These Witches Don't Burn (These Witches Don't Burn, #1)

by Isabel Sterling

My whole life, I’ve been taught to hide my magic at all costs. It’s become this secret, personal thing. Yet the idea of finally showing Gemma my true self, showing her all of who I am, holds a thrill of freedom.

The queer feel when, oof...

With that, my best friend and my . . . and Morgan leave.

That little ellipses and the correction? Oh this hurts. It brings to mind the way, in the Transformers Animated almanac, Sentinel Prime refers to Elita-One-- "my old... colleague," because admitting that he loved her would hurt too damn much. Excuse me while I cry in a corner.
