Can a witchy rom-com with spice be any more perfect?

We have Magnolia (aka Seven as her alter ego), a 40y woman, who is also a witch. She is a Chemistry teacher and she was also cursed! She needs to sing to fell good, and at the same time the curse makes her loved ones getting hurt if they hear her sing. So here enters Seven, in a Karaoke bar, for several years. 

Riggs is a teacher that now landed a job as a school principal in a new town, and quickly   realises that the woman he has heard sing and flirted in the past year and the one he has a major crush (Seven) is also Magnolia and works in his school.

Although at first they believe it may not be for the best they work towards each other and fall helplessly with one another. They just need to break that curse. And together with her family, they sure have an adventure, and learn that sometimes we are our worst enemies!

I really liked both main characters, but Riggs surely got a special place!

OMG, can he be more amazing? He is so sweet taking care of her and her needs, and being trully carefull with her feelings. That line when he was learning her secret, and kept supporting her.. 🫠

“I’ll give you whatever you want, Magnolia. And I want you to know how honored I am that you’ve trusted me with your truths. Your tears. I don’t take any of it for granted. Not any of it.” 🫠🫠

I believe that the right word to describe Riggs toward Mags is Devotion. Total and complete devotion! And he he is not afraid to admit it and even show it! 

"I will do whatever it takes, will be whoever you need, as long as you let me love you.”

"You are a treasure. A wonder. An absolute force of a woman. And it is my undying honor to be yours.”

How can a woman stay on her feet with these lines? It's a dream man, surely..

And Magnolia realises how lucky she is and understands that she will want and love him 'till eternity. 

I also liked her sisters and their family relationship. And even though they were not always envolved and super close, they really cared and fought for one another. It was sweet. 

I'm gonna follow this series and binge them from the moment they come out! It's that amazing!
