Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Witches of Thistle Grove is a series of Queer Paranormal Romance books by Serbian-born American author Lana Popović Harper, in her debut first adult novel series. The first book in the series, Payback's a Witch, was published October 5th, 2021. The second book, From Bad to Cursed, was published on May 17th, 2022. The third and third book, Back in a Spell, was published on January 3rd, 2023. The fourth book, In Charm's Way, is expected to be published in August of 2023.The series' setting takes place in the titular town of Thistle Grove, a town in Illinois that appears to be an example of Everytown, America to the outside world, but is actually more of a Town with a Dark Secret: magic exists here. The series is kicked off when Emmy Harlow returns to the magical town after years of a Self-Imposed Exile in order to fulfill her family's role as the Arbiter in the seventh iteration of the town's spell-casting, quarter-century Gauntlet. As if returning wasn't bad enough, her Handsome Lech Old Flame Gareth Blackmoore and former high-school crush Talia Avramov are two of the participants in the tournament. To make matters worse, she discovers Gareth and Talia had just broken up and that Gareth was also seeing Emmy's Best Friend Linden, unbeknownst to either of them, so Talia and Linden approach Emmy to see if she wants in on seeking revenge. Suffice to say, magical shenanigans unfold.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Ghost: Emmy alludes to good friends and co-workers back in Chicago, but we never see or hear from them. | |

Benevolent Mage Ruler | |
| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_32c65fcd | comment |
Benevolent Mage Ruler: The town is led by four families whose progenitors helped create the town. While the Blackmooores tend to dip in and out of this trope, the other 3 families do work together to keep the town thriving and protected. | |

Ambiguous Gender Identity | |
| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Morty, and the summary of the book itself, identifies as non-binary, but they state that they go by he/him/they/them pronouns at work and sometimes at home. Not helping, Nina and the book itself seems to refer to them mostly in he/him pronouns. | |

Fantastic Racism: "Normie" is meant for those who can't do magic and is treated as a slur by Emmy. | |

Glamour: Talia uses a glamour spell to hide from Gareth and his fellow Blackmoores in the Shamrock Cauldron and to avoid talking to a particularly lonely-looking birthday bachelorette. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Each founding family has two colors associated with them which makes them easier to discern at traditional gatherings and events. | |

Out-of-Character Alert | |
| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_777baed3 | comment |
Out-of-Character Alert: Because of the long-standing "feud" between Thorns and Avmarovs, when Talia joins Emmy and Linden for lunch and sees that Talia and Linden are quite congenial with each other, she immediately knows something's up. | |

Self-Imposed Exile | |
| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_8d522951 | comment |
Self-Imposed Exile: Stated both in the summary of the book and explained in further detail in the book, but Emmy left Thistle Grove due to discrimination in the magic community and the way Gareth broke things off with her. | |

| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Morty and Nina are moreso this than Rowan or Isadora. Morty only had a few appearances in the first two books and Nina was only mentioned once early in Payback's a Witch, but here, they are the protagonists. | |

Asskicking Equals Authority: Winning the tournament increases the winning family's magical power by magnitudes and even bends luck towards their favor. Since the Blackmoores have won all but one tournament since the beginning, they effectively run the town. | |

Muggle–Mage Romance | |
| The Witches of Thistle Grove / int_b5660747 | comment |
Muggle–Mage Romance: Since access to the magic requires the bloodline of one of the four founding families, the only way outside of that to get access to magic is to become a committed romantic partner (i.e. marry into the family), like Cecily Harlow. | |
