Small Town, Big Magic
Small Town, Big Magic
by Hazel Beck
There's no such thing as witches...right?
Emerson Wilde has built the life of her dreams. Youngest Chamber of Commerce president in St. Cyprian history, successful indie bookstore owner, and lucky enough to have her best friends as found family? Done.
But when Emerson is attacked by creatures that shouldn't be real, and kills them with what can only be called magic, Emerson finds that the past decade of her life has been...a lie. St. Cyprian isn't your average Midwestern river town—it's a haven for witches. When Emerson failed a power test years ago, she was stripped of her magical memories. Turns out, Emerson's friends are all witches.
And so is she.
That's not all, though: evil is lurking in the charming streets of St. Cyprian. Emerson will need to learn to control what's inside of her, remember her magic, and deal with old, complicated feelings for her childhood friend—cranky-yet-gorgeous local farmer Jacob North—to defeat an enemy that hides in the rivers and shadows of everything she loves.
Even before she had magic, Emerson would have done anything for St. Cyprian, but now she'll have to risk not just her livelihood...but her life.
Don't miss Big Little Lies, Hazel Beck's exciting new witchy rom-com where one witch will have to prove her magic isn't a threat to all of witchkind!

Natalie Duke's ringing confidence matches that of protagonist Emerson Wilde, Chamber of Commerce president and bookstore owner in St. Cyprian, Missouri--and unknowing witch. When Emerson is attacked by creatures with dark magic, she unconsciously uses magic to defend herself and, in doing so, regains the witch memories she lost 10 years earlier. Duke uses different voices for Emerson's coven friends: quiet and limpid for researcher Georgie, matter-of-fact for Ellowyn, pugnacious for Zander, and emphatic for Jacob, a healer who is Emerson's love interest. Duke delivers Emerson's militant feminist comments and self-actualizing pep talks with deliberate emphasis. Duke even makes Emerson's addiction to planners and organizational strategies endearing. Duke's low, warm tones keep listeners engaged with Emerson's journey and the major magical crisis she has to diffuse. C.A. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
