Perfect for you if...

You enjoy paranormal romance with real emotional stakes, where the magic system serves the plot and the relationships feel earned rather than instant.
You love found family dynamics and slow-burn romance where characters have to work through mistrust and competing loyalties before anything clicks.
You're drawn to stories about small-town secrets where the obvious villain turns out to be misunderstood, and everyone's got layers to uncover.

Maybe not for you if...

You want pure, fluffy romance without dark themes. This book centres on death, curses, and real danger to the protagonist's mother.
You prefer standalone narratives. This is clearly set up for a series, with worldbuilding and character arcs that extend beyond this book.
You dislike teenage protagonists or school settings. Penny is a high school student navigating both academics and supernatural peril.

About this book

In Idlewood, Indiana, rumors claim the De Lucas are witches who cursed the wealthy Barrion family decades ago as revenge for a failed romance—anyone a Barrion falls in love with will die. Penny Emberly, a wallflower, wants nothing to do with either family until her mother is struck by an accident and becomes the curse's latest victim. To save her mother's life, Penny must unite two bitter enemies: Corey Barrion, the star quarterback seeking to free his family from the magic that killed his mother, and Alonso De Luca, a misfit witch trying to prove he isn't the villain everyone believes him to be. As the trio works to break the curse, they navigate Alonso's unpredictable magic, the complicated history between the families, and growing questions about what really happened. Penny must confront her anxiety and explore dangerous, forbidden magic to uncover the truth. But the curse proves far more complex than expected, and saving her mother may require putting her own life at risk.
