Magical Miri

2020

They had it wrong when they said with great power comes great responsibility. More like, great power comes with a target on your back. And considering my bloodline is derived from one of the strongest witches in New Orleans’ past, the target on my back is huge. Of course, that’s not how mom explained it when she ripped us from our home in the Garden District and forced me to start a new school in the French Quarter—a place where my family isn't welcome. No, she said she was just ‘trying to protect us from fanciful ideas. But now I'm being preyed on by vampires and haunted by a creepy, stalker ancestor in my head, and the only silver lining is Phillip, my could-be boyfriend. So why does Mom's boyfriend seem dead set on chasing him away? Finding out is easier said than done with the devil in the work sleeping under the same roof, but if I don’t, it will be more than life as I know it crashing down around me. It’ll be the supernatural world swallowing me whole. This fast-paced, action-packed, young adult paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magical bloodline family, is ideal for fans of The Bane Chronicles and The Originals.

But my foster family isn’t open to hearing my personal issues and my birth family, well… Six years ago, my mom started using different names for us and my dad disappeared. Everyone I ever knew forgot who I was. No one seems to remember. No one, but me. And now, my real mom is ill (my fault, my touch) and in need of a full-time caregiver. I know my dad is still out there somewhere. I can feel him in the current that runs through my veins. When a girl from my past approaches and tells me she not only remembers me, but that we are family—my dad’s family, I am leery. But I’m willing to do anything to find my missing dad, and if that means working with “supposed” family, so be it. I never expected the search to bring so much supernatural activity into my life. Dark elements don’t want my father found. Can I bring him home without becoming a victim of evil magick or vampires?
