The Kiss Curse

Gwyn Jones has the life she wants in Graves Glen, Georgia: a new coven with her mom and cousin, a thriving witchcraft shop called Something Wicked, and young witches to mentor. Then, just before Halloween, Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow arrives from Wales to reconnect with the town his family founded and opens a rival shop right across the street. A heated competition leads to one unexpectedly hot kiss that both insist was a magical fluke, until a mysterious new coven comes to town, Gwyn's powers begin to fade and the two rivals have to work together. This follow-up to The Ex Hex is a witchy paranormal rom-com; Kirkus found its romance less convincing than its spooky small-town charm.
