While Graves Glen feels like a picturesque Southern version of Salem, Massachusetts, the twee Main Street vibe carries the weak romance only so far. The book never seems to figure out its focus. What seems at first to be the beginning of a rivals-to-lovers romance during the lead-up to Halloween quickly dissipates into a slapdash story involving strange newcomers and a villain who doesn't appear until the book is nearly over. Gwyn immediately bristles at Wells' surprising return, but that irritation heightens to a full rolling boil when he opens a witchcraft shop right across the street from her own. Simon Penhallow, the family patriarch, believes the infernal Jones women and their kitschy magic shops are tarnishing the town's deep, magical history, and he decides his favorite son's magical talents would be better served back in the U.S. He didn't even return to Graves Glen to attend his own brother's wedding to Gwyn's cousin Vivi. ![]() Thankfully, Wells moved back to Wales after one semester. Something that happened 13 years ago at Graves Glen's Penhaven College forged the beginning of Gwynevere Jones and Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow's prickly relationship. ![]() Two witchy rivals unite against a common enemy when a new coven comes to their small Georgia town. ![]()
