Witching and Scheming - Rider, Noelle

. .

Résumé :
If Penelope Ophelia Odenberry could make a list of all the things she hated it would include: Sunshine, running out of coffee, her initials spell Poo, bullies, skinny culture, zealots of any kind, people in denial about being zealots, student loan debt, when her dad wears his kilt in a wind storm, having to move home to the bassackwards town of Huckleberry Hollow, Idaho where despite the array of magic and creatures living there, only the old white witch men make decisions... the list goes on. A much shorter list would be the things she loved... which is basically just coffee, dogs, cloudy days and her unfortunately sunshine-y best friend but he can't remember-Artemis Nita-Nusi, the half-bear, half-demon shifter. Now that they're both back in Huckleberry Hollow, nothing is quite as it seems. Between the sketchy Council and the even sketchier Alpha, Artie's dad, they don't know who to trust... which might include each other. Now that Artie knows about Penny's memory spell, her attempt to protect him from her fate, he's glued himself to her side in a fake dating plot to break the spell, trick the Council and see Penny without any clothes. Can a bumpy past and a sketchy future lead to a HEA, or will this newfound lust burn them up before fake dating can become real love?
