Winter Wayne Series by D.N. Hoxa

My name is Winter Wayne, and I’m a Bone witch—minus the magic. I used to work in the only place in Manhattan that had use for a witch like me, until my boss kicked me out over a job gone bad (not my fault, I swear). Pure boredom and the lack of company got to my head fast. I was so desperate, I took a delivery job from a complete stranger. It was supposed to be an easy job, clean and simple. It was anything but. Now, there’s a price on my head and my own coworkers are hunting me down... moreMy name is Winter Wayne, and I’m a Bone witch—minus the magic.

Now, there’s a price on my head and my own coworkers are hunting me down. My mad fighting skills alone aren’t going to be enough to keep me alive. Looks like the time has come to dig out my mother’s bones and complete the ritual that will finally ignite the magic in my bones—if I even make it that far. She never wanted me to be part of the Paranormal world, but she made sure I was prepared for it anyway. I'm finally about to find out why. **No cliffhanger. less

Better yet, what if you're the only one who can see her for who she truly is? I was ready for life to settle down for a while after the end of the war that Galladar-the-fairy brought to Earth. Unfortunately, destiny had other plans in store for me.  When a ten-year-old boy pops up in the backseat of my car and tells me he saw himself coming to me in a vision, things slowly begin to go to hell. Everybody wants him and nobody knows why. As if that wasn't enough, my sworn enemy, the Hedge witch Jane Dunham, will stop at nothing to get the kid, and she wants to destroy my entire world from the inside out while at it--her words, not mine.  And she's found the perfect way to do it. I never knew much about my father, aside from what my mother told me. I never cared to ask, either, until that Hedge witch got the idea into my head. Now, there's no stopping old secrets from coming out, and when they do, killing Jane Dunham isn't going to be the hardest thing I'll have to deal with. But when everything is said and done, who knows? Maybe I'll finally get my rooftop date with Julian Walker. less
