Rune Whitlock lives in the small town of Sapphire Springs, and she has premonishes of the immediate future. However, she's cursed so that no one ever believes her when she tells them she can see the future. She grew up being shuttled from one foster care house to the next, until she landed at a house with a true monster. She was able to defend herself and ruin him, but at the cost of her legal reputation.
As an adult, she works as a graphic designer for a small company. Then she's put on a project with Donovan Frost, a grumpy data engineer who as limited people skills. Their banter soon turns into more, but is quickly derailed by his half-brother cop that he does not get along with. The fact that Donovan thinks she has a thing with his half-brother is not a real issue, because she has seen that if they were to get married that he would die on their wedding day or shortly after.
The local book club of elderly ladies turns out to be a witch coven in disguise, and they help her discover her parentage and grim past. She's never known why she has premonitions, but they are happening more and more frequently. Along with many other odd witchy occurrences around her.
The book is very cozy fantasy with practical magic vibes, charmed vibes, and cottagecore vibes. I highly recommend this for all cozy fantasy readers!
