Mirror, mirror on the wall... Lose yourself in this New Adult academy urban fantasy loosely inspired by Snow White by an author Karen Chance calls "brilliant"... My twin Misty and I may have been brought up poor witch trash in the Gloaming's only trailer park, but our magic is strong as hell and we plan to take this shadow realm by storm now that we've graduated high school. We think our dreams have come true the day an engraved invitation to Eternal Academy arrives. The truth is that we've never been in more danger... We knew we were adopted but are in for a shock when our parents reveal the handwritten note they confiscated just before we got our invitation. It's addressed to two witches who are supposed to be dead. Someone knows the deadly truth our adoptive parents thought they'd kept hidden. The Witch Queen tried to have us killed when we were toddlers, and our adoptive aunt sacrificed her life to convince the evil queen that the pig hearts the assassin delivers are ours. Nobody says no to an Eternal Academy education, and nobody's ever crossed the Witch Queen and lived to tell the tale. If the truth reaches our royal adversary, academy bullies and impossible finals will be the least of our worries. We could lose our hearts for real—and not to classmate crushes. ***Note from This is a New Adult academy urban fantasy book featuring a slow-burn romantic subplot suitable for readers 18+. It is inspired by—but not a direct retelling of—Snow White. It features witches, mages, necromancers, reapers, vampires, shifters, and of course—Zane freaking Anders. If you love books by Jaymin Eve, K.F. Breene, Linsey Hall, Kim Harrison, Yasmine Galenorn, Dannika Dark, and Hailey Edwards, chances are you will love this book!

Kasey Mackenzie lives with her husband and son in St. Louis, Missouri; home of the Gateway Arch, the baseball Cardinals, and the world’s greatest thin-crust pizza. Kasey was one of those students who always had her nose in a book—so no big surprise when she was voted “Teacher’s Pet” in her high school yearbook. Today, she is a voracious reader of fantasy, romance, suspense, and “soft” science fiction. She adores her German shepherd puppy, two cats, playing softball, and has recently taken up knitting. So far she can cast on, do the knit stitch, and cast off. Hey, it’s a start!
