To say Leath is traveling light is an understatement. She's only bringing three things on her trip. One is a silver heart locket—a gift from her longtime best friend-turned-boyfriend Victor Santana. Next is a wedding token in the shape of a J, from James Turner. And of course, she's packing her pistol. That's it. She knows that when she leaves Woodvine, even her mother may not remember her in the shifted reality that will be left behind. Bringing anything else would be pointless. But she's driven by something that eclipses everything else, something she just got back: her memories.

Southern witch Dylan Apel's to-do list is stacked high—decide whether or not to marry her boyfriend, try to stay sane amidst her crazy family's antics, and make a quickie dress for a shotgun wedding.
