A cute, witchy story about a witch who lost her magic and forgot she ever had any. Emerson Wilde has a solid, supportive group of friends, though, who never let her fully forget who she is and protect her as best they can. Sometimes she comes across as a little self-righteous, which is annoying, but I love how strong Emerson perceives herself and her little circle. The dynamics of her group is great; everyone has a role. The potential for more with her old friend Jacob and what that could mean for her magic made me smile. I enjoyed the family history, witch community, and the small town atmosphere. Witches fighting evil works for me, especially considering Charmed. After finishing, I immediately started wondering about book 2.
