The year is 1979. 
27-year-old Alan O'Connell grew up in a turbulent household. With Irish parents that married straight after WWII, only to end up hating each other, it was easy for him to develop habits like smoking and drinking liquor and whiskey, even from an early age.  He was more than eager to leave the house as soon as he could, and get out there on his own. Now an aging young adult, he's held the job of a dish washer at a diner in the town he ran away to for months now. By now, Alan has had enough of the cruelty of the world, and of his own mischief making.
But is the choice he is about to make
one that will really grant him his wishes,
or
one that will tear apart his entire reality

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.
