Quinn is cursed. Bobbi’s a magical screw-up. Together they make a great pair. As ley-lines swell, thinning the veil between worlds, the witches of Hidden Coven guard their most precious resource—magic. Protected by dark wards and guided by a mad seer, the coven is still vulnerable to the attacks of a true demon intent on seizing the coven’s power. In this complete series of five novellas, Bobbi begins as a novice spell-caster, more powerful and dangerous than anyone guesses. She will have to become the warrior and protector that the divine Lady sees in her. She’ll lay her life on the line. She’ll even question her sanity. Is it all worth it to save a coven that doesn’t seem to want her? Quinn has his own demons to fight, including his cold-hearted mother and a mystical illness that threatens to take him down. Together, Bobbi and Quinn confront the family secrets that set their story in motion long before they were even born. You’ll keep turning the pages on this paranormal thriller because of its quirky characters, sizzling romance and dark intrigue.
At this academy, your secrets don't die with you. Nadine I thought witches were myth--until my parents died and Grammy invited me to live with her in a secret town protected by magic. Turns out I'm a witch, and my powers are set to awaken on my nineteenth birthday. I'm sent to a magic academy, where I'll learn about the coven and prepare to meet our goddess. It's there that I meet Lucas, a sexy warlock with an attitude. I shouldn't be attracted to a guy like him, but he's a puzzle I can't figure out--and I find that beyond irresistible. But there's more on my mind than Lucas. If I don't pass the goddess's test to awaken my magic, I'll be banished from the coven--and lose the only family I have left. Lucas I wasn't supposed to inherit death magic, but here I am. They call me the Reaper's Apprentice. I'm tasked with carrying the last thoughts of the dead to the afterlife when I die. It's a burden that grows heavier by the day. Most thoughts are more depressing than I care to admit... except for one. I don't know what it means, until Nadine shows up in town. She's the one ray of hope to an otherwise dark gift, and I quickly find myself falling for her. But we can't be together--because there's a curse upon all reapers, and if Nadine falls for me, she'll die.
Magic. Isn't. Real. At least that's what I thought. But now, my story is changing... You know you're invisible when even your bullies forget to pick on you. That's me, Bettina Blair, hidden in plain sight. No matter how hard I try I just never fit in with my classmates. Now I know why. I'm a witch...apparently. One little demon attack and my parents confess their ugly secret...and ship me off to an elite academy of magic- for witches only. I can't summon magic. I can't fight with my hands or my fists. I just don't belong here, and Jackson Lancaster keeps reminding me every single chance he gets. This boy is the most insufferable, intolerable, unbearable, judgmental person to ever have the right to be that gorgeous. I don't care how sexy his British accent is, or that literally everyone else on campus adores him. He hates me, and the feeling is mutual. Suddenly, I'm sent on a quest into the Old Lands to find the only thing that can save Eden from a demon invasion. I'm in way over my head, and my best chance of coming back alive lies in the hands of the guy who wants me gone... The Hidden Witch is the first book in a brand new, fast paced urban fantasy adventure featuring a sharp-witted heroine, swoon-worthy hero, and one epic hate-to-love rollercoaster set inside a magical academy!
“Superb and almost unbearably charming, Her Majesty’s Royal Coven… expertly launches an exciting new trilogy." —The New York Times Book Review "Talk about a gut punch of a novel. …A provocative exploration of intersectional feminism, loyalty, gender and transphobia [that] invites readers into an intricately woven web of magic, friendship and power." —The Nerd Daily A Discovery of Witches meets The Craft in this epic fantasy about a group of childhood friends who are also witches. If you look hard enough at old photographs, we’re there in the background: healers in the trenches; Suffragettes; Bletchley Park oracles; land girls and resistance fighters. Why is it we help in times of crisis? We have a gift. We are stronger than Mundanes, plain and simple. At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls--Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle--took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC. Elle is trying to pretend she's a normal housewife, and Niamh has become a country vet, using her powers to heal sick animals. In what Helena perceives as the deepest betrayal, Leonie has defected to start her own more inclusive and intersectional coven, Diaspora. And now Helena has a bigger problem. A young warlock of extraordinary capabilities has been captured by authorities and seems to threaten the very existence of HMRC. With conflicting beliefs over the best course of action, the four friends must decide where their loyalties lie: with preserving tradition, or doing what is right. Juno Dawson explores gender and the corrupting nature of power in a delightful and provocative story of magic and matriarchy, friendship and feminism. Dealing with all the aspects of contemporary womanhood, as well as being phenomenally powerful witches, Niamh, Helena, Leonie and Elle may have grown apart but they will always be bound by the sisterhood of the coven.
After being homeschooled her whole life, Heidi Heckelbeck enters a real school in second grade, where she encounters a mean girl named Melanie who makes her feel like an alien.
