Step into Magic

2018

Not special. Not chosen. But she’s got magical shoes. 14-year old Karina doesn’t know what she wants, but knows what she’s found—fascinating silver shoes. Fascinating, dangerous, and potentially evil. On the upside, they do bring cool visitors. When a princess invites her to go to Whyland, of course she accepts. There’s that little “let’s destroy the shoes” detail she’s not crazy about, but hey, free trip. Alternate world. Got it? Perhaps not. Whyland is nothing like she expected. Karina finds herself stuck in a kingdom she doesn’t understand, with no clue on who to trust. Before saving anyone, she’d better save herself—if she figures out how. For 16-year-old Cayla, destroying the shoes is her much-wanted chance to prove her worth to her father, the king, and gain freedom. It might also be her chance to see Darian after more than one year apart. Does he still like her? Did he ever? But these are not the only questions she finds an answer for. Soon she realizes that all her learning and fighting skills are no match for the truths she’s about to face. Step into Magic is a fun YA fantasy adventure. If you like books with friendships between girls, subtle romance, and some mystery, get Step into Magic now.

Kissing Magic

2019

This book can be read on its own. Greedy, cunning, and selfish, Sian is not someone to be trusted. But when Karina is called to break his spell with a kiss, she accepts it. She’s smart enough not to fall in love—or at least to tell herself not to. But risking a broken heart is the smallest of her problems. Sian’s been enchanted in a mysterious, ancient castle where dark magic has been awakened. And now Karina’s being hunted by strange, creepy creatures and has no idea why. Sian offers to keep her safe and deal with the castle and its dark magic once and for all. If Karina wants to find answers, she'll have to trust him—despite knowing well that he’s no hero. She’ll also have to return to that castle and face dangerous magic. And spend time with Sian. He’s hiding secrets, he might be lying to her, but he’s also making sure she’s safe. Her mind tells her one thing, and yet her heart feels another. Which one should she trust? Kissing Magic is a YA enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy and can be read on its own. Recommended for readers 13 and older.
