When a witch goes up agains MLM huns, you get a LOT more than just a spooky season rom-com. Ritual Income by B.L. Brown is a book that I picked up during one of the many "Stuff your e-reader" events I've come across this year.
Our protagonist, Milla, is a witch living in St. Augustine, Florida, hiding from her past. She's grieving the loss of her mentor and just wants to be left alone to run her creepy antique shop. But C.R.O.W., one of the governing bodies for witches, has other ideas.
They want her to take on an apprentice, but before that she has to be assessed by an Aural Insurance Adjuster. On top of that, she upset a MLM hun who was shopping in her antique store and now all of the hun's downline are review-bombing Milla's store.
But Milla's dark past is more tangled into her current problems than she could possibly imagine. And the consequences facing Milla could be catastrophic.
Ritual Income was a much deeper, complicated and and exciting story than I anticipated and I loved it. The world building was awesome, and the magic system was interesting. And the Insurance adjuster being an adorable Scotsman was definitely a plus too. :)
It's a perfect October read.
