Go Hex Yourself
Jessica Clare's Go Hex Yourself is a paranormal romantic comedy that begins with Reggie Johnson, an unemployed twenty something obsessed with the trading card game Spellcraft, answering an ad seeking a Spellcraft assistant. She arrives at a Boston brownstone expecting tournament prep and discovers that her new bosses are actually a small coven of immortal witches who have used the trading card game's name to recruit untrained magicians for decades. The cantankerous Aunt Dru hires her on the spot, and Reggie is drawn into the coven's drama alongside Ben Magnus, a smug, gorgeous cat familiar turned warlock who instantly clashes with her. Clare leans into enemies to lovers banter, accidental magical bonds, and a slow burn that gradually heats up as the novel goes on. Beneath the spellcasting, found family, and witchy mishaps is a warm story about a woman who has spent her life feeling ordinary discovering that she is, in fact, exactly what an aging coven has been waiting for.
