Everything You Need to Know About Wild is the Witch
Iris Gray is an eighteen-year-old witch who runs a wildlife refuge in the Pacific Northwest with her mother, keeping her magic strictly secret. Pike Alder, the refuge's witch-hating intern and aspiring ornithologist, makes that harder than it should be. After one insult too many, Iris writes a curse for Pike she never intends to cast. Then an owl swoops in, absorbs the curse, and flies off. The owl is a magical amplifier: if it dies, the curse detonates and turns not just Pike but everyone in the region into untrained witches. So Iris and Pike trek into the wilderness to find one specific owl, and Pike has no idea he's traveling with a witch, let alone the one who cursed him.
Animal peril, anxiety, grief, secrets between love interests, wilderness danger.
For fans of gentle witch fantasy with enemies-to-lovers tension and a nature-soaked setting, closer to a cozy road trip than an action plot. YA, low spice, high pining, heavy atmosphere. Skip it if you want hard magic systems or stakes beyond the personal.
Standalone, like all of Rachel Griffin's witchy contemporaries.
