How to Flirt With a Witch starts out hilariously, with our MC Katie (whose POV is the only one we’ll get) on a video call with her BFF Hazel trying to catch her new kitten, which is wreaking havoc on her apartment. After finally managing to get the animal into its carrier, she heads off to the vet to try to find out what’s wrong with her frisky feline. There she meets Natalie, a veterinarian, and Katie is immediately drawn to her. 

 

The story does get a bit more serious and a lot less slapstick as it goes on, but in really interesting ways. Katie is a new college student away from home for the first time. She’s feeling a bit out of sorts, but as it turns out she’s got an innate ability to sense curses. Natalie is a witch tasked with finding and eliminating cursed things, and she happens to be quite protective of people she cares about—particularly a beautiful new college student. Both of them are lovely and their chemistry is obvious, but there’s someone after Katie and there are some secrets being kept. 

 

The story has an interesting magic system, and touches on some deeper topics of morality and good vs. evil, plus we get some action and magical battles. There’s not a cliffhanger ending, but with some issues left unresolved it’s clearly being set up for at least a second installment, and I’m all for it!
