About this listen

There’s no such thing as witches…right?

Emerson Wilde has built the life of her dreams. Youngest Chamber of Commerce president in St. Cyprian history, successful indie bookstore owner, and lucky enough to have her best friends as found family? Done.

But when Emerson is attacked by creatures that shouldn’t be real, and kills them with what can only be called magic, Emerson finds that the past decade of her life has been…a lie. St. Cyprian isn't your average Midwestern river town—it’s a haven for witches. When Emerson failed a power test years ago, she was stripped of her magical memories. Turns out, Emerson’s friends are all witches.

And so is she.

That's not all, though: evil is lurking in the charming streets of St. Cyprian. Emerson will need to learn to control what’s inside of her, remember her magic, and deal with old, complicated feelings for her childhood friend--cranky-yet-gorgeous local farmer Jacob North—to defeat an enemy that hides in the rivers and shadows of everything she loves.

Even before she had magic, Emerson would have done anything for St. Cyprian, but now she’ll have to risk not just her livelihood…but her life.

Don't miss Big Little Lies, Hazel Beck's exciting new witchy rom-com where one witch will have to prove her magic isn't a threat to all of witchkind!

Love for family and friends. It’s a great read. I enjoyed how Ms. Heck twisted love and magic in

I so badly wanted this to be a five star book! Unfortunately though, it just fell a little flat. While the overall premise was unique and exciting, I felt like some parts were rushed over and some were focused on too long. The characters were fun, but I never felt attached to them. I was really hoping for a cozy, small-town feel and I don’t feel like we spent enough time learning and “seeing” the town. I would have loved a bit more atmospheric development to really bring the witchy town vibes to life. Definitely not bad, just not what I was hoping for.

Very Unique Story

Thr story wasn't bad. But the protagonist was so self righteous that it was nearly unbearable. I'm surprised I finished the book at all. Feminism is great,but this was shoving it down our throats.

Annoying protagonist

Enjoyable story. The main protagonist drove me a bit nuts with her lack of humility but overall it was an enjoyable, read, and very entertaining.

Better over the duration of the book

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about because for a long time ive heard people wanting a strong female lead in a story.
this was just that it was a breath of fresh air to not have a whiney love sick woman following some male like a love sick pup.
this group of friends had me smiling and enjoying the banter and all the girls being strong and confident not taking the guys crap was great. it also had me hoping for a second book for their fight against joywood and hoping for more magic.

strong confident woman

I think the concept was good but execution fell flat in this story. Narrator also didn’t help. Too whiny of a voice.

Not my cup of tea

This book was chosen for our bookclub book. It was not something I would have picked for myself. It was well written and narrated. I imagine that if you're an avid fan of fantasy books, this would be worth a read.

Good, if this genre is your preference

A compelling and enjoyable novel filled with romance and magic. Essentially the story is what if Lesley Knope discovered she were magic and tasked with saving her town. I loved all the characters, especially her friends, which were richly drawn. The main character is slightly irritating as she is realizing her powers but I realized it was due to the pacing of the reader. Her voice and performance are great but I think she was directed to speak much too slowly. I simply increased the listening speed (some thing I’ve never done before) at 1.4x I fully enjoyed the story. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series

Good story, reading paced wrong
