Book nerd hunts serial killer. What could go wrong?

I had always imagined what my obituary would be. Gemma Abbott – that’s me – a witch, a complete book nerd, and an agent for Paranormal MI5, succumbed to the bullet that blah blah blah… nah, I’m not ready to die, which means I have to work hard to live.

When a serial killer leaves a trail of dead bodies in the open for humans to find, I have to work fast to bring him in. With every death of a female witch, the ley line’s power is mysteriously lessening. Dave, my handsomely nerdy desk friend, is a witch with no magic, but his analysing skills could change the world. Would he be able to help me track down the killer before magic dries up for good? Or, would the killer take us all down with him?

We all start as strangers. Why does that make me so nervous?

I can’t imagine life without Mom, Dad, Bubbe or my friends in Salem. And that’s what I’ll be living at Hawthorn Academy, the campus between worlds. But Hawthorn Academy’s the place to be if I want to join the family business as a veterinarian for magic critters.

It’s magi only at my new school, so I’m going without my besties. The only person I’ll know there is my snarky big brother. At least I’ve already bonded with a familiar. But my dragonet means I’m destined for above-average power levels.

The last thing I want to do is scare people off. You only get one chance at first impressions, after all.

But will I make friends or enemies?

Get the complete series boxed set to join Aliyah on her journey.

Imagine a world where a man’s life force is the battery for a woman’s magic.

Anointed by Blood is a twisted love story about teenage witch Neave, cursed – like all her kind – to suck the life from her true love, Lachlan. He will live, but their Bind is a cancer, depriving him of the life only women can enjoy. Oppressed, broken, bitter – Lachlan’s on the lowest rung of the Order of Witches and he’s going to burn it all down. The price of revolution: his heart, his sanity, and Neave’s life.

Lachlan’s twin brother Jack wants nothing to do with magic. Witness to his father’s suffering at his mother’s hands, he shuns magic, eking out an existence in the mortal world. But when Lachlan enters into a devil’s bargain, leaving him damaged and Neave in danger, Jack must sacrifice his freedom and join Neave on a mission into London’s underbelly to rescue Lachlan from his hideous fate.
