Practically Magic: Jen Calonita

One little love curse. Two witchy sisters. And a Halloween where absolutely everything is going wrong.

Kat Hadley comes from generations of witches, but when she discovers her older sister secretly cursed her love life to protect her from heartbreak, Kat's anger sends their family's magic spiraling out of control.

Suddenly, old spells begin reversing, supernatural creatures are drawn to Mystic Hollow, and every crush who once ignored Kat is magically obsessed with her—including an irritating academic rival who might not be quite so irritating after all.

Cozy, funny, and filled with Halloween magic, Practically Magic is a charming story about sisterhood, first love, self-confidence, and figuring out which feelings are real when magic gets involved.

Perfect for readers who love: witchy romances, cozy fantasy, Halloween, small towns, sister witches, academic rivals, magical mishaps, fall vibes, and Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic.
