun, engaging, quick summer read with romance, magic, and a number of LGBTQ characters. I liked the lead up more than the story’s climax but was invested enough in the characters by then to pull me through.

For fans of Sarah Beth Durst (The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse) and Sydney J Shields (The Honey Witch). This cozy sapphic fantasy/romance of found family and loss was truly enchanting. The daunting countdown and time pressure made this book feel more thrilling than other cozy fantasy books I’ve read. The characters were well developed and I was engaged the entire way.
I loved the relationship between Beatrice and Minna, it truly is special and heartwarming. There is a huge focus on navigating various family dynamics and personal reckoning and reflection. I wanted a bit more world building of Skerry Island, but I still feel like I got a very clear picture. I really enjoyed this!! Would be excited to read more from this author, and the narration was performed perfectly.

This was a cute read, this one had a twist in it that really got me invested in this book. I wish I had saved this one for spooky season as I think it would have hit a bit different. Deffo worth the read if you love witchy vibes.

This was a good beach read. I picked it up because small town queer witches sounded really great, and I feel like this book delivers pretty much what it says on the tin. If you're looking for a light, new-age witchy story with some queer rep, this will be a fun and satisfying read. I enjoyed how centered the female relationships felt, and the romance was lovely (not precisely the center of the book, which I think was the right choice here -- Beatrix's main relationship is with her family, after all).
The representation was really nice, though at the same time, I personally wish a few aspects had gone a bit deeper.
I really enjoyed the narrator though, I think she captured Beatrice/Beatrix's personality incredibly well. It was a pleasure to listen to her.

Rachael Herron's latest novel begins with perhaps the most relatable magical premise ever written: What happens when the universe insists you're destined for something extraordinary, but you're too pragmatic to believe in destiny? Beatrice Barnard—practical accountant, spreadsheet enthusiast, and firm non-believer in anything that can't be quantified—finds herself thrust into a world where psychic predictions collide with family secrets on the mystical Skerry Island.
The story opens with Beatrice discovering her husband's affair and, in a moment of defiant independence, taking their planned anniversary vacation alone to a Pacific Northwest island. Within hours of arrival, she narrowly survives what should have been a fatal accident with a rogue wood chipper blade—her first "miracle"—and soon discovers the twin sister she never knew existed, plus a mother who supposedly died when she was two years old.
The Magic That Feels Real
Herron's greatest achievement in this novel is making magic feel utterly believable and grounded in emotion rather than spectacle. The Holland family's gifts are beautifully rendered: they commune with the dead, manipulate energy through sigils, and possess an ancient understanding of the mystical forces that pool on Skerry Island. Rather than flashy spell-casting, Herron presents magic as an intimate, sometimes overwhelming connection to the world beyond the veil.
Beatrice's journey from skeptic to believer unfolds with remarkable authenticity. Her initial resistance to accepting her magical heritage feels genuine—she's spent her entire life building safety through knowledge and control, so naturally she'd resist something as unpredictable as witchcraft. When she finally experiences her first sigil working, the warmth spreading through her chest "like being hugged but from the inside," the description captures both wonder and unease with delicate precision.
The author's approach to magic draws from genuine spiritual traditions while avoiding both appropriation and the tired tropes of pointy hats and cauldrons. The Holland family grimoire, the significance of twin magic, and the ancient feud with the Velamen spirits create a mythology that feels both fresh and rooted in history.
Characters That Breathe
Beatrix (nee Beatrice): The Reluctant Witch
Herron crafts a protagonist who defies the typical "chosen one" archetype. Beatrix is thoroughly ordinary in the most extraordinary ways—she's competent, organized, and deeply committed to understanding the world through logic. Her transformation isn't a sudden personality transplant but a gradual opening to possibilities she'd never allowed herself to consider. Her evolution from Beatrice (the name she chose) to Beatrix (her birth name) symbolizes not just self-acceptance but the courage to embrace the unknown.
Cordelia: The Sister She Never Knew
The relationship between the twins forms the emotional core of the novel. Cordelia has known about Beatrix her entire life but never searched for her, carrying the guilt of this decision throughout their reunion. Their dynamic feels authentic—the immediate connection overlaid with decades of missed experiences and different worldviews. Cordelia's mastery of witchcraft contrasts beautifully with Beatrix's analytical approach, showing how the same heritage can manifest in vastly different ways.
Minna: The Fearless Future
Perhaps the most compelling character is fifteen-year-old Minna, Cordelia's transgender daughter and the seventh-generation Holland witch on Skerry Island. Herron writes Minna with remarkable depth, avoiding both tokenism and unrealistic perfection. She's confident in her identity while still dealing with typical teenage struggles, magical and otherwise. Her fearlessness in embracing her power contrasts sharply with the adults' cautious approach to magic, and her relationship with both Beatrix and Cordelia adds layers of family complexity that enrich the entire narrative.
Reno: Love After Loss
The romance between Beatrix and Reno develops with genuine emotional weight. Reno, a widow still grieving her late wife, represents the possibility of finding love again after devastating loss. Their relationship never feels forced or convenient—instead, it emerges naturally from shared vulnerability and mutual recognition of damaged but hopeful hearts.
The Shadow of Ancient Grudges
The Velamen family curse provides the novel's central conflict, but it never overshadows the character development. The historical animosity between the Holland and Velamen families, rooted in centuries-old betrayal and magical theft, manifests as a genuine threat to the newly reunited Holland women. The way Herron handles this supernatural antagonist—as malevolent spirits seeking to reclaim stolen power through the living—feels both threatening and thematically appropriate.
The magical battle sequences never devolve into flashy special effects prose. Instead, they focus on the emotional and physical toll of wielding power, the importance of family bonds, and the sacrifices required to protect those we love.
Themes That Resonate
Family and Identity
At its heart, this is a story about what makes a family. Astrid's decision to separate the twins as babies to protect them from the Velamen threat raises complex questions about sacrifice and choice. The novel doesn't offer easy answers about whether her actions were right or wrong—instead, it explores how families navigate the consequences of impossible decisions.
Belief and Skepticism
Beatrix's journey from skeptic to believer mirrors many readers' own relationship with the mystical. Herron doesn't mock scientific thinking or present belief as inherently superior to skepticism. Instead, she suggests that the most powerful magic might come from combining analytical understanding with openness to mystery.
Love in All Its Forms
The novel celebrates multiple types of love: sisterly bonds, parental devotion, romantic connection, and the love of found family. Reno's continuing connection to her deceased wife never feels like an obstacle to her new relationship with Beatrix—instead, it becomes part of the magic that binds them together.
Writing Style and Pacing
Herron's prose strikes an excellent balance between accessibility and sophistication. She has a gift for making complex magical concepts understandable without oversimplifying them, and her dialogue feels natural and unforced. The pacing builds steadily, allowing time for character development and world-building while maintaining momentum toward the climactic confrontation.
The author's background in multiple genres serves her well here. The romantic elements feel genuine without overwhelming the fantasy plot, and the magical realism aspects ground the supernatural elements in emotional truth. Her experience with memoir writing brings authenticity to the family dynamics and personal growth arcs.
Minor Critiques
While the novel succeeds admirably overall, there are moments where the magical system could benefit from slightly more explanation. The exact mechanics of how Holland magic works, particularly the relationship between emotional intention and supernatural results, sometimes feels inconsistent. Additionally, some secondary characters, particularly those in the Skerry Island community, could use more development to make the setting feel fully lived-in.
The pacing occasionally slows during exposition-heavy sections, particularly when explaining the historical conflict between the Holland and Velamen families. While this information is necessary, it sometimes interrupts the narrative flow.
Final Verdict
The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland succeeds as both an engaging fantasy novel and a thoughtful exploration of family, identity, and belief. Herron has created a world that feels magical without sacrificing emotional authenticity, characters who grow and change in believable ways, and a plot that satisfies both heart and mind.
This novel will particularly appeal to readers who enjoyed Practical Magic but wanted more depth, or fans of contemporary fantasy who crave character development alongside supernatural elements. It's a perfect choice for book clubs that enjoy discussing themes of family secrets, personal identity, and the nature of belief.
While it doesn't revolutionize the magical realism genre, it offers a thoroughly satisfying entry that honors the genre's traditions while bringing fresh perspectives on sisterhood, sexuality, and spiritual discovery. Herron has crafted a novel that reminds us that the most powerful magic might be the courage to embrace who we're meant to become.

The exact mechanics of how Holland magic works, particularly the relationship between emotional intention and supernatural results, sometimes feels inconsistent. Additionally, some secondary characters, particularly those in the Skerry Island community, could use more development to make the setting feel fully lived-in.
The pacing occasionally slows during exposition-heavy sections, particularly when explaining the historical conflict between the Holland and Velamen families. While this information is necessary, it sometimes interrupts the narrative flow.
Final Verdict
The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland succeeds as both an engaging fantasy novel and a thoughtful exploration of family, identity, and belief. Herron has created a world that feels magical without sacrificing emotional authenticity, characters who grow and change in believable ways, and a plot that satisfies both heart and mind.
This novel will particularly appeal to readers who enjoyed Practical Magic but wanted more depth, or fans of contemporary fantasy who crave character development alongside supernatural elements. It's a perfect choice for book clubs that enjoy discussing themes of family secrets, personal identity, and the nature of belief.
While it doesn't revolutionize the magical realism genre, it offers a thoroughly satisfying entry that honors the genre's traditions while bringing fresh perspectives on sisterhood, sexuality, and spiritual discovery. Herron has crafted a novel that reminds us that the most powerful magic might be the courage to embrace who we're meant to become.

This caught my attention because: witchy vibes. Who doesn’t like a cozy, witchy story?
The premise is interesting: Beatrice is told by not one but two people that she’ll experience seven miracles and then she’ll die. That’s a great hook, right?
Beatrice heads to Skerry Island alone on a trip originally planned for her husband. Until she caught him cheating. The relationship ends, and she decides to travel on her own. Once there, the miracles immediately start showing up: near-death experiences, long-lost family members, hidden magical powers… She discovers she has a twin sister she never knew existed, and there’s a whole family history and a century-old feud. It’s a lot, and it comes very fast.
The story had its charm but wasn’t exactly groundbreaking. Too many moments were just a little too convenient. Sure, you can explain everything with "magic and sisterly connection," but sometimes it felt more like shortcuts.
And then there were details that completely pulled me out. Like the dog. When Beatrice first arrives, people mistake her for her twin sister. Weird, since these women were separated for over 40 years and lived completely different lives (one in the city, one on a magical island). It seems highly unlikely they would age and behave in such a similar way as to fool so many people. Even their fashion choices were different, I believe. But okay, I’m willing to take that leap. With humans, that is.
But then a dog (or multiple dogs, I can’t remember) mistakes her too. Really? Don’t dogs use smell more than anything? Are we saying these twin sisters have the same magical pheromones that fool even dogs? This I just don’t buy.
I love the found family trope, and it’s here, but not the warm and cozy version. Beatrice’s long-lost family weren’t exactly welcoming. I think the heartwarming part of the story was the connection between Beatrice and Reno. That was beautiful.
On the plus side: cozy, small-town setting, fun concept, and bonus points for a main witch who loves spreadsheets (yay for spreadsheets! I felt seen). On the downside: some eyebrow-raising moments and the oh-so-rational and science-loving main character who accepted magic a little too easily. Also, aside from the obvious “miracles,” there were other elements that borrowed from religion. That’s not really my thing.
As for the audiobook: not my favourite narration. It was understandable and clear, but there wasn’t much distinction between the characters, and the delivery style wasn’t for me. Not a major red flag, but not a selling point either.
The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland is pitched as the love-child of Practical Magic and The Parent Trap. Funny enough, I had the same reaction here as I did with Practical Magic. When you read that story now, it hasn’t aged well. It’s one of those cases where the movie is actually better. Similarly, I think Beatrice’s story might work better on screen. I’d watch it.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. The concept was great. The execution was... lacking.
Let's start with characters. Beatrice was interesting at first. And the parent trap idea of having a long lost twin and parent with the fresh twist of magic (and being middle aged) was interesting. But she ended up just being kind of... dull. She disbelieves the magic even when it's proven right in front of her. Until she suddenly decides to just believe in it anyway? Also she got manipulated by a 15 year old. She also made some really stupid choices involving said 15 year old, but we'll come back to that.
Also, Beatrice talks about being a feminist but like, she took on all the mental and emotional labor for her ex, and when he cheated on her she didn't even really get mad? Like, even if she didn't really love him it's really unrealistic that she wasn't anger about how he'd been carrying on his affair since before they were even married while she put in all that labor for him.
And at the end he said he and the mistress were happy now? So why didn't she leave her husband to begin with and spare them all that misery? Ugh. It makes no sense, but I digress.
Astrid was vile. I hated her.
Mitchell was... bland.
Reno, which is a ridiculous name, had no personality whatsoever. She was just... there. And this was the love interest. There was no chemistry beyond "hot masc lesbian (?) who builds things" which feels like such a stereotype.
And now I can't even remember the sister's name. She was... okay. But she got mad at Beatrice for something that was in large part her own fault. She got mad at Beatrice for believing what Minna told her, but Beatrice didn't even *know* her, so why wouldn't she believe Minna?
Which does bring me to Minna. I liked her at first, but at the end I was tired of her mess. I get it, teenagers are messy and think they know everything, but gods she was being stupid. "Oh, my dead dad that I never met is totally trustworthy and should be believed over the people who have loved me for my whole life" 🙃
And then everyone gets mad at Beatrice for it??? And they won't even let her help fix it? Maybe if they had just been honest about everything from the start, even with Minna, it wouldn't have been an issue in the first place. "We had a plan!" Well, maybe you should have clued Beatrice in on that plan when she started spending so much time with Minna? Ridiculous.
And let's be honest, the plot of the Parent Trap was kind of nonsensical to begin with. "Oh they're twins. We can just take one each and never see each other again. I'm sure we won't miss or think about the other twin ever. After all, twins are totally interchangeable!" But this kicks it up a notch. Mitchell says that Astrid threatened to take both twins if he fought her. But would that really have held up in a court? No. And she was just so... unrepentant about it.
Also, I was listening to the audiobook, but I'm pretty sure at one point the sister called Minna, "Mitch" instead, and no one even reacted. Maybe that was an editing issue or maybe I misheard but it threw me off.
Also, I did not enjoy the narrator at all. She was very bland.
I guess my feelings weren't so mixed after all.

I dove into The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland by Rachael Herron expecting a cosy and magical women’s fiction and what I got was cosy and magical, and what I got was a found family full drama and wonderful and exciting world of magic!
Beatrice is just gone through a big life change after finding her husband has been having affair with her best friend and instead of letting their anniversary trip go to waste, she takes it on her own… Upon arriving at Skerry Island she receives a premonition that she will experience seven miracles and die…
As miracles start occurring, Beatrice discovers a long lost twin and her mother that she has been told has been long dead! Not only that, she encourage that her long-lost family has magical abilities— and she does too! Hopefully she has enough time to help her newfound niece before the seventh miracle and her death!
I absolutely adored this found family, and the dynamics between them. The situation, the parents put Beatrix and her twin Astrid in is something no one should have to deal with, specially, these magically linked siblings.
Focussing on family relationships, I loved how author Rachel Heron doesn’t sneak in a romance or anything else to get in the way of these incredible relationships between the family members. That wouldn’t be necessary and it would’ve taken away from the impact that these generation of women have.
The audiobook narrated by, Xe Sands was very well done. They did a great job differentiating many women’s character voices (there was a lot!) along with the other characters as well. They’re reading added to the atmosphere and drama of the book.

I wanted to love The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting. From the description, I thought it would lean more into adult magical realism with rich emotional depth. Instead, it felt more YA in tone, and I had a hard time really sinking into the story.
The island setting and the idea of hidden family secrets were charming, and there were definitely some cozy, magical moments that worked for me. Still, the pacing dragged in places, and by the time I reached the ending it didn’t land as strongly as I hoped—it felt a little too neat and light compared to the buildup.
I can see why readers call it tender and beautifully written, because there is heart here, and I think for someone looking for a softer, whimsical read, this could absolutely be a great fit. For me though, it ended up being a solid 3 stars—warm and pleasant in moments, but not the deeper, more adult story I was hoping for.

DNF @ 31% - moving too slow for my liking. Almost a third of the way in, and we still haven’t been introduced to the villain of the story - which is a big part of the plot, as is clearly outlined in the synopsis. Parts are getting repetitive at this point in the book.

Thank you to net galley for letting me read this prior to release. This was such a fun book to read. It had to best witchy vibes with a hint of the parent trap. The island setting gave me stars hallow feels and even some of the witty banter. An easy cozy read with just enough of a twist at the end to keep you guessing.

ALC 🎧 Book Review 🤍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was so sweet, I loved the msg!! 🤍
I can def see the Practical Magic x Parent Trap— The fact that Parent Trap was mentioned in the book itself had me laughing lol!!
The way our characters were able to discuss things so openly & full of love? It was just so cozy.
*Some parts at least lol!! Other parts had me wanting to fight Minna fr 😭😭😭 ‘Cause girl????
But the queer representation? Loved.
If you love the bonds of a family of women, queerness, witchcraft, & most of all the power of love— Def pick this one up 🤍
“The only magic wand she held was her vibrator.”
This had me cacklinggg ☠️
‘Cause same girl, same lmfao.
I also loved the term S.A.L— Spirits of All Life.
Such an amazing outlook fr.
“It was rain falling on a hot day, it was a lightning striking in a tri-force, It was a new country, one Beatrice didn’t know existed and had never wanted to travel to, but now it was one only nation she wanted stamped on every single page in her passport.”
Give me this or nothing!! 🥹🤍
Xe Sands did an amazing job narrating this!! She def captured all the emotions in this 💋

PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. This book completely exceeded my expectations. I picked up The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland expecting a light, cozy witch story with a bit of found family and while it certainly includes those elements, it turned out to be so much more. The writing and pacing are seamless, and the story strikes a perfect balance between whimsical magic and deep, meaningful themes. It explores identity, grief, self-discovery, and forgiveness with honesty and care.
Beatrice (or Beatrix) is 45 and newly separated. She decides to go on a trip that was originally a gift for her husband - mostly out of spite. Before she even arrives, she encounters two spiritual women who warn her she’ll experience seven miracles and then die. She brushes it off, planning to keep to herself at the hotel, but once she arrives in the town, strange things begin to happen.
She soon uncovers a hidden past: a twin sister, a magical family she never knew existed, and an inheritance of power she never expected. Through it all, Beatrix, who has always relied on logic, structure, and careful planning learns that sometimes, you have to ditch the spreadsheets and trust your gut. Her journey is driven by unconditional love for the family she’s just found, and the ways that love challenges and reshapes her.
There are so many lessons to be learned in this book. It made me laugh, cry, and even kept me on the edge of my seat. This book gave me everything that Practical Magic (the book, not the movie) failed to deliver. The ending absolutely wrecked me and then made me whole again. I've already pre-ordered a copy of this book to have on my shelf and I know it will be an annual comfort read for many years to come.

The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland was a delightful read. Thank you Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for this ARC in exchange of an honest review.
Beatrice is taking a trip, solo now that she found her husband and friend cheating on her, and she's skeptic about everything right now. Skeptic about her marriage in the first place, about this trip, and about the recent run-in she had with a palm reader who told her that she was going to experience 7 miracles and die. Things get freaky when she bumps into another and they tell her the same thing.
After arriving at her destination, she discovers unexpected family links and to her surprise, undeniable miracles. Beatrice isn't ready to die though.
I was wrapped up in this cozy feeling, magical journey. With her fate being told to her right away, I was guessing what she might experience next, and I enjoyed that factor of the book. The characters were enjoyable, but the theme is what kept me hooked. As Beatrice started to let go of what she thought she knew, she became more powerful and full of life. I recommend this book if you are a fan of magic and family drama.

I give this book a 2.5 but rounded up to a 3. I had so much hope for this book as I really enjoyed the beginning, but the ending upset me SO much.
Firstly, throughout the entire book, Beatrice is so “woe is me” and feels the world revolves around her. She acts completely reckless and I just found her to be unlikeable as a character.
As for the ending… the destroying of Taurus felt so rushed? Like one minute he is there and the next he’s just ribbons and all is good to go. Her family didn’t even show appreciation for Beatrice saving Minna - immediately after they all betrayed her!!
I really really wanted to enjoy this cozy little magic family of witches but unfortunately for me it felt disconnected and too long for what it was.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing, and the author for the eARC.
This was cute! The setting of Skerry Island was gorgeous, and the characters and love between them were truly so sweet and heartening.
However, I feel conflicted about the story as a whole - The pace was a bit slow, and I thought the book could have been shorter, yet at the same I wish some of the characters and their backstories were more fleshed out. (Example: Beatrice comes off as pretty nonplussed about her husband's cheating.) Then the last couple chapters of the book were confusing to me and felt a little rushed.
Overall, a really cute story, just with a confusing pace to it.

This was a big-hearted queer Practical Magic meets The Parent trap witchy family drama and I loved it sooo much!! I picked this up based on the cover and description, having never read anything by Rachael Herron before but I was delightfully surprised by the emotional depth and excellent queer characters in the story.
Beatrice Barnard is a bisexual, non-believer who encounters Evie Oxby, a celebrity psychic who tells her she will experience seven miracles and then die. Scoffing at this idea, she later discovers her husband has been cheating on her and so she runs away to a remote Pacific Northwest Island where she meets Cordelia, the identical twin sister she never knew she had, Astrid, the mother she thought was dead and her trans niece, Minna.
She also finds herself befriending local widow and recluse, Reno and as she tries to get closer to her new family, opens herself up to the possibility of magic and starts experiencing a series of miraculous things. But when her niece gets kidnapped by dark forces, Beatrice's love and faith in magic really get tested.
The best parts of this book for me were the relationship between Beatrice (later Beatrix) and Reno, the whole-hearted acceptance of Minna as a trans woman with inherited matrilineal powers and the fun Evie Oxby quotes at the start of each chapter. There's also a author's note at the end reader's shouldn't skip.
Great on audio narrated by Xe Sands who does an excellent job of voicing the full cast of characters and highly recommended for fans of books like The late-night witches by Auralee Wallace. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

If you're looking to pick something up that gets you in the mood for fall, this is the book! It's got a mix of Practical Magic and Parent Trap, with our main character, Beatrice, getting the heck out of dodge after her husband cheats on her, and in consequence, being thrown into the family she thought was dead and a world full of magic.
I thought this was an easy, fun read, and I appreciated the range of characters. There is a good amount of queer representation, and the island that everyone is on is just a hair utopic, which made this a more cozy read, given the depth of topic that is covered. I enjoyed the story of two sisters reconnecting, assuming the other was dead, and seeing their relationship grow, as well as Beatrice's relationship with her niece.
What bugged me was the total flip in that growth near the end, on the part of everyone but Beatrice. I was pretty ticked off for her and how little information was given her while she was simultaneously expected to be perfect and know everything-this made the climax kind of frustrating to me. I liked Beatrice'a arc, but the rest of the characters kind of plopped for me after that. That plus the sorta inconsistent pacing kept this from being a big emotional hit for me, which is was close to being.
The narrator was good! I felt like she embodied the character well and brought the story to life!
In the end, I still liked it and would recommend it for people wanting to read about discovering family and some light, creepy, witchcraft!

What bugged me was the total flip in that growth near the end, on the part of everyone but Beatrice. I was pretty ticked off for her and how little information was given her while she was simultaneously expected to be perfect and know everything-this made the climax kind of frustrating to me. I liked Beatrice'a arc, but the rest of the characters kind of plopped for me after that. That plus the sorta inconsistent pacing kept this from being a big emotional hit for me, which is was close to being.
The narrator was good! I felt like she embodied the character well and brought the story to life!
In the end, I still liked it and would recommend it for people wanting to read about discovering family and some light, creepy, witchcraft!

Thank you to Netgalley for this arc.
"there are times, where the only thing to do is to act before thinking a single damn thought. act without thinking. act without knowledge. act without even being able to move"
This book is a perfect cozy fantasy Halloween read. Yes I know that it is currently august, but you can never start too early on reads that gives you halloween vibes. This book was fun, cozy with a sprinkle of angst that had me binge reading this book in a day. I loved the characters and how they each interacted and changed throughout the story.
I don't think I have ever read a book with a protagonist that was in the age range of Beatrix, but I can't say that I was disappointed. I usually stick to young adult books, but it was nice reading something that felt so clearly adult, without it having to be spicy in any way.
I adored the lgbtq rep in this book and I especially loved to see a cis(if I am wrong please let me know-) author do trans rep. Like yes, other cis authors take note, THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. To me, as a trans person, the trans representation was really well done, and honestly had me crying a couple of times, especially towards the end.
Since this is an audiobook arc I do also need to mention the narrator for the audiobook. The narration was done super well and managed to draw me in in a way that had me stuck to my headphones all day.
overall it was a super fun and cozy read, that I would gladly recommend.

This book was the perfect transition from summer into my fall and spooky reads. Beatrice is looking to escape from the end of her marriage. She has discovered her husband is in love with her best friend and has been their entire marriage. She works as an accountant in her father's business and she hasn't done anything for herself in a long time. Beatrice had planned a trip to Skerry Island for her and her ex's anniversary and with it being non-refundable decides to take the trip anyway. Prior to her trip and while on the ferry to the island two separate psychics tell her she will experience 7 miracles and die. Beatrice brushes this off as she does not believe in such things. As the story unravels Beatrice is forced to not only begin to embrace the miracles, the family magic and discover herself. Shortly after arriving on the Island she meets her twin she was separated from, the mother she thought had died and the niece she didn't know she had. The series of events helps Beatrice slow down look inwards find what she really wants in life, discover her strength and power and become a part of a family and town she didn't even realize she was missing. This story is a lovely story of acceptance. I enjoyed the authors note at the end and always love when you can feel a part of the authors heart in the story. I listened to this book and really enjoyed the narrators cadence and addition to the story.

Light witchy vibes, would be perfect for a lead up to fall book. Beatrice/Beatrix Holland is surprised when she's told by a psychic that she would see seven miracles and then she'd die...not exactly the news you want to hear on a random day. When her plans get derailed by her husband cheating on her with her best friend, she decides she's going to take the birthday trip she planned for him by herself and that's how she ends up on Skerry Island.
Once arrived, she narrowly escapes death and then finds a family she didn't know about, including a separated by parents at birth twin sister. Oh, and this side of the family fully leans into the fact that they're witches and Beatrice had no idea they existed. Cue the existential crisis and desperate need for a found family/lost family bond.
The premise for the book was really good, but I did feel like a lot of the story was sloooooow. The characters were engaging and there was great queer representation throughout. I wanted to hear a bit more about Minna since we kept getting drops of her story.
This would be a good easy spooky time book.

The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland by Rachael Herron is a third person-POV Queer paranormal fantasy. Beatrice is on her way to enjoy a trip she was originally supposed to take with her husband before she learned that he had been cheating on her their whole marriage. When she arrives on the small island for her mini-vacation for one, she runs into a young woman who might have the key to Beatrice’s past and the things that she could have been in a different life.
Besides Beatrice, who is very explicitly Bi and is still friends with a former girlfriend, there are several Sapphic characters and Minna is a transgirl, giving the story a variety of Queer women in the cast. This is really great to see in a small town paranormal book for adults because there are so many ways that Queer women do exist and we experience grief and joy and struggles just like anyone else does. We ask questions about who we are or who our family is just like anyone else. Beatrice being more Sapphic-leaning but ended up marrying a man is a very common thing many Bi women experience because of the odds more than anything else. Doesn’t make them less Bi or Sapphic and Beatrice shows that in her POV quite a bit.
The use of quotes by Evie Oxby, an in-universe palmist who can commune with spirits, at the start of each chapter added humor to the book that felt much needed. Beatrice’s voice is not really a funny one, but one more tinged in reflection and grief at what she missed out on. The cozy aspects come from the small town setting, the knitting that Beatrice picks up while she’s with her mother, sister, and niece, and the very intimate cast. It’s not quite what I would call a cozy fantasy, but it is leaning in that direction. Small town paranormal is probably the closest subdivision of the subgenre.
A major theme is family after years of separation. Beatrice was raised with the understanding that her mother had died and that she had no siblings. This turns out to be completely false as her father lied to her and hid the fact that her mother was still out there and that Beatrice has an identical twin sister and she has a niece. It is very understandable that Beatrice would be upset about this especially given that her birth name is actually ‘Beatrix’ and her father changed even that. One of the things that helps Beatrice come to terms with everything is remembering the love she had for her step-mother and the love she does have for Minna pretty quickly.
I would recommend this to fans of small town paranormal fantasy and readers of cozy fantasy looking for something with a bit more bite

Beatrix/Beatrice has been told that she will experience seven miracles and then die. Besides, she was already dealing with a broken marriage and fleeing to another place was supposed to be a solace, but it ended up stirring things that had long been at rest and forgotten. Neither the prophecy nor her situation is giving any comfort to her data-driven mind that just can’t make sense of the events happening around her.
I’m sorry, but I’m just going to say it outright—I didn’t like the narrator’s accent and lingo for the audiobook. Talking about the story, the plot did have some flesh and the characters were good, but I wish there was more!
I enjoyed the lost-and-found family concept, the relationship dynamics between the aunt and niece, the inclusion of the LGBTQ trope, and the pacing with which the events occurred back-to-back. I did like the climax and ending though.
Since this was an audiobook, my perception is shaped by that medium, but I feel that reading the physical book might be a slightly better experience.

Recommend-O-Meter: For the lovers of family drama and/or witches, this could be for you!
I love witch stories. I haven’t, however, read one involving a 45 year-old protagonist before this book. Who says magic has to be exclusively for kids, anyway?
Our protagonist Beatrice was an only child. Emphasis on the past tense. Turns out, she has a secret witchy twin and a secret witchy mother and (most importantly) a secret witchy niece living on a quaint little island. This book tackles how she comes to terms with all of that, and with all of them, and with a minor little prophecy involving her soon-approaching death. No biggie.
The star of the show, though, was Minna, the aforementioned niece. Minna is an amazing character. She’s bubbly, and fun, and perfect. She’s also whiny, and annoying, and just so much of a teenager that it made me smile. As an aunt myself, I savored the way the author described Beatrice’s love for her blossoming with every chapter.
My main issue was that I wasn’t satisfied with the end bits of the book. Without giving too much away, I felt that Beatrice was treated so unjustly by the people around her, and it hit home in a way that made me cry. Like, I was sobbing actual, honest-to-god tears in my bed at ass o’clock in the dead of night (I couldn’t stop reading, even at the expense of my circadian rhythm). The thing is, having just come into the family, her mother and sister keep a lot of information from her. Like, a LOT. I was so insanely frustrated because there were so many secrets and I couldn’t understand why they couldn’t talk about it like the big adults they supposedly were. Then, when Beatrice fucks up due to this lack of information, everyone around her acts like everything was her fault. Um… what? Of course she didn’t know it was wrong to do because you guys didn’t tell her ANYTHING!
Yeah. I certainly have some feelings about this book. Part good, part screaming rage. But at the end of the day, I’m still happy to have read it, and I think it could be an enjoyable experience for many other fantasy fans like me.
Audio Assessment: I was very impressed with how the narrator conveyed the emotions of the characters. Each line, each piece of dialogue felt so alive in a way that enhanced my experience of the story and sucked me into its world. However, I found the voice itself drawling and far too breathy at times, especially when trying to convey character voices with too much emotion. There were moments when I had to rewind the audio over and over and still failed to understand what exactly was being said because it was croaked out or whispered, including in a few major plot moments.

Beatrix, aka Beatrice, is heartbroken when she finds out her husband is cheating on her. She fleas to Skerry Island ( love the name) with the thought in mind that a psychic told her she would experience seven miracles and then die. Here is where Beatrix's real story and life begin. There are many characters, and they all serve a purpose in Bea's life. She finds out she comes from a line of witches. Her mom never died like her father told her, and she has a twin.
Beatrix's character has a lot of love to give, though some of the other characters don't seem to match her same vibe.
Xe Sands does a beautiful narration with a very captivating and engaging voice. Overall, it is a beautiful magical story with queer representation, a perfect summer read!
Thank you, Netgalley and Hachette Audio/ Grand Central Publishing, for this ARC. All opinions are entirely my own.
