Will teaching celebrity kids force her to question becoming a witch? Avalon has taken on the challenge of teaching art to Beverly Hills brats at the exclusive Woodbridge Academy without using her magic. Between dodging tabloid reporters on her way to work, paparazzi on the playground and gossip in the teacher’s lounge, Avalon has gone from zero men and no drama to way too much of both without having to cast a spell. Romance was the last thing on her mind when she took the job at Woodbridge Academy. She just wanted to replenish her bank account without using magic. But keeping her magic in check becomes almost impossible when her coven mates pump her for celebrity gossip that violates her confidentiality agreement. Avalon is torn between the new men in her life, especial the hot wizard she’s dating, keeping her witch cool so she doesn’t risk her job, and winning a coveted junior position in her coven. What’s a witch to do? Find out in Tabloid Witch, book two of the Witching World of Avalon Series by author Karin De Havin.

This richly informed study analyzes how various cinematic tools and techniques have been used to create horror on screen--the aesthetic elements, sometimes not consciously noticed, that help to unnerve, frighten, shock or entertain an audience.

But when faced with reality and a zero balance in her bank account due to her lack of conjuring skills, she takes advantage of her best friend’s Beverly Hills connections and lands a job at the Woodbridge Academy, teaching art to spoiled children of celebrities. Avalon discovers a world she's only read about at the checkout stand. Hollywood trophy wives, A-list actors, and even Mr. Sexist Man Alive three years running. The students prove not nearly as glamorous and almost impossible to teach as they sit texting their agents and using the art supplies to apply fake tattoos. Avalon can't use her powers, or else she'll turn her spoiled rotten students into toads. Already at her magical wits end, life only becomes more complicated when Mr. Sexiest Man Alive becomes her confidant, the Headmaster takes interest in her, and one of the students becomes obsessed with her. To top it off there's a severe threat to her coven from the dark elves.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Popular Witchcraft: Straight from the Witch's Mouth, inspired by the British Gerald Gardner's Witchcraft Today, was the first book to be published on popular American witchcraft and remains the classic survey of white and black magic. Newly revised and updated for twenty-first-century readers, the author--an ordained but marvelously fallen exorcist--tells all about the evil eye, the queer eye, women and witch trials, the Old Religion, magic Christianity, Satanism, and New Age self-help. Jack Fritscher sifts through legends of sorcery and the twisted history of witchcraft, including the casting of spells and incantations, with a focus on the growing role of witchcraft in popular culture and its mainstream commercialization through popular music, Broadway, Hollywood, and politics. As seriously historical as it is fun to read, there is no other book like it.
