Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling New York Times bestselling rom-com by Lana Harper.Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one—in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams. But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago.On her first night home, Emmy runs into Talia Avramov—an all-around badass adept in the darker magical arts—who is fresh off a bad breakup . . . with Gareth Blackmoore. Talia had let herself be charmed, only to discover that Gareth was also seeing Linden—unbeknownst to either of them. And now she and Linden want revenge. Only one question stands: Is Emmy in? But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov?

"3.5⭐
I enjoyed this book, and will probably continue with the next book in the series, but it failed to wow me. It was cozy, had good spooky season vibes, and the plot was fun, but it was a little slow paced at times. The main characters, Emmy and Talia, were both lovable, but their romance felt kind of rushed to me. Definitely not going to make a favorites list, but I did enjoy it! "
"Honestly I thought this book was just okay. It was fun and I enjoyed the characters, but some of the dialogue seemed kind of elementary and little choppy. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of the pacing of the book either, I thought too much stuff happened off screen, and the plot is somewhat predictable. However, none of these problems were actually bad enough to make me dislike reading it, so I would give it like a 6/10 over all. "
