Synopsis

Xandra Illuminata Smith has a family problem.

Not the kind where you argue over whose turn it is to do the dishes. Her parents are dead. Literally. But not in the traditional, six-feet-under kind of way. Nope, they decided to skip the afterlife and continue to live with their children instead. As ghosts.

Life with spectral parents is...complicated. But things get even weirder on Xandra’s seventeenth birthday. Turns out, her mom is a witch in hiding. Her real dad? A fairy king. And Xandra? She’s the first Witch Fairy in centuries, a being of immense power that was never supposed to exist.

Now, everyone wants a piece of her. Witches want her dead. Fairies want her blood to open a portal to their realm. And her parents want to keep her alive long enough to learn how to use her newly unbound magic, even if that means sending her off with a possible enemy.

With a ticking clock and magic stronger than she can comprehend, Xandra must learn to harness her powers while also dodging assassins. She might just need a little help from this mysterious fairy who claims to have her best interests at heart.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Loves: 1. People who read my books. 2. My children (Please don’t tell my kids I listed fans before them. You may cause a riot in my home. They’re pretty feisty little buggers.) 3. My cats and dogs when they’re not making me sniffle, sneeze, rub my eyes or irritating my asthma. (Scratch that, they always do and I love them anyway. 4. Writing. (I would have listed this first, but it would have looked bad. Worse than putting fans before my kids.) 5. Good friends (Fortunately, I have several.) 6. Quiet evenings at home in front of the fireplace reading a good book. (Please, like that’s going to happen with five kids in the house - but I can dream can’t I?) 7. I got stuck here so I asked a couple of friends to tell me their fondest memory of me. This is what I got: Deb: It was when you used to babysit Michael and rode the horse in Meijer so he could ride with you. Also......my first trip to TX for a wedding. You were at my house and said you would put my clothes in the dryer when they were done. Needless to say, the next morning I had to pack wet clothes in my suitcase. The airline lost my luggage for 4 days so when I finally got it back, my clothes were all mildewed. (Okay, in my defense – I was twelve at the time. The sad thing is, I still forget to put clothes in the dryer.) Michele: I have too many…but one of the first that popped in my head was how you drove all the way to Chicago to look at my apartment for me because I was too hung over, and then gave me all the details so I could pretend I was there. You are a good friend...(It was only a seven hour round trip. What are friends for?) Joe: A particular Domino’s pizza delivery and you invited the delivery guy inside…(I’m going to stop there because my ex-husband thinks he’s funny.) For obvious reasons, I didn’t ask anyone else. Hates: 1. Puppies, kittens, babies, sunshine, peace on earth, goodwill, recycling, education, gifts, and sweets of any kind. (Really, I do.) 2. Being facetious. (I would never dream of it!) 3. People who don’t read my books. (Well, maybe not all of them. But, most of them.) 4. People who always manage to stop by the house when I look terrible. (You know who you are…) 5. Lumberjacks. (Don’t know why, just do.) Now that you know everything about me, you should drop by my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bonnie-Lamer-Author/129829463748061 to tell me all about you.
