When her great-aunt Georgia dies unexpectedly, Katie Rogers leaves her dead-end life in Tennessee to inherit the family curios shop in the small town of Avery, Vermont where she learned magic in the summers of her youth. Now, Katie can barely cast a decent hangover spell, and with so little power remaining in her gem necklace, she's running out of options. While her money-hungry mother and sister pressure her to seek help from an old flame, Katie struggles to keep the business afloat by herself while fending off help from the perky, intrusive mayor. But when a decades-old illness makes a stunning return to town, people cast their suspicions on the new witch, especially the annoyingly handsome Sheriff Holte. At least Katie has Allister to distract her-a smooth-talking salesman with a penchant for making deals and showing up at just the right time. As Katie's bad reputation grows, so do the mysterious circumstances surrounding Georgia's death. With the help of her friends, and her furry familiar Reggie, Katie uncovers the secrets of Avery, and a strength within herself that goes much deeper than the botched love spell that got her into this mess.

Shelby King is tired of living in her sister's shadow. Shelby's a scribe, like her mom, and everyone expects her to write spells for her sister, the way her mom always has for her dad. But Shelby's spells fail spectacularly, and by the time she's a sophomore, Christina won't touch them with a ten-foot-pole; their parents aren't much better. Shelby is fed up, and she decides to show the world she doesn't care if she isn't as good as her stuck-up sister, or as talented as their powerful parents. In fact, she decides it's time to break all the rules, magical and otherwise, and she starts sneaking out to meet Jeremiah Smallwood, the second-best caster in school at illegal pop-up spell battles around town. She may not be able to scribe for him, but she doesn't mind letting him think that she could; Shelby's been half in love with Miah as long as she can remember, but he's never paid attention to her until now, and she's not going to risk her chances worrying about a pesky thing like the truth. But when Christina rats her out to their parents, Shelby can't control her anger, and words come pouring out of her that she can't take back even if she wanted to, threatening Christina's future...and Shelby's own chances with Jeremiah. It'll take more magic than Shelby's ever dreamed of to set things right, but no scribe has that much magic...right?
