출판사 설명
Beltane Fire is a Short Story taking place a year prior to Broomstick.
It was my freshman year when my best friend introduced me to the spring festival in Hawthorne University. I was studying for finals, but she said everyone, absolutely everyone, goes to Beltane. Because Hawthorne is weird.
Men in red paint jumped flames. Ladies in white dresses with lovely flower garlands awaited the May Queen. But none of that interested me—until I decorated a tree with a super cute guy. We danced around the tree and had so much fun.
But then I saw fire. And within the flames were disturbing images. Even with the spark between me and my new stranger, it had to end. I think that was the day my witchcraft began—you know, the fire that burns in my heart and soul.
Cadence Hawthorne returns in this novelette short story taking place before Broomstick, the first novel in The Hawthorne University Witch Series. This story first appeared exclusively as a free ebook for subscribers of the author's monthly newsletter and on A.L. Hawke's website.
Content Warning: Beltane Fire contains profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.

Great book
*4.75 stars: book; 5 stars: audiobook*
This is the second prequel to A.L. Hawke’s “The Hawthorne Witch” series. This short story takes place 20 years after the events of the first prequel “Alondra” and gives you a glimpse of Alondra when she is older, a few previous characters and a new set of characters.
I was excited to see Alondra grown up and still being mysterious as ever. I was a bit heartbroken by a reunion she had with someone from her past because I had high hopes. Hopefully with Book one, I will get to figure out what happened with them.
I listened to the audiobook on Spotify. Alexa Elmy did another amazing job of giving this story life. I loved the way she expressed all the characters and emotions better than I would’ve in my head.
I loved seeing little Maddie (Maddison) grown up and attending college. I am loved that she is the complete opposite of her best friend, Candace (Kate or Katie). Maddie is adventurous and outspoken, while Candace is quiet and shy. They will definitely be interesting to read about in Book One.
I’m excited to see how Alondra, Maddie and Candace’s relationship develops. I’m also hoping to get some answers what happened between Alondra and her blast from the past. I’m curious if Liam’s best friend, Bill, stuck around.
