Wicked sorceress Cora must ruin someone's life before her eighteenth birthday or lose her magic forever, a task made tricky when she falls for her chosen victim. 

***

Cora Emerson is a magical misfortune who just can't get the hang of being a wicked sorceress. Being wicked would be easy if she couldn't help being good instead. But her eighteenth birthday is fast approaching and if she can't ruin one person's life by then a curse on her family warns she'll lose her powers for good. Just when she thinks she's found the perfect victim, naive and unassuming, the unthinkable happens. She falls for him. Love and magic would be simple if she didn't have a crush on the boy whose life she's meant to ruin. 

As Cora would say, "For the love of crows."

Not Your Fairy Godmother by BitterFiction

Sebastian Spencer is the most eligible bachelor in town. He's handsome, charming and very popular. Kat Olsen is just a normal girl. She's feisty, career oriented and but with just enough whimsy to believe in fairy tales. But there is one problem. Sebastian's too afraid of commitment and Kat's not looking for casual. Both of them have suffered heartbreaks in the past and both of them have recently gone through a break up. In the unlikeliest of places, these two find each other and discover, that maybe true love exists after all. Sounds like a sweet story doesn't it? Straightforward and easy: boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love and then live happily ever after. But happily ever after just doesn't happen. It takes hard work, commitment and just a touch of magic. Of course, none of this hard work involves Sebastian and Kat, no, no. That sweet responsibility falls on the shoulders of one Matilda Merryweather. Sebastian's best friend, a fairy godmother, and one of the many women secretly in love with him. Matilda will have to make a choice. Getting Sebastian together with Kat won't be easy. She will face many obstacles, including Kat's best friend, Sebastian's ex who hates him and Sebastian's egotistical, cold hearted, brother, who hates Matilda. Matilda doesn't want to be a fairy godmother for other when she never gets to have true love herself. She is tired of being the side character, the spunky best friend, the mean girl who gets in the way or whatever box typical love stories push her into. She wants a story of her own, a happily ever after. Will things be different this time? Will Sebastian choose her over his soulmate? Or will she have to content with just being his fairy godmother?

Jinxed | A Halloween Romance | Coven Corner #1 by charlottefrenchbooks

Sky Sangrey is not a powerful witch by any stretch of the imagination. She divines the future from reading tea leaves for her clients. She doesn't even have to cast a spell to do it. When a new magic shop, Spellbound, opens two blocks away from her tearoom, it causes quite a stir of excitement in the sleepy little town of Wildemoor, Massachusetts. But it's not the contents that attracts so much attention. It's the handsome owner, Aiden Hall, that has everyone talking. He used to be an influential warlock in New York but no one seems to know the reason why he picked up and moved to quaint, quiet Wildemoor. Sky avoids Aiden and his shop for as long as she can. She has a horrible habit of getting tongue-tied around people she finds attractive. Not to mention, Aiden is far more skilled with magic than she has ever been. No, if Sky paid a visit to Spellbound to catch a glimpse of Aiden Hall's good looks, she is sure it would be utter disaster. But Wildemoor is a small town and she can't avoid him forever. So when Sky finally sets foot in Aiden's shop, her worst fears come true. She accidentally casts a love spell over Aiden. Now he's in love with her - the handsome, powerful warlock, head over heels for the frumpy little tea witch around the corner. And Sky knows she has to break the spell, sooner rather than later. But all she really wants to do is enjoy the fantasy while it lasts.

What if everything you knew about yourself was a lie? Mildred "Mills" Millhatten had a good life: close-knit family, fantastic friends, decent grades and even a not-totally-annoying kid brother.

So nothing could have prepared her for being taken and cast into a strange, vicious world that she didn't know existed and has little hope of understanding. As a Bleeder - one whose lifeblood feeds the Nosferatu - her continued survival hangs ever in the balance. The creatures are keeping her alive because they believe her blood has mystical properties. Mills fears what will happen when they realize they are wrong. If she hopes to survive and discover who she truly is, she needs an ally. She needs to befriend the mysterious boy who's been secretly visiting her cell, even though he's destined to become a bloodthirsty monster. Because she lives in their world now, and if she doesn't do something fast, she's going to die in it too.
