Series: Witchington #1
Author: Avery Flynn

Goodreads Synopsis
An unlucky witch and her know-it-all nemesis must team up in the first of a new, hot romantic comedy series from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.
Could it possibly get any worse than having absolutely no magical abilities when you’re a member of the most powerful family of witches ever? It used to be that I’d say no, but then I keep getting set up on dates with Gil Connolly whose hotness is only matched by his ego. Seriously. I can’t stand him. Even if I also can’t stop thinking about him (specifically kissing him) but we’re going to pretend I never told you that part.
So yeah, my life isn’t the greatest right now, but then it goes straight to the absolute worst hell when I accidentally make my sister’s spell glitch and curse my whole family. And the only person who can help non-magical me break the spell? You guessed it. Gil the super hot jerk.
Now we have to work together to save my family and outmaneuver some evil-minded nefarious forces bent on world domination. Oh yeah, and we have to do all that while fighting against the attraction building between us because I may not be magical, but what’s happening between Gil and I sure feels like it.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
As the only non magical member of her family, Tilda Sherwood is a burden to her family name. Known as an outre, her only way to help her family is to act as their social media manager, and try not to embarrass them at every turn. However, her 'dates' with her nemesis, the handsome Gil Connolly seems to always end in disaster, and soon she's the reason for her family all being frozen. Of course she would be the reason why her powerful sister's spell goes haywire, and Tilda needs to rely on Gil, no matter the secrets he's keeping, to help her break the spell, and save the Sherwood'd before the Council discover the truth about her.
I'm going to be honest that this was an impulse request, and I had absolutely no idea what to expect apart from a witchy romance. As soon as I started it, I was hooked, and Tilda and Gil's humour and wit drew me in. They had one of the best enemies-to-lovers romance I've read, and the chemistry was perfect. I loved, however, that the book wasn't wholly them falling into bed, and in love with each other, but it had the added plot line of the wicked Council, Tilda discovering the truth about her powers, and the Sherwood family trying to save Witchington. Tilda and Gil's story was done well, and the epilogue has more than whet my appetite for the sequels, particularly Resting Witch Face and Leona and Erik's story.
