Vivienne and her cousin sort of accidentally curse Vivi’s now ex-boyfriend when he drops a bomb on her- that his father is arranging a marriage for him. Nothing really happens for nine years but as soon as Rhys returns to that magical little town to charge the ley lines, bad things start to happen including multiple near death experiences, plastic skulls coming to life, and unleashing a ghost that really hates Rhys and his family. The pair must work together to cleanse the town of this curse while dealing with their lingering attraction to each other.
This was a really cute, quick read with good witchy vibes without getting super intense about rules of magic in this universe. The side characters are fun but a little flat. Rhys and Vivi make a cute pair but they do suffer from a bad case of Not Talking About Your Feelings Even Though It Would Fix A Lot Of Your Problems. Overall, the plot was pretty predictable and the end was wrapped up really quickly. It’s worth a read if you like slightly cozy witchy reads that don’t take themselves too seriously.
