After all, most witches have magic they can actually control, but Lexie's powers have been broken for as long as she can remember. Her gifts only show up on their own terms—usually unannounced—at the most inconvenient of times... moreHowling Creek's favorite local forest ranger is no ordinary human, but she still masquerades as one.

But she can't afford to worry about a crush when she's working to get her magic back all while hunting a killer. As the most cursed member of the coven, does she have what it takes to administer justice and keep the wolves from going to war? less
