Infused with page-turning suspense, bittersweet romance, shocking
twists, and tragic turns, Sterling has written a standout debut.
--Dana Mele, author of People Like Us Hannah's a witch, but not the
kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the
power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she
lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to
keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg
(read: non-witch), she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends
most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow Elemental
Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working at
the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists,
goths, and local Wiccans. But dealing with her ex is the least of
Hannah's concerns when a terrifying blood ritual interrupts the
end-of-school-year bonfire. Evidence of dark magic begins to appear
all over Salem, and Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood
Witch. The issue is, her coven is less than convinced, forcing
Hannah to team up with the last person she wants to see: Veronica.
While the pair attempt to smoke out the Blood Witch at a house
party, Hannah meets Morgan, a cute new ballerina in town. But
trying to date amid a supernatural crisis is easier said than done,
and Hannah will have to test the limits of her power if she's going
to save her coven and get the girl, especially when the attacks on
Salem's witches become deadlier by the day. Isabel Sterling's
delightful, suspenseful debut is equal parts sweet romance and
thrilling mystery. With everything she loves on the line, Hannah
must confront this murderous villain before her coven--and any
chance she has with the new girl--is destroyed.
