    About this ebook

    Last Halloween, Sienna turned her boyfriend into a cat – totally by accident. Hidden away in the bayous, Sienna knows she is the Neville Longbottom of the esoteric world. Now it’s All Hallows Eve again, and the young witch needs to help Luke get his body back. But as the evening progresses, Sienna’s nerves are frazzled by her lack of ability and an increasingly snarky cat.

      I’m sure we’ll find a way to set it right, she called to the departing feline. It’s only been a year. 

      She mumbled the last part, sorting herbs into piles, breaking them down, and stacking them again. Damn, my OCD is
