Clever, thrilling, and full of heart, this is urban fantasy done right…
The enthralling series kicker in Powell’s urban fantasy series sees unlikely allies working together to rescue the people of New Mourne from the clutches of a dark evil. The town of New Mourne has always been a safe adobe for humans and supernatural alike, owing to the sacrifices of the Connelly witches. But a malevolent evil is slowly taking over the town, spreading chaos. Brenna, the young Connelly witch, must unite with Sheriff Jake Tyler, a shifter, to fight the evil while facing the vengeful spirit who has returned once again to set scores with the Connelly family. The charmingly flawed characters, immersive witchcraft, dark magic, and delicious hot romance keep the pages flying. In crisp, immersive prose, Powell explores her characters’ inner turmoil, struggles, and past trauma and spins a graceful web of intrigue, tying up just enough loose ends to bring this first installment to a satisfying ending, while leaving enough conflicts unresolved to make readers excited for the next volume. This is a knockout.
