A lesbian witch teams up with her nemesis to curse the girlfriend who has been two-timing both of them, but as their revenge plot heats up, sparks fly, leaving the coconspirators wondering if they should be more than frenemies. Think John Tucker Must Die meets The Craft. #DVPit #YA #CF #LGBT #OWN

Here’s what I read in September.

My favorite new-to-me books were The Guy Sure Looks Like Plant Food To Me, Extraordinary Quests for Amateur Witches, Touch the Sky, Curses & Cold Brew, Trans Wizard Harriet Porber And The Theater Of Love, and Solitaire.

My favorite reread was Flash Fire.
