    "description": "<p>Encanto meets Hocus Pocus in this perfect witchy romcom. An absolute must-read if you love Erin Sterling&rsquo;s The Ex Hex and Lana Harper&rsquo;s Payback&rsquo;s a Witch! It&rsquo;s just a bunch of hocus pocus&hellip; Essie Winterscale lives in a huge and ever-changing house in the village of Good Winter, in deepest, darkest Essex. She lives with various witches of various ages, one of whom is still a bit salty about having been burned at the stake in 1635, one who keeps accidentally casting fertility spells, and one who knits things that create the future. All Essie ever wanted was to have a normal life but in the end she found herself drawn back to Beldam House because she just can&rsquo;t stop her witchiness (although the ability to instantly chill wine is pretty awesome, even she has to admit). Into this coven of chaos stumbles gorgeous, clueless Josh, their new landlord &ndash; and he&rsquo;s just discovered his tenants haven&rsquo;t paid rent since the 1700s! As Josh is drawn further into the lives of the inhabitants of Beldam House, Essie is determined to keep him at broomstick&rsquo;s length. That is, until a family secret, lying hidden for centuries, puts Josh firmly under her spell&hellip;</p>",
