A Circle of Uncommon Witches

The MacKinnon women are cursed. Any man they fancy will automatically be within their thrall, so there’s no way of knowing whether love is real. The curse began twelve generations back when Ambrose McDonald, a powerful witch in his own right, fell in love with a MacKinnon. His heartbreak led to the curse at the heart of Paige Crutcher’s latest book, A Circle of Uncommon Witches/.

As the thirteenth generation witches, Margot and Doreen MacKinnon, must confront their fate. Margot chooses love, though she knows she cannot trust it, while Doreen decides to end the curse once and for all. To do so, she must defy centuries of MacKinnon rules as well as the explicit orders of her aunt Stella. She fears Stella, certainly, but she fears dying at 30 if she refuses to enthrall a man and marry him.

She sets out to break the curse and encounters Ambrose, tortured and held prisoner for three hundred years. Together they vow to break the curse, but in so doing they risk their lives and immortal souls.

This is the fourth book I’ve read by Crutcher, and it’s just as intriguing as the others. If you’re looking for a fun romance/witchy read, this one’s for you.
