"Infused with page-turning suspense, bittersweet romance, shocking twists, and tragic turns, Sterling has written a standout debut." --Dana Mele, author of People Like Us
Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the
real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water,
and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is
a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in
front of a Reg (read: non-witch), she could lose it. For good. So,
Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow
Elemental Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working
at the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists,
goths, and local Wiccans.
But dealing with her ex is the least of Hannah's concerns when a
terrifying blood ritual interrupts the end-of-school-year bonfire.
Evidence of dark magic begins to appear all over Salem, and Hannah's
sure it's the work of a deadly Blood Witch. The issue is, her coven is
less than convinced, forcing Hannah to team up with the last person she
wants to see: Veronica.
While the pair attempt to smoke out the Blood Witch at a house party,
Hannah meets Morgan, a cute new ballerina in town. But trying to date
amid a supernatural crisis is easier said than done, and Hannah will
have to test the limits of her power if she's going to save her coven
and get the girl, especially when the attacks on Salem's witches become
deadlier by the day.
Isabel Sterling's delightful, suspenseful debut is equal parts sweet
romance and thrilling mystery. With everything she loves on the line,
Hannah must confront this murderous villain before her coven--and any
chance she has with the new girl--is destroyed.
