About this book

Avery Alarch is the worst witch at Caerwyn University, and with her magic on the line, she is willing to break every rule to stay enrolled. When a desperate attempt to summon a familiar goes spectacularly wrong, she does not get a cute magical pet. Instead, she finds herself bonded to Felix, a towering, grumpy cat shifter who happens to be her mortal enemy. Trapped by an illegal spell and forced into constant proximity, the two must solve a series of deadly enchanted riddles to survive their own magical connection.

This dark paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes danger with delicious, slow-burn tension. As they navigate the halls of their academy, the bickering between Avery and Felix quickly shifts from hostile to undeniably heated. It is the perfect blend of forbidden love and enemies-to-lovers angst, packed with enough sharp sarcasm and sizzling chemistry to keep you turning pages well into the night.

If you are craving a spicy, fast-paced read with a cat-and-mouse dynamic that will leave you breathless, this is your next obsession. With its unique blend of bully romance, witty humor, and intense fated-mates stakes, this story is an absolute must-read for any fan of supernatural academy tales.

NEXT SHIFTER OBSESSION

May 16, 2026

This book had me in a chokehold from the very beginning, and now I'm obsessed. With just a pinch of bully romance, sarcastic humor, and heart-throbbing tension, the cat and mouse dynamic between these characters will leave you entertained and delightfully unhinged.

Her sense of humor, sarcasm, inner monologue, self-deprecation, and “black sheep” of the family vibe made her so relatable and some of my favorite things about her. It made me...

Fantastic Debut!!

4.25 stars 💫 What a fantastic debut! This was such a funny, good time! I found myself giggling quite a bit throughout the book. The FMC and MMC had me from the start. They worked well together...in more ways than one. IYKYK Things I loved: ◾witch vs. cat shifter ◾banter, banter, banter ◾fantastic side characters ◾and the tension! I was a little disappointed to see that we'll be following different characters in the next book, but I'm mad about it. I'll definitely be waiting to see what happens...

Hi...It's Me Again....I Seem To Have Mistakenly Gotten A Real Cat Rather Than A Shifter Cat?

7 Candles? Check. 7 Animal Bones? Check. 7 Sticks of Sage? Check. 7 Wolf’s Milk Flowers? Check. 1 Matchstick Box? Check. I open the box of matches and strike, the glowing ember lighting all my objects spread out before me in the safety of my backyard. I look around making sure no one is nearby, especially my “nosey” neighbor Jim who seems to want to come outside every damn time I decide to surface. I glare just a little bit longer at his backroom window just a few seconds more to make sure he’s...
