A story about childhood fears, societal expectations and isolation - things that could turn an ordinary young woman into a witch...
"In the autumn of 1961, Hallow's Eve held a special promise for me, because I had recently discovered that Didsbury was home to a witch. She was an absolute gem of a witch - cut-glass cheekbones, raven tresses, laced up boots and every single garment I ever saw her in was black. She wore a regular pill box hat, but I saw through this disguise: I knew she had a pointy one in her wardrobe for special occasions. I was nine years old."

Since that day, nothing has been the same. Will November 1st ever be a normal day for her? Excerpt: When he finally came through the door, the first thing I noticed about him was his eyes. They were extremely dark contrasting with his light skin. He also had dark, raven hair that went onto his shoulders with black swirl-like tattoos peeking out from his shirt. But the thing that got me all the way creeped out was his facial expression, as if he was expecting something major to happen. "Ahhhhh shit!" Two voices said in my head. "What the hell?" I thought. 'Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Grayson, and the other annoying ass voice in your head is Dominic. We're both your guardian demons!' He exclaimed. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about them.' "Hey!" Both of their voices exclaimed. Snickering in my head, I finally ask them what's wrong since they were shocked when the doctor came in. "He's someone you don't want to be near. You thought demons were dangerous, ohh he's far worse. Us demons are just lapdogs for the devil. But him? He doesn't take orders from anyone." "Do you guys mind stepping out while I examine Zo? It'll be awhile plus I need a little...privacy." The doctor says with a smirk. My parents say sure and drag my siblings out while I plead them to stay with my eyes. "Oh what a lovely surprise I have here." Like my guardian demons both said, "ahhh shit!" This book includes: -Swearing -Mention of rape -Abuse -Sexual content YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!Complete

'Ophelia, what's happening?' she muttered. 'I don't know' I whispered back aloud. The words had barely left my mouth when I heard something running quickly in our direction. I ran, not knowing what direction I was going. I tripped over something and fell flat on my face. Feeling a presence behind me I screamed and tried to crawl away...Complete
