After her parents' deaths, she turns to illegal blood magic to hunt a killer. But is it worth her freedom—or her life? Maddy never made peace with her parents' deaths. Instead of moving on, she summons her mother's spirit whenever possible. So when she finds the bloody corpse of her stepmother—her final parent—Maddy's world falls apart. Devastated, she refuses to believe it was suicide. After all, blood magic users like her stepmother don't spill their blood without purpose. When her school principal is struck by a supernatural illness after he too suspects there's more to the story, Maddy vows to use her own illegal blood magic to investigate, no matter what the cost. The truth is all she has left, but is it worth her freedom—or her life? Blood Spells is a dark, standalone, young adult supernatural mystery full of dramatic twists and turns. Not for the faint of heart.

Alicia Ellis decided to write books about ten minutes before graduating from law school. She’s now an Atlanta attorney moonlighting as an author, electronics junkie, and secret superhero. With two degrees in computer science and an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction, she loves creative problem-solving, especially as it relates to high-tech things. Alicia writes mysteries, sometimes for young adults, sometimes in fantasy or science fiction settings, and sometimes in the real world. Her debut novel, Girl of Flesh and Metal, a young adult sci-fi mystery, was the first self-published book ever to make the American Library Association’s LITA Excellence in Children’s and Young Adult Science Fiction Notable Lists. https://writeralicia.com/links Website | Amazon | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
