Fall in Love with You
You live in a small town. You don't believe in love - or in magic. You make up a boyfriend just to get people off your back... and then, one quiet autumn afternoon in a bookstore, you meet the very boy you invented. Agatha Carroway has always preferred to stay out of sight - cozy rituals, quiet mornings, her favorite little bookshop, and a complete absence of romance. A fake boyfriend was supposed to be a harmless white lie, a polite way to stop her family and neighbors from asking questions she never wanted to answer. But when a stranger walks into the shop looking exactly like the perfect boy she once described - the same smile, the same eyes, the same inexplicable warmth - Agatha's carefully ordered world fractures. And when strange things begin happening around her, she can no longer ignore the truth she's denied her whole life: magic exists... and it's waking up inside her. And with that magic comes everything she's been hiding from herself. Now Agatha must figure out who this boy really is, why his appearance is tied to the changes stirring within her, and why feelings she buried long ago are suddenly returning. All of it unfolds as autumn settles over Seven Oaks - golden leaves, quiet mysteries, and the soft kind of magic that alters everything. A cozy fall romance about impossible encounters, awakening magic, and the moment love finds you - even when you don't believe in it. 🍂✨🍂Complete![The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/208617999-256-k530408.jpg)
The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12]
BOOK NUMBER 1 OF 12 IN THE MULTIMAGICAL SERIES BY LILLIAN R.S. ☆☆☆ Emeline Orman was sixteen when she and her parents moved across the country to the coastline of Washington state. A small town known as Melbrew sat comfortably in the middle of thick woods, so tiny and unknown that it doesn't show up on any maps, making it the perfect spot for malicious activity to go unnoticed. On her first day of school, she met some rather weird people, who all shared a strange similar interest. This little group had quite the reputation for their knowledge of the town's not-so-secret dark history... as well as all of the unusual things that have been reported to them. It all started with the rich Humphrey family tragedy back in the 1800s, where for years it has been speculated that the mother killed her husband and children. Being very eager to get to the bottom of all the town's mysteries, one thing leads to another as discovery after discovery begins to pile up, ranging from random holes in the ground, to suspicious buildings in the middle of the woods. Secret doors, tunnels, and books that talk about nonsense seem like they lead nowhere, with no connections! Though perhaps the most mysterious oddity of them all is the otherworldly gateway surrounded by old fences, tied back to the founding family. ☆☆☆ • CW: Strong language, murder, and gore • 34 Total Chapters! • Total Word Count: 142,450 • PLEASE NOTE: This book is part of a series!
