"Angelina Lopez is the new queen of small-town romance—and of our hearts!" —SIERRA SIMONE, USA TODAY bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute
Gillian Armstead-Bancroft—Pride of the East Side and once-perfect bruja, wife, and mother—is going to spend her summer getting good at being bad.
The first time she left Freedom, Kansas, behind, she did it by doing everything right.
This time, she’ll hide from the large Mexican American family welcoming her home and work in secret to break the curse that’s erased her magical life. Only by doing it all wrong can Gillian get herself and her two children away from the ghosts of her hometown by summer’s end.
Nicky Mendoza is an answer to her prayers. He was the practical solution to the problem of her virginity when they were younger, and now, as a gorgeous artist in town for only a weekend, he’s the ideal man to launch her down the path of ruination.
But Gillian isn’t the only one who’s cursed.
Nicky has been plagued by his furtive, enduring love for her as long as he’s been haunted by his cadejo, the phantom black dog that stalks his psyche. He’ll stick around to be whatever Gillian needs him to be this summer—but he won't touch her. Touching her, then watching her leave again, would ruin him for good.

As a Mexican I appreciate the incorporation of cultural elements like La Virgen de Guadalupe, the legend of La Llorona, and even the concept of brujería. However, I draw the line of desbelief when the only way to solve the FMC's problem is to rely on religion mixed with legends and ghosts; it just was too much for me. I had the hardest time liking Gillian, and I was even thinking of dropping the audiobook just because she was getting too obnoxious and frustrating by the halfway point of the book; however, I pushed through because I was going to DNF the first book and ended up liking it. Gillian did redeem herself in my eyes and though I prefer Alex (the FMC from the first book), I didn't mind Gillian much. The opposite happened with Nicky, I liked him at first but I wouldn't have minded if they didn't end up together by the end... Despite my issues, I did like the story and the paranormal elements.
