"Love hurts. Loving someone is painful enough, and here you are loving a killer." - Matthew
There is a supernatural world hidden from human eyes. Its always been there, and the number one rule has always been to keep it a secret. Things have never been very stable between the races, the vampires and werewolves hate each other, the witches look down on everyone, and don't even start about the half demons. But despite everything, they have kept their world secret for millenia. But now someone has decided that the human world should know about their powerful neighbours.
Elizabeth is being dragged into this supernatural world she never knew existed, and although she doesn't like what it shows her, there's no going back anymore. She meets Matthew, who has a wall up between the rest of the world and him and carries a secret close to his heart. Elizabeth doesn't know what to do with him, he's a nice person but there are so many questions unanswered about him that even she questions the wisdom of being around him. In this new world of unnatural creatures Elizabeth finds herself in, trusting the wrong person could mean death, or worse. Then there's James, shy, scared, and just trying to put one foot in front of the other to cope with things from his fresh past as well is his craving for blood.
All these people are at the centre of a whirlwind of shift and change amongst the supernatural world. Pressure is mounting and if they can't handle it well, it's only a matter of time before the bubble breaks. And in the middle of all of this, love might be able to shine some light on things. If they live long enough that is.
Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity;
They are its sign and note and character

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
