Tammy Jo Trask is convinced she's the one witch in her magical family who got completely shortchanged—until her grandmother's locket mysteriously vanishes and suddenly her dormant powers start acting up in gloriously messy ways. Desperate to recover the heirloom (and silence her hilariously sarcastic ghost grandmother), she's forced to seek help from Bryn Lyons, the devastatingly charming and powerful wizard who happens to be everything her family warned her against. What unfolds is a delightful blend of small-town Texas charm, chaotic magic gone wrong, and the kind of slow-burn tension that makes you swoon, all wrapped up in a mystery that'll keep you turning pages. If you love paranormal romance with heart, humor, and a heroine who stumbles her way to discovering her own magic, this Southern Witch debut is pure enchantment.
