Synopsis

What would you do if you found your late great grandmother's book of shadows - a witch's spell book and journal - and learned that you're a natural born witch? You'd try one of the spells, of course, and that's exactly what 16-year-old Emma McGlinchey does. To her amazement, the candle lighting spell she picks actually works.  Naturally, Emma has to recruit best friends Lia and Shar into starting a coven. Soon the girls cast a spell to make everyone like them at the religious high school they're being forced to attend for the first time. Unfortunately, it fails to make an impression on a group of zealots who set about bullying Lia and Shar for being an openly lesbian couple.  Meanwhile, a love spell they cast for Emma gets the boy of her dreams to ask her out, but the school guidance counselor comes onto her, too. The girls attempt to deal with these problems using other spells, but will they be able to set things right before something catastrophic ensues? Read Emma's own Book of Shadows and find out in this suspenseful young adult, urban fantasy today.

About this title

About the Author

Veteran entertainment journalist Michael Beaulieu's first novel Reckoning Daze was #1 on Amazon's best-selling satire chart.  Like the book's protagonist, it was written when Michael was an anorexic living in Los Angeles himself.  More recently, Michael published the first volume of his young adult, urban fantasy series Book of Shadows.  It's the story of three 16-year-old girls who form a coven after finding the lead character's late great grandmother's spell book, also known as a book of shadows.  Michael again drew from personal experience in writing Book of Shadows, being that he's a Wiccan residing in the book's Massachusetts setting like his characters.  Unlike most fantasy books, the spells in Book of Shadows are all inspired by modern day witchcraft, making the book that much more believable.  Currently, Michael is polishing Book of Shadows: Volume Two.  If you'd like to be among the first to hear about it, or Michael's other books, head over to his website -- michaelbeaulieu.com -- and subscribe to his newsletter.
