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 Enemies-to-lovers set among rival witch families in a magical town-say no more. -USA Today 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. Sound like a lot? It is, but still oh so fun. Highly recommended. -Library Journal, starred review 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 These books are intensely queer, honest, and essentially kind. I adore them so. -Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of That Ain't Witchcraft With a fresh, fun voice, Harper brilliantly blends romance, mystery, and magic. Series fans will not be disappointed. -Publishers Weekly Rarely is the second book in a series better than the first, but as Harper continues her Witches of Thistle Grove series, following Payback's a Witch, the world building and exploration of family cultures enhances this already fascinating setting...Harper's latest is imaginative and captivating. -Booklist Lana Harper's second witchy romance is a knockout winner full of chemistry, magic and hope. -Romance by the Book The mystery, fantasy, and romance blended together perfectly, none overtaking the story and all somehow contributing to a fascinating story of family and feuds. This was a very fun witchy read that is perfect for spring. -The Lily Cafe This sequel to Payback's a Witch is as much fun as the first, maybe even more so...The author develops an opposites attract romance that is fun and intriguing with curses and a compelling mystery to keep readers hooked. -Duncan's Books and More
