Lucy Crow has abstained from practicing magic for too long, according to her two single witch sisters. The equally single children's librarian is fed up with the magic her Crow family has long been known for. All she wants is to publish a picture book and help kids cope with dyslexia. Like her fictional character Crystal the witch, Lucy possesses a special ability to see spirits. The last thing she needs is for a hot, tattooed demon haunting her library.

Amon Ravenblood has lived in the cozy Midwestern town of Midhaven for as long as he can remember. He spends his time hanging out at Shadow Daddy's bar with his demon brothers, or designing artwork at his tattoo parlor. His shadows all know that his romance life is lacking color. Lucy's grouchy bookworm familiar won't let a demon anywhere near his witch, especially one who threatens her with stealing a grimoire that went missing three hundred years ago.

Lucy and Amon are forced to put their beliefs about magic aside and work together to track down the grimoire. The one thing they can't ignore is the magical chemistry between each other. The witch and the demon begin to wonder-can one really read magic? Or is magic like a good book, one that keeps you captivated forever?
