About this listen

“Hoffman certainly knows how to enchant” (The New York Times Book Review) in this breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series - a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks: How far will you go to change your fate?

For over 300 years, a curse has kept the Owens family from love - but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger - the curse is already at work.

A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.

A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, The Book of Magic celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

A satisfying closure

This series of books; including the prequel, will forever be on my favorite list. The characters rich and plausible, the story spellbinding.
I'm glad it's over but will start again at the beginning because I loved it that much.

Best in the Series!

I love this book so much & didn’t want it to end! A beautiful & graceful (& often heart wrenching & poignant) end to the series. The Owens women will stay in your heart forever.

Loved!

Loved the entire series! I really hope she become inspired to write more about the family’s future generations. A story that covered 100’s of years multiple generations. If you saw the movie, forget it! This is so much much more and you will fall in love.

My Heart!!

When I found out my favorite childhood movie was a book AND A SERIES I was elated.
And they held up/exceeded my expectations! I loved the aunts in the movie, but I FELL IN LOVE with them in the books. The prequels amplify the original and then this final book wraps it all together in a perfect little bow.
I am sad to see these characters go, but I’m also so excited to reread all of these books.
If only magic was real… but at least I can immerse myself in their world whenever I want <3
