Why Did I Read? The witches and historical fiction premise sounded so interesting! My Thoughts: When I first heard about this book, I was so excited for it because I had this phase back when I was younger where I just loved historical fiction.

Cal Payton works at Payton and Sons mechanic shop with his brother Brent and his dad Jack. Cal is so grumpy and stubborn but he has SUCH a soft heart underneath all his gruffness! I loved how grumpy he was. Being the oldest, he was the one who basically […]
