Movie Magic Book 2
A down-on-her-luck witch and an ambitious actor who definitely doesn't believe in the supernatural collide in a magical novella romance, for fans of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon.
Kingston went to an exclusive drama school in London and has leading-man looks and charm. But while the work's been steady, he's still desperate for the perfect breakout, award-bait role to sink his teeth into. In the meantime, he's determined to make the most of his time on location in New Zealand for a major film franchise. But ever since he picked up a shiny washed-up trinket on the beach shoot, things have been getting . . . spooky.
Amalia was already the black sheep of her family, having developed cooking witchery instead of plant magic. Then she started seeing dead people. After her career as a chef hits a snag, she's finally back on her feet running a food truck at a small location shoot that might just turn into bigger catering jobs. But, of course, nothing in her life ever goes that smoothly. Actor Kingston Williams is the hottest man she's ever seen. He's also, unfortunately, haunted by an angry ghost, something he'd never believe if she told him. But she can't seem to avoid this incorrigible flirt . . .
From the author of Bespoke & Bespelled, another witchy movie-set romance sure to charm.

My Review:
Oh my gosh! That was just so much fun. And now I’m kicking myself for having missed out on the first book in the series. (There’s another title for my already overloaded to-be-read shelf.) But this book stands completely fine on its own. The opening scene and when Amalia and Kingston interact with our previous leading couple were the only times I was left feeling like I might have missed something. Otherwise, everything I needed was in this book. I adored these quirky characters, and watching them falling in love was so much fun. I already can’t wait for our next opportunity to do this again. In fact, I might have to re-read this right now, just because.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through NetGalley.
