Izzy always looked forward to summers at Whisperwind Hollow, a magical haven where her powers flourish and old friendships deepen. But this year, the magic feels different...

Each year, under the warm glow of the sun, Izzy reunites with a unique circle - her family of choice, where both magic and love thrive.

Caught between the easy charm and playful magic of Finn and the quiet strength and mysterious gaze of Noah, two brothers who have always been by her side, Izzy finds her heart pulled in opposing directions.

As ancient spells stir and loyalties are tested, Izzy must navigate a treacherous path where one wrong choice could unravel not only her own future, but the very fabric of their magical world. Izzy must decide where her true allegiances lie - and which guy holds the key to her destiny.

One witch. Two brothers. Who will she choose?

Cruel Summerween is a sweet, uplifting cosy romantasy from Heather Spellman - perfect for fans of The Kissing Booth and My Life with the Walter Boys.
