That meant trouble in paradise. I thought nothing of it until Alondra introduced me to a new witch from outside our coven—Enora. Enora’s precisely the sort of witch you’d call wicked. Even worse, she used to be in love with my boyfriend. I just wanted a normal year. But as our leader fought illness, I fought with my friends trying to hold the Hawthorne coven together. I felt abandoned. And my loneliness dropped me into trances where I wandered the dark forest alone. These altered states were created by my magic, but I learned that they were spurred on by something far more sinister. Where did this evil come from? The wicked witch? The old devil? I had to find out because it threatened the people I love.Windstorm is the sequel to Broomstick.The books in this series are complete self-contained novels not ending in cliffhangers. Some spoilers cannot be avoided, but Windstorm is a stand-alone novel that can be enjoyed without reading the first book. less

I didn’t want to lose anyone.And things got weirder. A witch was in danger of sacrificial murder... moreSometimes I'd rather shield my eyes than see darkness in light.It was my senior year at Hawthorne University when everything fell apart.

I didn’t want to lose him. I didn’t want to lose anyone.And things got weirder. A witch was in danger of sacrificial murder. Another witch spent all day murmuring to herself, in the center of a circle of candles, on a pentagram she painted in her dorm room. It all pointed to the wicked witch of the Abaddon coven. If I was right, it might just take a full-fledged witch showdown to stop her.So? Bring it on. What did I have to lose? Just everyone I love. And maybe my soul. less
