Short, sweet, satisfying romance. Juniper is the superstitious witch in the title. Her family is cursed with hearing ghosts on Halloween unless they carve Jack-o-lanterns for protection. When her Jack-o-lantern is thrown away at the last minute, her friend Emmett comes through with help.
Juniper and Emmett are students and classmates in a boring class at Obscure Academy, a school for supernaturals. Both have crushes on the other but have yet to act on them. Emmett comes across Juniper having a panic attack because all the pumpkins are sold out. His innovation and gallantry open the way to a relationship to start.
Ms. Greenwood has a knack for writing relatable characters that readers can root for. Emmett shows compassion and thoughtfulness for Juniper’s dilemma and their relationship shows that it’s being built solidly on friendship and trust. This is a sweet romance with no foul language suitable for younger audiences as well.
