Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.

I never thought that I'd think a person was refreshing, and I'm not talking about that, 'I just took a drink of cold water after playing outside all day long' type of refreshing. I'm talking about the feeling of fresh bedroom sheets that hug you into them as you lay yourself down to sleep. The type of refreshing satisfaction you feel getting to watch your favorite athlete lead in the top spot on a comeback tour. The sensation of smelling the air on the first morning of fall, and feeling the leaves crunch beneath your feet as the breeze says hello, bringing it all full circle for you. Or even the visibility of elated excitement over a forgotten childhood memento that shifts you back into your younger self and your favorite memory. I truly never thought I'd think like that. My brain is hardwired a certain way and I didn't think it ever possible to think even a small sliver of what most people would consider normal. ©️ All Rights Reserved.

book cover creds: @shootmejade on pinterest Tristian Liao and Natasha Best have never seen eye to eye since the 7th grade. Tristian was a ticking time bomb, along with her inability to control her temper. Natasha took her last name too seriously, and she always got a rise out of Tristian's anger. They competed against each other in everything, it was almost like an addiction. This continued up until the end of their senior year when they graduated. They parted ways and didn't speak to each other since. That was of course until the middle of Natasha's freshman year of college, when she stumbled upon a familiar face in her communications class. She was already aware of all the students who attended her evening lesson, but she couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't believe that Tristian Liao sat in the last seat beside hers. Their constant head bumping and bickering sprung up again, to say the least, but so were old feelings that were never brought up to anyone's attention. When one's plans of revenge begin to set in motion, can they follow through without falling in love again? September 2023 -
