Playing the Witch Card

Curl up with this cosy, witchy read from NYT bestselling author KJ Dell'Antonia. Practical Magic meets Chocolat in this spellbinding story of a bakery owner rediscovering her magic - and herself. When Flair Hardwicke returns to the tiny town of Rattleboro to take over her grandmother's beloved bakery, she believes she's prepared for anything. All she needs is herself, her daughter Lucie, and to get as far away from her cheating ex-husband as physically possible. But Flair soon discovers that sweet treats weren't the only thing her grandmother was known for in Rattleboro. With the help of a misbehaving deck of tarot card-shaped cookies, Flair quickly finds herself being drawn back into the web of magic and mysticism she's fought so hard to escape. Even worse: her ex is in town. Flair hasn't spoken to Jude Oakes, now a famous chocolatier, since he broke her heart at seventeen. And Flair would be perfectly happy to leave it that way - if only Jude's mother would stop trying to force them to participate in Rattleboro's famous Halloween trail together. When Flair finds she's accidentally summoned Lucie's father to town under a curse she can't break, the recipe for Halloween chaos seems to be complete. But not everything in Rattleboro is as it seems, and as danger unexpectedly threatens Flair's family, she is forced to put aside everything she thinks she knows about love, witchcraft, motherhood - and herself. Because Flair might think she's done with magic, but magic certainly isn't done with Flair.
