Witchery

THE HAUNTING SEASON IS HERE AND THE WOLVES ARE AWAKE. Haelsford, Florida is a Hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a new witch struggling to control her powers, thinks as she arrives to begin the new school year at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three. Iris, a deathwitch, who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse, Thalia, the talented greenwitch, is on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her, and Jailah is one of the most powerful witches at the academy but her thirst for power may lead her down a dark path. With the Haunting Season approaching, Wolves will soon rise from the swamp to kill and the humans and witches must work together to survive the yearly onslaught. And the stakes couldn't be higher as two boys from the Hammersmitt School prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. S. Isabelle is a reader, writer, and hoarder of books. After earning a Master's degree in library science, she took that love of reading to youth librarianship. Her short story "Break" was featured in the anthology Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading & Writing YA. The Witchery is her debut young adult novel. When she isn't throwing books at teenagers, you can find her binge-watching TV shows, drinking heavily-sweetened coffee, or stressing over baseball.

The Haunting Season has ended, but dark magic lingers in the shadows in this deadly sequel to “The Witchery.” After defeating the Wolves, Jailah, Logan, Iris, and Thalia want nothing more than a summer of fun and relaxation. But there is no rest for the wicked, especially when Death comes for Iris. She is to become a Reaper, tasked with banishing souls who refuse to cross over. But Iris suspects there's something more ominous going on when Mathew's role as her tether grows sinister. Logan and Thalia are ready to prove themselves as witches. Except Logan still hears the howling Wolves and realizes that the Haunting Season may have awakened more than just her magic. And while Thalia wants to spend her days cleansing the Swamp for good, she finds herself heading to a place she swore she'd never go again: home. Witches have started going missing near Annex, and Thalia is convinced that her father is behind the disappearances. With the help of Logan and Trent, Thalia returns to stop him. Meanwhile, Jailah is focused on her internship with the Haelsford Witchery Council until she discovers a treacherous magic hidden beneath Mesmortes, and there are those who will go to great lengths to keep it buried. So, she turns to the only person who understands, even if it's the one witch who hates her the most. Separated by distance, the coven is surrounded by magical and mundane threats that must be defeated before they lose their witchery, and each other, forever...
