As Effie learns more about her family and herself, things begin to take an odd turn. With friends who will do whatever they can to be there for her, a cursed pop star, and her supernaturally inclined aunts teaching her how to use magic for good, Effie soon understands that normalcy is not in the cards for her—and that life will never be the same.
