Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A delightfully chaotic romp through a magically cursed world where bad luck has never felt so cozy—Cassie's charm and the sapphic slow burn will have you rooting for her even as everything hilariously falls apart. Perfect for anyone who wants witchy warmth, talking animals, and a love story that sneaks up on you.

Synopsis

When Cassie helps out the grumpy cat with tidying up Hallewell's Bureau of Curiosities, a suspicious clock places a curse of bad luck upon her. When everything that can go wrong goes wrong, Cassie desperately needs to find herself a deity who will grant her some good fortune or she'll be doomed forever. Meanwhile, the cursed clock just keeps ticking, ticking, ticking. **** The Coffee House Witch & The Cursed Clock is the third book in the Cobblestone Coven series and it follows witch Cassiopeia and her return to her hometown. It's a cozy fantasy with a sapphic romance in a magical world with talking animals and lots of light-hearted banter.
