Book Description
Set in a fantasy world of hungry goblins, powerful witches and human criminals, Half-Witch follows the unlikely friendship between Lizbet and the unpleasant sarcastic witch girl Strix on a twisted journey to rescue her father from prison. In the world in which Lizbet Lenz lives, the sun still goes around the earth, God speaks directly to his worshippers, goblins haunt every cellar and witches lurk in the forests. Disaster strikes when Lizbet’s father Gerhard, a charming scoundrel, is thrown into a dungeon by the tyrant Hengest Wolftrow. To free him, Lizbet must cross the Montagnes du Monde, globe-girdling mountains that reach to the sky, a journey no one has ever survived, and retrieve a mysterious book. Lizbet is desperate, and the only one who can help her is the unbearable witch girl Strix. As the two girls journey through the mountains and into the lands of wonder beyond, Lizbet discovers—to her horror—that Strix’s magic is turning Lizbet into a witch, too. All while, a revolution in Heaven is brewing!

Book Description
Ariel Black is Hallow's Bend newest resident witch. After inheriting a family bakery, she's finally settling into a town - and a family - she thought she'd never be apart of. When the bakery gets a new catering van, Ariel puts her retired painting skills to the test. But when that same van is stolen and involved in a hit and run, things take a turn for the worst. The body belongs to the Hallow's Bend biggest animal hater - Ted Hornby - who just that evening had suggested all pets be banned from Hallow's Bend. With so many people wishing for Ted's demise, it's impossible to know who it was that murdered him. When Ariel's new friend Asher is implicated in the murder, she knows she needs to take the investigation into her own hands, even when the attractive sheriff, Henry Palmer, begs her not to get involved. When you couple that with her new budding magic powers - some of which have the other witches scratching their heads - Ariel has her hands full. Ariel can do things that the rest of her family can't, and with the mystery of her missing father, she wonders if she'll ever find out who, or what, she really is. When the murder investigation heats up, Ariel's new secret may be exposed. If it is, she may become Hallow's Bend biggest liability, risking the home she was finally starting to build for herself there.

Book Description
The second thrilling book in Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself "An enthralling fantasy in the Harry Potter tradition."—Time magazine on Half Bad Kept in a cage for two years by the Council of Fairborn Witches, Nathan was trained to kill his father, the most violent and feared of the Blood Witches. Now Nathan has escaped, and he dreams of a quiet life of freedom with Annalise, the girl he loves—but Annalise is a prisoner, wasting away in a deathlike sleep. Nathan’s friend, Gabriel, is missing, likely dead, and although Nathan has found his unique magical Gift, he can’t control it. The Council's Hunters are on his trail, so he is always on the run. Nathan's only hope of survival is to join with new allies and old enemies in an alliance to bring down the Council, and they want Nathan's help: they, too, want Nathan to be a killer. Maybe that is the only way out. Maybe that is just who he is now… Set in modern-day Europe, the second book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It's a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love. Now streaming on Netflix as The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become.

Book Description
I'm what you call normal by day, and woo woo by night. As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a "night out" includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local "coven" of small business owners that repeatedly invite me to their meetings-clothing optional. My life is weird. But it's not magic. Magic isn't real. At least, that's what I believed- right up until the moment he walks into my store. Alex Channing is rude, brutish, and a constant pain in my ass. He's also the hottest specimen I've ever seen. Maybe that's why words fail me in his presence. Or maybe it's the pinging feeling in my gut that says he's more than what he seems. But when he miraculously saves me from certain death, at the hand of a monster whose very existence shouldn't even be possible, I'm forced to reconsider what's real. My denial is strong but the reality of who-and what-Alex really is can't be ignored. Neither can the existence of the monsters who hunt me. The truth is, magic is real. And the only thing I'm more in danger of losing than my life-is my heart.
