'A deliciously dark tale of sisterhood that felt richly magical.' – Lucy Jane Wood, author of Rewitched

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic

In the small town of Gold Springs, Calliope Petridi and her two sisters carefully guard the secret of their magic and the price they must pay to practise it: memories. Luckily, all Calliope wants to do is forget: the mother who left without a trace, the sisters from whom she feels increasingly distant, and most of all, the way the love of her life shattered her heart two years ago.

But when an ancient evil awakens, the fragile thread that holds the sisters together breaks. As their magic slowly begins to fade, Calliope accidentally binds herself to the handsome leader of a rival coven infamous for their ruthless pursuit of power. Battling the sizzling chemistry with a man she can’t trust, Calliope must confront painful memories of her past, dark family secrets, and ancient magic in order to protect the town and all she loves.

But will she have anything left of herself?

A witchy, modern day Pride and Prejudice meets Charmed, SPELLS, STRINGS, AND FORGOTTEN THINGS is a thrilling tale of romance, magic and sisterhood.

Fast becoming one of my favourite authors. The talented Breanne has transported us to a little fantasy world, but feeling all too plausible and real. Absolutely cracking book.

I really adored this book.

Going in, I went in with an open mind. But there is always something about sisterly love that gets me. And this book is no exception.

I adored the main character Calliope, and how she wants nothing more than for her sister's to embrace their magic. But after their mother leaves without a word, that's the last thing the sister want, especially the eldest one. However, darkness looms and the powers that Calliope and her sisters have starts to weaken. When Calliope goes to visit the dark forest, and to the Oat Tree which she's been told to never travel, she accidentally binds her string of power to a dark, brooding Shadowcrafter, Lucien.
Lucien has his own reasons for seeking the powers of the dark oak tree, but what he doesn't expect is to fall for the very Witch he is bound to.

I loved it. I really enjoyed listening to this and with the twists the story takes!

What an incredible story with great narration!
