Dar still hates magic. But now that she’s going to be living with her (apparently magical) girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend, she’s going to have to get used to it. That’s the deal, right? Dar tries to get used to magic and the other two accept that she’ll never love it. They’re all adults, this should be simple enough.

But, shockingly for Dar, it isn’t Joel that’s struggling with this plan. Instead, Dar and Gretel find themselves clashing over the topic. Is Gretel getting more controlling over Dar or is Dar being extra sensitive? She’s trying to save her relationship, but it gets a lot harder to do when a new wizard comes to town. He’s certain Dar didn’t destroy a Scarlet Holding with a lawn gnome and he’s insistent he’s going to learn her secrets.

Dar knew that living with magic wouldn’t be easy. But when hostile magic clashes with well-meaning protection, how is she supposed to just get to softball practice tomorrow?

Living with Magic is Book 2 in the Magic City trilogy.
