PRACTICAL MAGIC (STEELBOOK)

Sally and Gillian Owens have always known they were different. Raised by their aunts after their parents' death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical--their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' sorcery also carries a price--some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Now adult women with very different personalities, the quiet Sally and the fiery Gillian must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the Owens women.

Two sisters descended from a long line of witches confront a family curse that dooms any man they love. After Gillian becomes trapped in an abusive relationship with a serial killer, the sisters must use their magical abilities to destroy his vengeful spirit before it destroys them.
