Vivienne Jones and Rhys Penhallow met 9 years ago spent 3 months together and then broke up. now Vivienne is a professor at the college where she met Rhys teaching history except that she is a witch teaching non witch students. Her parents died when she was a teenager so she went to live with her aunt and cousin. Her mom never wanted her to use magic so she has always felt behind even though her aunt and cousin work at her aunt’s shop something wicked where they mostly sell fake magic like phony tarot cards and chattering teeth because humans aren’t supposed to know witches exist.
Gwen and Elaine love magic and don’t even like to cook and clean without it Vivienne mostly just uses it to tell her when one of her students cheats it does this by screaming cheater cheater pumpkin eater meanwhile Rhys is called to represent the Penhallows at the founders day celebration because his ancestor founded the town and his father is making him go,so back to Graves Glen and potentially Vivienne he goes he also has to be there to change the ley lines to keep the magic flowing through the town so although he’s not sure that he wants to run into Vivienne, he knows that it is important to go. Rhys arrives and almost immediately runs into Vivienne after having a flat tire and their sarcastic banter leads her to leave him stranded in the middle of the night.
In fact things haven’t went right for Rhys since he got to Graves Glen He’s used to being able to control how things go which is why he’s so good at his job arranging trips for people. Rhys has never represented his his family for founders day before because his dad doesn’t like him very much so he doesn’t know all that he has to do so Vivienne has to go find him and as he’s getting shown around the head of his ancestors statue falls off almost crushing him.
Weird things keep happening up to the ley line ceremony and after that that remind Vivienne and Gwen of something that happened after Vivienne and Rhys broke up that may or may not lead to the destruction of the town ,as they try to figure out why those things are happening their romantic relationship starts up again they are going to wish that they had listened to Aunt Elaine when she said don’t mix vodka with magic by the end of their ordeal.
The romance in this is flat we are supposed to believe after the horrible break up they are still so into each other even though they were only together for a summer and they’ve been with other people since then they act so immature but the rest of the story like the magic parts are great also the relationship with her family is very nice I wish the author would have focused more on that stuff instead .
