In the sleepy college town of Zenobia, New York, the only supernatural trace on display is the name of Gwen Engelâs businessâAbracadabra Odd Job Service. But Gwenâs family has some unusual abilities theyâve been keeping under wrapsâuntil one little letter spells big trouble... Nearly a century ago, Gwen Engelâs great-great-grandfather cast a spell with catastrophic side-effects. As a result, the Grand Council of Witches forbade his descendants from practicing witchcraft. The Council even planted anonymous snitches called Watchers in the community to report any errant spellcasting... Yet magic may still be alive and not so well in Zenobia. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive a letter from Gwenâs adopted sister, Tannith, informing them that sheâs bewitched one of their partners and will run away with him at the end of the week. While Gwen frets about whether to trust her scientist boyfriend, currently out of town on a beetle-studying trip, sheâs worried that local grad student Jeremy is secretly a Watcher doing his own research. Cousin Trudy is so stressed that she accidentally enchants her cupcakes, creating havoc among her bakery customersâand in her marriage. Perhaps itâs time the family took back control and figured out how to harness their powers. How else can Gwen decide whether her growing feelings for Jeremy are realâor the result of too many of Trudyâs cupcakes?
