Freaky Curses

The book has such a fun, light tone but also keeps the suspense alive. I'm curious whether this tone was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way curses and spells play into the story is so whimsical, but I kept wondering how much was mapped out versus improvised. What do others think about the magic's consistency?

The cozy town vibe really made the supernatural elements stand out. I'm interested in whether the author drew from real places or created this world from imagination.
