It’s time to see where these new skills will take me. Want to come along for the ride?

Some secrets can be deadly... If you're wondering how I ended up as the only witch in a high school full of witch hunters, well I couldn't tell you. Actually, that's not true. I guess it's my own fault. That's what you get when you end up on the wrong side of a shadower vanquishing spell in front of a human and the High Coven decides to send you a message. Should I have known better? Yes. Would that have made a difference? Probably not. Somehow, I figure I always deserved to hide in plain sight in the midst of the people that want me dead. But Shadowhurst Academy isn't so bad, if you don't count the students that keep turning up dead. To make matters worse, all signs point to magic and we all know what that means - yours truly is in it deep. Between trying to blend in with the hunters, looking for a killer that doesn't want to be found, and keeping my magic under control, I've got my hands full. But hey, no one said being a witch would be easy! Welcome to Shadowhurst kids - the place where suburbia hides its secrets. Too bad the secret it's hiding is me.

New monsters lurk in the shadows in the second novel of this thrilling new witchy series about a young girl in a town full of terrifying secrets, unlikely allies, and a forbidden romance that will leave you wanting more. Everything she knew is a lie... Just when I thought I got what I wanted, life interferes and my friends and I are back to square one. You'd think getting the witch that terrorized Shadowhurst locked up would have me doing cartwheels, but when my best friend showed up to tell me that a secret shadower resistance wanted me dead, I swear I saw red. Things couldn't stay nice and toasty in this morbid town, and somehow, I'm smack dab in the middle of it all. Again. Sounds fun, right? Oh, did I forget to mention that my boyfriend is part shapeshifter and we're basically counting down the days until his animal side triggers and I don't know, possibly kills us all? So there you have it; my sad life in a nutshell. Looks like sticking around will not be anything close to the normal teenage life I wanted, but who needs normal when you're the only witch in a town set on destroying you? Everywhere I turn, danger looms in the shadows and my own dark magic can't stay still long enough for me to catch a break. Attention all tourists! Shadowhurst in the Fall is a deathtrap. Don’t say I didn’t warn you...

It's time to face your demons in the third novel of this thrilling new witchy series about a young girl in a town full of terrifying secrets, unlikely allies, and a forbidden romance that will leave you wanting more. What do you do when your nightmares become a reality? If you thought waking up from a bad dream was scary, try waking up into one. Well, that’s exactly what happened to me. One second I was minding my own business and trying to party, and the next I’m chained to a cave wall with no means of escape. This is fine. Totally fine, right? I mean, I am a witch after all, and witches are nothing if not skilled at getting out of sticky situations. That’s what I thought too until I realized my magic was blocked and no one knew where the shifters kept me locked up. My only hope of escape is River and Goddess knows what he’s doing in Shadowhurst while I’m trapped in this hell. I know he’s trying to find me, but will he be able to get to me in time? Every day in my prison brings new tortures, ones I don’t think I’m strong enough to endure. Not to mention that without me, the High Coven is probably itching to get its grubby fingers all over my friends. If I don’t find a way to escape, I’m done for. Thanks a lot, Shadowhurst! You sure know how to make a girl hit rock bottom...

Your memories are your greatest enemy. Have you ever woken up from a dream only to forget it immediately? Well, that is exactly what my life is now. A waking dream where the people I love disappear one by one, leaving my memories as the only trace of their existence. Turns out, that saying they throw around about memories lasting forever is a lie. Memories don’t last a second, it seems. At least not in this forsaken town. Somehow, my friends are being erased, and in true Shadowhurst fashion, I am the only one who still remembers them. The worst best part is, with my magic on the fritz, I’m completely useless in figuring out what’s going on. Sorry, did I say the best part? I meant the absolutely, positively horrifying fact. It’s surprising how much can change in the blink of an eye, and if we keep blinking, the entire town might disappear altogether. Time is running out. I need to save my friends from whatever spell holds them hostage or I will lose it all. Shadowhurst is a deep pit of despair, and as always, I am stuck clawing my way out of it. I should know better by now, this town is not for the weak hearted. If you’re into living out your worst nightmares, you’ve come to the right place! Strap in, the show’s about to begin...

Lives are at stake and time is running out to save them in the fifth novel of this thrilling new witchy series about a young girl in a town full of terrifying secrets, unlikely allies, and a forbidden romance that will leave you wanting more. Evil is coming to Shadowhurst. Great news, everyone! The most gruesome witch killers in the world are coming for a visit. Did I say great news? I meant horrifying, blood-curdling news I could definitely do without. With the hunters drawing close, the stakes have never been higher for me and my group of friends. Our options are few and the ones we have, I don’t like one bit. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have to hide being a witch again or risk dying. Then again, this little town of ours is full of surprises, and this time, I’m not sure I have what it takes to survive Shadowhurst. To make matters worse, fooling witch hunters is the least of my problems. The nasty fools have their eyes set on the High Coven, and it is up to me to save Sebyl and her gaggle of witches. When push comes to shove, I’m not sure I’ll have what it takes to stand up for the people dead set on on destroying everything I love and, once again, I find myself wedged in an impossible situation with time closing in. Stay under the radar, save the witches, don’t get killed. Seems simple enough, right? Too bad simple doesn’t come easy in Shadowhurst. Not to alarm anyone, but I have a feeling that this time, I might not make it out alive.

Nothing in Faerie is as it seems... They say there is no rest for the wicked. I guess I’m as wicked as they come because I haven’t been able to sleep in days. I thought stepping through the portal into Faerie would be a quick in and out mission. Find a way to close the portal and stop the witch hunters from returning, then get out and back to Shadowhurst. Sounds pretty easy. Unless you’re me and my friends. The wicked realm we entered cannot seem to give us a break, and new dangers lurk behind every corner. With the hunters still on the loose and trickster fae scheming behind our backs, we’ve got our hands full. As we attempt to navigate through the maze that is Faerie, my mind is restless. Who knows how long we’ll be here and what will happen to Shadowhurst with us gone? I should have known better than to put my friends in danger, but that wouldn’t be quite my style, would it? So, here we are, trapped in a realm that wants to destroy us with no way out. Every secret we uncover only leads to more questions and our time is running out. This time, I’m not sure I have what it takes to save everyone. Sacrifices must be made; ones I know will destroy me. And I thought Shadowhurst was bad...

Be careful what you wish for because when you get it, it might be bad. So, so bad… Turns out, our return to Shadowhurst wasn’t as blissful as I thought it would be. My father, Cathan, King of the Faerie, and his fae henchman are here hiding in our world. Finding them will take a miracle. Meanwhile, my brother and his girlfriend are stuck in Faerie until we can figure out how to get them out without destroying the fae. And we have no leads to solve either problem. It’s fine. Everything is fine. Just another wild and crazy day in Shadowhurst.
