To Spell & Back

Dead witches don't lie… but they do keep secrets.When an enchanted ring sends Lexi Balefire hurtling into the past, she's not sure if she's starring in a rom-com, a time travel adventure, or a Hallmark movie with a supernatural twist. But one thing's for sure—being a witch is even cooler than she thought.The god part of her heritage? Not so much.Lexi's swoon-worthy rocker boyfriend, Kin Clark, nearly died helping her retrieve Cupid's Bow of Destiny—the legendary weapon once wielded by her absentee father, the god of love himself. And now? It sits on her mantel like a temperamental magical paperweight, blasting Broadway show tunes and whispering cryptic warnings that sound suspiciously like riddles wrapped in enigmas.Armed with nothing but a magical compass and a growing list of questions, Lexi embarks on a quest to restore the bow's power before time runs out.But hindsight isn't 20/20—not even when you're there to watch it unfold firsthand.

He's not lost—he's just Jett. But convincing Serena of that? Easier said than done. And now, it's game on.Through every temporal jump and present-day crisis, Kin remains her anchor—patient, steadfast, and far too good for the supernatural hurricane she's dragged him into. She's determined to hold on to the one thing in her life that isn't bound by magic... if fate would just cut her a break.But as the pressure builds, so do the doubts. Kin has been patient, but with secrets piling up and danger closing in, Lexi wonders if love—even the fated kind—can withstand the storm she's summoned.With the Bow of Destiny whispering secrets she isn't ready to hear, Lexi's learning that the threads of fate aren't so easily mended—and some knots, no matter how much you pull, refuse to come undone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "e;Time travel, magical heirlooms, and a reluctant goddess heroine—this installment delivers all the urban fantasy tropes I crave."e;⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "e;A whimsical, witty ride through past and present, full of magical artifacts, chaotic romance, and cozy paranormal twists."e;
