Elly decides to return to her hometown of Mystic Hollow to take over the cafe' that her grandmother owns so her grandma can retire. Once she gets home to take over the cafe' she soon realizes her grandmother uses magic in her food and expects Elly to continue that tradition. Elly has no idea she has magical abilities but soon finds out that she does!Grandma leaves her alone with the cafe' to run without ever giving her much information on how the magic works or what happens when you mess up. Elly soon finds out what the consequences are of accidently giving the wrong spell to the wrong person when Tom, an agent from the National Organization of Magic, shows up to reprimand her. To make matters worse, the guy she accidently gave the wrong magic food to is the guy that she has been dying to ask out!!This was a very simple, fun and enjoyable read!! I really enjoyed the quirky fun paranormal story. It was a nice break from the normal dark and dreary paranormal stories out there! There was some mystery involved but none of it was done in a creepy way.I loved the small town feeling of Mystic Hollow. This was a town where everyone new everyone's stories and cared for one another. Everyone enjoyed going to the local cafe' for a piece of the famous cherry pie!The romance behind the story was very entertaining. I enjoyed all the problems that came Rory's way because of the wrong magic. I was also intrigued by Tom and I really hope we see more of him in the second and third book of the series!Content: This is an adult book and I don't really think it's appropriate for young adults, unless they are at least 16. There were some minor references to previous sexual relationships. Some passionate kissing and some flirting!! The sexual content of this book did not bother or make me blush; it was all done sweet yet flirty!If you are looking for a fun, charming story about witches and a spell gone wrong, this is a great book for you!I received a free copy of this book from the author for my personal opinion and review. All opinions are my own!
