Located in Adult Fiction (FIC THORNE) Witches!: The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem by Rosalyn Schanzer This book is fun, flirty, and fabulous and I can’t wait for Sally Thorne to write another book. The dialogue between the two is clever and after the book ended I wanted more. Lucy and Joshua might hate each other but the tension between the two of them really makes the book.

I was enthralled with the story and characters right away. But as the tension increases, Lucy also starts discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua, and he might not hate her either. Both Lucy and Joshua are up for the same promotion and neither wants to back down. And they like to play games at work, to see who can crack first and to make each other miserable.

They both work as executive assistants to co-CEOs so they sit across from each other day in and day out. Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other, a lot.
