R is for respect, something heartbroken Ivy Thorn doesn’t think Dasha Avramov is capable of giving her.
I is for inventive… which Dasha and Ivy will have to be, in order to get to the bottom of the otherworldly threat to Thistle Grove.
S is for spectacle, like the five unforgettably magical festivities the witch families will throw to celebrate the Cavalcade, a festival honoring the historic founding of the town.
E is for eating, the unlikely way Dasha exorcises stubborn interlopers from the nether realms.
A is for amnesia, which afflicts Maya, the mysterious newcomer to Thistle Grove whom Dasha stumbles upon on the shores of Lady’s Lake.
N is for nightmare, the kind of strange, portentous dreams Dasha has been having lately… could they be messages?
D is demons, those infernal nemeses that Dasha, an Avramov devil-eater, is uniquely equipped to handle.
D is also for departure, because we may be saying goodbye to a very special someone in this story.
I is for intimate, like the *very* steamy scenes between Dasha and Ivy on their path toward reconciliation.
V is for the veil, the supernatural boundary separating this world from the one that lies on the other side.
I is for intoxicating, which is how Dasha feels about the beautiful, deathly un-world on the other side of the veil.
N is for necromancer, like members of the Avramov family, who unleash the fiercest of their eldritch powers to help Dasha overcome her foe.
E is for the end, because this story is the bittersweet culmination of our time in the magical town of Thistle Grove.
The Witches of Thistle Grove #5
To save both her town and the woman who loves her against all odds, a witch haunted by loss must reckon with her turbulent past, in the next magical romance in the Witches of Thistle Grove series by New York Times bestselling author Lana Harper.
Even in a family of chaotic necromancers, Daria “Dasha” Avramov has always been an outlier. An event planner at the Arcane Emporium occult megastore, Dasha is also a devil eater: a rare necromantic witch with an affinity for banishing demons and traversing the veil, the boundary between this realm and the next.
Still grieving the loss of both beloved parents years ago, and plagued by a dangerous obsession with the world beyond the veil, Dasha is fiery yet guarded, an expert at dodging commitment. Her worst regret is a devastating breakup with the wise, empathetic, and sensual Ivy Thorn, her event-planning counterpart at Honeycake Orchards, and probably the love of Dasha’s life. Dasha has managed to break Ivy’s heart not once, but twice, so things are more than a little tense between them.
When they’re thrown together to plan the Cavalcade—a month-long festival celebrating Thistle Grove’s ceremonial founding with dazzling spectacles held by the town’s witch families—Dasha hopes that the third time might be the charm, while Ivy refuses to let herself be hurt again. As they confront the pain and passion lingering between them, Dasha and Ivy must also stand against an otherworldly threat unlike anything Thistle Grove has faced before
