Overview

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 her daughter Lucie, and to get as far away from her cheating ex-husband as physically possible. But sweet treats weren't the only thing her grandmother was known for in Rattleboro, and as determined as Flair is to avoid it, a misbehaving deck of tarot card-shaped cookies draws her back into the web of family magic she's fought so hard to escape. Even worse: her first love is in town. Flair hasn't spoken to Jude Oakes, now a famous chocolatier, since he broke her heart at seventeen. When Flair finds she's accidentally summoned Lucie's father to Rattleboro 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. As Flair's family is threatened, 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. 'Playing the Witch Card is an enchanting story of small-town magic, love, family, and friendship as delicious and captivating as Flair's tarot-themed cookies. It'll have you craving both witchy baked goods and a visit to your nearest swoonworthy magical town.' - Lana Harper, author of Payback's a Witch and the Witches of Thistle Grove series 'A delightfully sweet, heartfelt novel about letting go of our fears to make room for magic, and the power of choosing our own fate. Utterly charming.' - Rachel Harrison, author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth 'Buckle up your broomsticks, people. Playing the Witch Card is an absolutely delightful wild ride that will leave you breathless at the end. This intricate and tightly woven novel is ultimately an exploration of identity, freedom and the power of letting things go. This one will stay with me for a long a long time.' - Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script 'KJ Dell'Antonia perfectly captures life in a small town in this delightful family saga...It feels strange to say that a book about witchcraft and magic that won't take no for an answer is 'cozy' but I really did get cozy vibes from this book! It put me in a fall, pumpkin-spice sort of mood, and is the perfect read for curling up next to the fire.' - Jessica Clare, author of What the Hex
