SPFBO10

In a town hidden by illusions and protected by centuries of spells, it's up to unmagical Cate Corey to reveal the truth.

The Gate that hides Cate Corey’s magical hometown from the rest of the world is about to close. Permanently. Descended from gifted witches with no power of her own, Cate thought she’d left home and magic behind. These days, she’s a stressed college student and an underpaid barista. It’s a blessedly normal life. But when her father goes missing, she realizes his disappearance is linked to a crisis that threatens to destroy the community and reveal their magic to the world. And Cate’s missing Gift might be the only clue. Now she must choose between family and freedom. Because she has to go home if she wants answers, but going back now might mean giving up the unmagical life she loves... For good. Fans of Practical Magic and Veronica Mars will love this new novel about surviving the cozy apocalypse, making your own magic, and finding your family— literally.
