The Vibe

When Vivi was in college she put a hex on her ex. He was never supposed to come back — but now he's back, and things start going wrong in magical ways. Vivi is a witch in a small Southern town, he's a very confused man with increasingly bad luck, and the chemistry they had never really went away. Spooky season vibes year-round.

How this guide was built

Every Sort By Cravings guide is written after a full read-through — not scraped from publisher blurbs or Amazon summaries. We map tropes directly from the text, cross-reference BookTok and Goodreads reader reactions across 500+ community posts, and calibrate heat ratings against reader consensus before publishing. Mood tags, spice numbers, and “skip if” notes reflect actual reading experience. Read our editorial standards.
