The Spells We Cast

A secret society that controls magic in modern-day USA and fights demons? Yes, please.

Nigel lives with his grandma, a no nonsense bossy bitch, on their family farm. Nigel's dad, who gives off depressed alcoholic vibes, lives with them too but only contributes via glares and explatives. Their lineage goes back far in the magic world but Nigel doesn't have a lot of exposure to other magicians and ends up as one lonely cowboy. When young magicians reach age they have to compete in The Culling where they either succeed and get initiated or fail and lose their magic (remember Nigel's dad?). During the Culling, Nigel meets Ori and some weird shit starts to happen when they're together. Is it love?!

I loved the characters and the queer relationships that were front and center and found it to be a quick and fun read. ❤️ me some Jason June. Ye-haw
