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?

Having famous parents doesn't mean having an easy life. After their marriage breaks down, Cady gets the choice of leaving her home in the UK for New York. When more complications happen in the form of a secret romance, she can’t wait to start a new life in the states. But it seems that drama follows the bad apple even in the big apple... Some of this is set in Birmingham in England and some is set in NY, based on my one short visit there. I'm an English writer so I use English spelling and probably phrases. I don't know that much about America beyond research and my time there so feel free to point out any inaccuracies. Cover photograph is from dreamstime.com. Edited by me. Thanks for reading!
