Bewitched meets Practical Magic in this
bubbly, quirky romantic comedy with an enchanted twist from acclaimed
author Elizabeth Bass. When romance problems cause their powers to go
berserk, a trio of witches whose family was banned from practicing magic
risk getting in serious trouble with the Grand Council of Witches. Can
they get their magic—and their love lives—in order before it’s too
late?
In the sleepy college town of
Zenobia, New York, the only supernatural trace on display is the name of
Gwen Engel’s business—Abracadabra Odd Job Service. But Gwen’s family
has some unusual abilities they’ve been keeping under wraps—until one
little letter spells big trouble…
Nearly a century ago,
Gwen Engel’s great-great-grandfather cast a spell with catastrophic
side-effects. As a result, the Grand Council of Witches forbade his
descendants from practicing witchcraft. The Council even planted
anonymous snitches called Watchers in the community to report any errant
spellcasting…
Yet magic may still be alive and not so well in
Zenobia. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive a letter from
Gwen’s adopted sister, Tannith, informing them that she’s bewitched one
of their partners and will run away with him at the end of the week.
While Gwen frets about whether to trust her scientist boyfriend,
currently out of town on a beetle-studying trip, she’s worried that
local grad student Jeremy is secretly a Watcher doing his own research.
Cousin
Trudy is so stressed that she accidentally enchants her cupcakes,
creating havoc among her bakery customers—and in her marriage. Perhaps
it’s time the family took back control and figured out how to harness
their powers. How else can Gwen decide whether her growing feelings for
Jeremy are real—or the result of too many of Trudy’s cupcakes?
