Publisher Description
It has been almost a year since Jess Darrows, alchemist witch and ink-making marvel, went from successful business woman to pariah of the Otherworld community when Bossman, a high profile client, dies while being tattooed with her ink. She’s being framed, but nobody’s listening. Forced by the local authorities to pay exorbitant restitution to two community leaders, every day becomes a battle to stay off the streets.
Zeke owns and runs The Yards - a shifter territory in the town of Bayside - and is one of the people responsible for Jess’ impoverishment. He hires Jess to help his investigation into Bossman’s death, but soon the body count starts rising and all fingers point to her as the guilty party. As he fights to protect his people, Jess fights to prove her innocence all the while they’re fighting their feelings for each other.
With fear tearing a community apart and an execution looming on the horizon, all Hell is breaking loose in Bayside.
Customer Reviews
Bewitching
A wonderful saga, which maintains its internal magical consistency. The characters are fully-fleshed, with enough quirks and failings to be believable. You can really root for Jess as she battles through mounting obstacles.
The collection of magical beings in the cast is impressive and there’s enough tension and loose ends to indicate how the story will continue to captivate.
It’s a satisfying book to read.
Wholeheartedly recommend
Captivating and unique.
