Unmagical - Cate Corey's Unmagical Life, #1 - E-book - ePub

The Gate that hides Cate Corey's magical hometown from the rest of the world is about to close. Permanently. Descended from gifted witches with no power of her own, Cate thought she'd left home and magic behind. These days, she's a stressed college student and an underpaid barista. It's a blessedly normal life. But when her father goes missing, she realizes his disappearance is linked to a crisis that threatens to destroy the community and reveal their magic to the world.
And Cate's missing Gift might be the only clue. Now she must choose between family and freedom. Because she has to go home if she wants answers, but going back now might mean giving up the unmagical life she loves... For good. Fans of Cackle and Spells for Forgetting will love this new novel about surviving the cozy apocalypse, making your own magic, and finding your family- literally. Reviews:"This is a great witchy book centered around a strong female lead, self-discovery and inner power." "This is one of the best witch books I have read.
No spoilers, but it is a story steeped in witchcraft, with believable characters and a really good story line." "I absolutely LOVED Lessmann's debut novel. I'm a sucker for magic and contemporary fantasy; Unmagical offers a fresh storyline and writing style that both fully engaged and entertained me. Her "More Snark, Less Dark" is spot on." "I truly enjoyed this book. Cate was the type of character you fall in love with instantly." "I loved this so much!! The epic journey, complicated family dynamics, secret society, nods to the witch trials, elemental magic, strong heroine and magical realism made for a truly fantastic read!" "Jenn Lessmann created a beautiful, well-thought-out world with vibes, gorgeous settings, and magic that felt totally original with some familiar elements.
The main character, Cate, was loveable from the beginning and easy to cheer for throughout the book. However, one of my favorite parts about this book wasn't the magic, the vibes, or even the setting. It was the family dynamics that were messy, real, and unapologetic. Any book that captures family in that way immediately wins my heart." "This mystery + fantasy was so much fun to read. I found the characters, sibling rivalry, and lore intriguing."
