Opposites attract in this wickedly charming rom-com by Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Payback s a Witch.

Wild child Isidora Avramov is a thrill chaser, adept demon summoner, and despite the whole sexy-evil-sorceress vibe also a cuddly animal lover. When she s not designing costumes and new storylines for the Arcane Emporium s haunted house, Issa's nursing a secret, conflicted dream of ditching her family s witchy business to become an indie fashion designer in her own right.

But when someone starts sabotaging the celebrations leading up to this year s Beltane festival with dark, dangerous magic, a member of the rival Thorn family gets badly hurt throwing immediate suspicion on the Avramovs. To clear the Avramov name and step up for her family when they need her the most, Issa agrees to serve as a co-investigator, helping none other than Rowan Thorn get to the bottom of things.

Rowan is the very definition of lawful good, so tragically noble and by-the-book he makes Issa s teeth hurt. In accordance with their families complicated history, he and Issa have been archenemies for years and have grown to heartily loathe each other. But as the unlikely duo follow a perplexing trail of clues to a stunning conclusion, Issa and Rowan discover how little they really know each other and stumble upon a maddening attraction that becomes harder to ignore by the day.

Pressestimmen

"I am happily and completely under the spell of The Witches of Thistle Grove series." Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation

"The only flaw in Lana Harper's magical, whimsical, sexy-as-hell The Witches of Thistle Grove series is that I can't set up shop in Thistle Grove myself right this second! These books truly do cast a spell." Erin Sterling, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Hex

Clever, fiery, and so much fun. From Bad to Cursed is a sharply written romp with wicked imagination. It's pure magic. Rachel Harrison, author of Cackle

Harper (Payback s a Witch) continues The Witches of Thistle Grove series strong, delivering a second installment packed with mystery, danger, lots of love-to-hate-you foreplay, family drama, and an identity crisis thrown in.

Atmospheric and lush, this captivating story ignites the senses. The magic lends itself to big, cinematic scenes, while conflicts about familial expectations and mental health struggles ground the story with realness. The romantic relationship is emotionally rich and deliciously sexy. Issa s wry first-person narrative effortlessly ties together the mystery, fantasy, and romance elements. Kirkus, starred review

Sehr unterhaltsam & charmant

Eine unterhaltsame Fantasy-RomCom über die Hexe Izzy Avramov, die seit einem Vorfall tief verfeindet mit Rowan Thorn ist. Doch als dunkle Magie das Frühlingsfest bedroht, die aussieht wie die Totenmagie aus Izzys Familie, sind sie und Rowan gezwungen, zusammen die Ermittlungen aufzunehmen - wobei sie sich unweigerlich näher kommen. Thistle Grove ist mal wieder ein magisches, gemütliches Setting und die Stadt und ihre magischen Bewohner schließt man schnell ins Herz, selbst wenn man Band eins der Reihe noch nicht kennt. Dabei erwartet einen wieder die richtige Mischung aus Romanze und Spannung, denn die Ermittlungen machen die Sache interessant und regen zum Miträtseln an, während sich die Sache zwischen Izzy und Rowan nebenbei super entfalten kann. Die beiden haben eine gute Chemie und sind beide auf ihre eigene Art echt sympathisch und liebenswert. Insgesamt also wieder eine lohnenswerte Hexen-Lovestory, die einen sehr gut unterhält, wenn sie leider auch nicht ganz mit Band eins mithalten kann.
