There's a girl who lives in London. Nobody knows her name. She just walks up and down the streets, her hood pulled up over her eyes. Some say that she's a witch. Others say that she was in a bad accident, leaving her mute and blind. Some say she's undead. The teachers in the nearby school say she's ill - but mentally or physically, nobody knows. The general rule is to leave her alone, and so the schoolchildren have invented a game: touch her, and you're dead. Just like Annie Cartridge, the girl who died ten years before. But nobody mentions that.

Of Witches and Warlocks readers will love this story, which is a retelling of The Trouble with Spells, but from main character Vance Mangum's point of view. Loaded with new scenes and dialogue, this story will take readers on an adventure even deeper into the life and mind of Vance Mangum. Overview: He was on the run. Love wasn't an option, But Fate had a different plan. Magic abounds and sparks fly, when destiny brings Fire & Ice together. Reviews: "Vance Mangum landed a place on my all-time favorite book boyfriend list, and no one has been able to bump him off of it. I honestly can't put into words how much I loved Fire & Ice, and how excited I am for the next installment of Book of Shadows!!!" - Christina Silcox, Literary Redemption "What did I think of Fire & Ice? Well, if you could see my face right now, I think you'd know. I am completely, undeniably, irrevocably in love with these characters!" -Raquel Auriemma, Roc n' Read Back cover: Time passes . . . sometimes too quickly, other times not fast enough, but that's not what's important. The essential thing is what we learn about ourselves during that passage of time and how we apply it. Will we continue to follow the destructive paths we find ourselves on? Will we give in to circumstances that seem completely unchangeable? Or will we desperately fight to hold onto those we love and to what's good inside us-no matter how terrible the cost? I only know I would do whatever was required of me to keep Portia, but in a world of witches, warlocks, and demons, anything can happen. My name is Vance Mangum, and this is my story.

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

Brooklyn is an almost-sixteen-year-old girl with normal teenage wants: to be pretty, to be popular, to be adored by a cute guy. Luckily for her, she's a witch about to come of age--so she's only a few spells away from making it all happen. On her milestone birthday, Brooklyn's parents finally unbind her powers, and she discovers her true gift: the ability to cast love spells. Pretty soon, Brooklyn has worked her magic to gain access to the elite crowd, and if she jump-starts her relationship with gorgeous Asher using a matchmaking spell, it's harmless, right? But Brooklyn's life isn't as enchanted as it seems. As the clique escalates its initiation tests, she's forced to use magic to complete the tasks. And if anyone finds out who she really is and what she can do, her life is over, just like her ancestors in Salem. If she can't use magic, what does Brooklyn have left--now that she has everything to lose?
