Witchy adorableness! This is a cute second chance romance with just a dash of paranormalcy to make it interesting. I loved how clearly Vivienne and Rhys loved each other, and that the drama came not from good ol' miscommunication, but from much more mature themes; in fact, the way they both went about their second chance -- "I'm a grown adult, why shouldn't I get to sleep with this person I find attractive?" -- was so refreshing. No angst, just fun, paranormal drama to up the stakes. And I loved the cozy, Gilmore Girls-esque town (they had a Founder's Day, for pete's sake -- though sans punch) that became the background. Perhaps this book would be even better around Halloween, but I can firmly say witches are good all year around.
