An unlucky witch and her know-it-all nemesis must team up in the first of a new, spicy romantic comedy series from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.
Could it possibly get any worse than having absolutely no magical abilities when you’re a member of the most powerful family of witches ever? It used to be that I’d say no, but then I keep getting set up on dates with Gil Connolly whose hotness is only matched by his ego. Seriously. I can’t stand him. Even if I also can’t stop thinking about him (specifically kissing him) but we’re going to pretend I never told you that part.
So yeah, my life isn’t the greatest right now, but then it goes straight to the absolute worst hell when I accidentally make my sister’s spell glitch and curse my whole family. And the only person who can help non-magical me break the spell? You guessed it. Gil the super hot jerk.
Now we have to work together to save my family and outmaneuver some evil-minded nefarious forces bent on world domination. Oh yeah, and we have to do all that while fighting against the attraction building between us because I may not be magical, but what’s happening between Gil and I sure feels like it.

I've been really into witchy romance books lately and this one did tickle my fancy but it was definitely missing something. First of all, the voice of Tilda threw me off at first. It is that kind of voice that narrates the story to the reader in a way of “Yep, that's me. I bet you are wondering how I got into this mess”. Not the worst but also not unique. Tilda is a likable clumsy character who thought throughout her whole life she had no magic until this hot witch comes along to tell her otherwise.
The plot has something to be desired. I liked the premise but it was missing a villain. The villain was “The Council” but you never saw anyone from the council come after her. It was just people doing the biding for them... then they were totally friends after. The problems felt too easily resolved and the characters didn't have many hardships. I mean Tilda wasn't even mad that Gil hid this big secret from her. It felt too unrealistic.
It was a cute read though and it was fast to consume. The love interests were likable characters and not annoying. I am interested to continue this series once it releases... I am sure the next book is about her sister.
Thank you to Net Galley for giving me this ARC!
This was super cute. An adorable little friend group of misfits with wonky or lacking magic, a tall and immensely sexy leading man with a complex past, and a main character who manages somehow to be possibly the single horniest lead I've read in a WHILE whilst still managing to come across as adorable, rather than despairingly thirsty. I'd say 3.5, honestly, but rounding to 4 feels too high.
