What to expect

Romeo and Juliet meets The Inheritance Games, in this gothic contemporary fantasy.
The locals of Idlewood whisper of a tragic love story that began a decades long blood feud.
For as long as anyone can remember, the De Luca witches and the wealthy Barrion family have been sworn enemies. Ever since the curse that changed their fates forever. Now, if a Barrion falls in love with you, you’ll die.
But when Penny Emberly’s mother becomes the curse’s latest victim, she must bring together two bitter rivals, Alonso and Corey, in order to save her mum’s life and stop the feud for good.
But as the trio navigates unpredictable magic, the tangled web of their family histories, and complicated attractions, it becomes clear that there’s more than dark secrets at play.
Can Penny find a way of breaking the curse…without losing her heart in the process?
