Discovery of Magick
Tabatha Stephenson - 2020
Those were all part of the plans I'd sort of made with my best friend since elementary school. We'd even talked about sharing a crappy apartment somewhere in our little nowhere town. Then my aunt and uncle surprised me with a graduation trip and it changed everything.No, really. EVERYTHING.For one, we'd not only left our little town of Boring, Kansas, but the United States– no, actually, the human world– entirely. I was going to college all right, only it was one for witches to hone their skills. Boy, was I ever behind. I hadn't even known I was one.

It is intended for mature readers only who love cats, magic, bullies getting their comeuppance, and a HEA.
