The Accidental Witch

Phaedra Michaels works as a therapist in Dismal, Alabama, and she is quietly losing faith in her work. Two of her clients at the local hospital have taken their own lives, her marriage has ended badly, and the death of her father has left her with no idea who her mother was. Deciding to numb herself with drink and disordered eating, she is then surprised by a mysterious spellbook that arrives in the post.

Desperate to help her fragile patients, she tries a few spells, and things seem to improve. Her clients brighten and she begins seeing the handsome doctor from work. Only later does she notice the odd troubles spreading through town and the creatures moving in the shadows around her home. Her spells have drawn every demon in hell to her door. Help arrives in the form of a rather geeky five-hundred-year-old warlock who loves superhero shirts and gets under her skin.
