Review: Threshing Day
Our Book Hero Ambassador @NZBookTokGirl is back with her latest read, and this time itโs...
See moreOn the eve of Halloween, a sisterโs well-intentioned love spell turns into a curse in this witchy, flirty rom-com, perfect for fans of The Ex Hex, Gilmore Girls, and Practical Magic.
The Hadley sisters of Mystic Hollow are magic. Literally.
But for all the generations of witches behind her, Kat Hadley could swear that sheโs utterly invisible to boys.
Then she learns that her perfect older sister, Harriet, cast a curse to protect her from heartbreak. Kat is so furious, she loses controlโand itโs not just their sisterhood that shatters. Itโs magic itself.
Suddenly, every spell a Hadley witch has ever cast starts reversing. Spells to do good start bringing evil. Curses to repel suddenly attract. And the veil between worlds begins to thin. If Kat and Harriet donโt do something fast, this Halloween might be Mystic Hollowโs last.
As they race to repair the balance of magicโand their relationshipโKat notices that every crush whoโs ever rejected her is suddenly magically lovesick. Even her annoying class rival seems to have fallen under her spell. For the first time in her life, she feels practically magic. Who cares if itโs all just a spell?
- Love curse gone awry: Suddenly all of Kat's crushes like her back. What's real and what's a spell?
- Sister witches: To save the town, Kat and Harry will have to learn to love themselves and each other.
- Spooky, flirty, cozy all for Halloween!: Packed with fall vibes, light romance, a few scares, and plenty of heart!
