Almost a decade after Emmy Harlow fled small-town Thistle Grove with a broken heart, she returns home. Once a generation, the four magical families of Thistle Grove gather for a tournament to decide the strongest family, and the Harlows have always been the unbiased arbiter. This year’s competition becomes complicated when Emmy is drawn into a plan to help her best friend, Linden Thorn, and the alluring Talia Avramov seek revenge on the man who double-timed them.
Witches, exes, a magical town, a competition, and falling in love with someone you knew in your childhood; Payback’s a Witch is John Tucker Must Die meets the Tri-Wizard Tournament, set in a town similar to Halloweentown.
