Payback's a Witch by Lana HarperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this book twice-once in the fall, the second time during April, and I loved it so much. It had ghost possession, a magical competition, a woman coming back home after years of being in another magicless town...it was so perfect that I immediately put all of them on my tbr to get to this year because of how good it was. The fall vibes in the book were total perfection and I loved every bit of it, even the romance.
Emmy Harlow has just come back to the town of Thistle Grove after being gone for so long, and she is back to become the Arbiter of the magical games Thistle Grove has every year, she left because of her relationship with one Gareth Blackmoore that left her feeling so upset. When she does come back, she does feel her magic returning after years of it not returning after so long, and she finds out that her best friend and fellow witch Natalia Avramov has also been scorned by this Gareth Blackmoore that they decide to team up and destroy him during the annual games.
What Emmy didn't count on was the fact that she was falling hard for Talia (which I loved) and she didn't want the Blackwoods to win this year, so as Arbiter, she does try and make sure the teaming up of Talia and Rowan help bring down the Blackmoores, and she also spends time in her small town and sees how it changed after she left. But that twist at the end of the book was SO GOOD, have Emmy compete after what happened in the last trial, which I loved very much, and how she knew pretty much everything to help the Avramovs win the trials and knock off the Blackmoores.
I also loved how Emmy talked down to Igraine, who needed to sit her old behind down.
The ball at the end and how Taila gave the wreath to Emmy was so on point for her that I was smiling at the end. I now wanna read the rest of the series because of how good the first book was and how the author incorporated magic and romance in this small town I really don't wanna leave. I want to be a permanent member of this town because it was SO GOOD.
