Playing the witch card - kj dell'antonia

Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters , the story of one womans Halloween homecoming to the town where she swore off magic, and where she must reclaim it in order to create the life she desires and protect everyone she loves from an unexpected threat.

She gave up on magic.

But magic didnt give up on her.

Two exes.

One misbehaving mother.

Surprising magic.

The perfect recipe for Halloween chaos.

Flair Hardwicke knows the deal: Magic is real, love isnt, and relying on either ends in disaster.

Shes seen the havoc romance and witchcraft wreaked on her mothers life, and Flair swore off all of it long ago, after the boy she thought was her destiny ditched her.

But then her strictly no-magic life falls apart, and Flair inherits her grandmothers home and bakery in Rattleboro, Kansas.

When the cookies Flair decorates as Tarot cards unleash the magic of the family deck she stole as a child, luring Flairs mother to town, tempting Flairs magic-obsessed daughter, ensnaring Flairs ex in a curse she cant break, and bringing Flairs first love back to town, Flair has to accept that while she may have given up on magic, it refuses to give up on her.

As Flairs attempts to control the Tarot cards play into the hands of a powerful witch, Flair must find a way to accept her magical heritage in order to save those she loves from a danger shed never anticipated.

Part Gilmore Girls , part Practical Magic , this romp of a tale is KJ DellAntonia at her very best.
