A simple twist of fate

April Asher

Book - 2025

"At the bright-eyed age of eighteen, witch Harlow "Harry" Pierce attended her first Fates Festival Finding Ceremony certain the Blue Willow Wisp would lead her to her Fated match, her cougar shifter boyfriend, Jaxon Atwood. But Fate had other plans, guiding her best friend to him instead. With a broken heart, all her belongings, and a vow to never return, Harry did the only thing a heartsick witch could do. Run. Thirteen years later, she returns to her magical hometown - with her half-human, half-shifter goddaughter in tow - hoping that not only would the town work its magic on the troubled teenager, but that the local Alpha of the Rocky Mountain Pack could help Grace identify - and control - her fiery abilities. Jaxon Atwood... was a shifter of few words and even less patience... until his mother retired as Alpha of the Rocky Mountain Pack and left the running of things to him. It's a headache he didn't need, and one that brought the witch who'd ripped his heart from his chest knocking on his door. Ever since the disappearance of the town's Fate Witch over a decade ago, Fates Haven's magic has been slowly going haywire. There hasn't been a Fated Match made in thirteen years, putting the town in serious jeopardy of losing its title of Highest Fated Mates Percentage in the World. But now, something is stirring in Fates Haven, Colorado, and it smells like the past, tastes like change, and looks like A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE"--

Review by Library Journal Review

After a heartbreaking fate-finding ceremony 13 years ago, which showed the love of her life fated to be with someone else, Harlow "Harry" Pierce left Fates Haven, CO, without looking back. When her best friend's daughter Grace begins experiencing mysterious shifter magic, Harry returns home to seek help from the alpha of the Rocky Mountain Pack. In the last year, Jaxon Atwood's mother stepped down as alpha, and now Jaxon is in charge of the country's largest shifter pack. On top of that chaos, he isn't prepared for the return of the one who got away or the fiery teenager she brought with her. Jax, Harry, and their friends work together to figure out Grace's genealogy and emotion-based pyrotechnics. When the town's Fates Festival returns, Jax must face the fear of losing Harry again to see if they're meant to be. VERDICT Asher (Not Your Crush's Cauldron) writes a sexy paranormal rom-com set in a cozy, magical world; perfect for fans of Juliette Cross, Sarah Hawley, and Erin Sterling.--Jenna Harmison
