Magic. Witches. Curses.
They Aren't Real. . . Right?

Izzy Beswick is a typical high school senior. Well, except for the incident with Sondra and the fact that Izzy doesn’t remember exactly what happened. Luckily, Izzy and her dad inherit a house from Izzy's Gran-gran in East Gate, Connecticut. The timing seems perfect. Plus, her childhood crush lives in East Gate, so how bad could it be?

Soon after moving, strange things happen, and Izzy learns of rumors surrounding her late relative. Nearly everyone in town believes Gran-gran was a cursed witch, including her new friends: Jessa, Tahlia, and Margo. Eager to find out more about these tales, the three girls insert themselves into Izzy's life, controlling her every move. To make matters worse, her crush is ghosting her. Does he simply not remember her, or does he believe the rumors?

After the girls discover a spellbook, they become mixed up with dangerous forces, proving Izzy is not only a witch, but a witch with a three-century old curse. Willingly, they perform a magical spell that comes with a heavy warning, hoping to undo the curse.

When the spell goes awry and enemies intervene, Izzy must save the people she cares about—including her crush—before it’s too late.




The Hunter's Curse: Book Two

IT TURNS OUT WITCHES ARE REAL. . . AND SO ARE THE ONES THAT HUNT THEM.

Born into a bloodline tainted with a dark history, Izzy Beswick has accepted the life chosen for her.

Her boyfriend Riley is a hunter, and he’s compelled to kill witches. With his eighteenth birthday approaching, time isn’t on their side. Izzy and her friends must find a way to stop this curse, or they will be torn apart forever.

But in this world of magic and curses, hunters aren’t the only threat. When an unexpected visitor arrives, it throws everyone into a frenzy. Izzy needs to quickly learn to harness her powers to keep her loved ones safe, and Callen is the perfect person to help her. As she grows closer to him and their undeniable bond intensifies, she pushes Riley further away.

Can Izzy and her friends find a way to stop Riley from transforming into a cold-hearted hunter before other dark forces intervene? Or will Izzy have to give up on the boy she loves?




The Coven's Curse: Book Three
**Nominated for Best YA Novel, Best Book Cover, Series I'm Hooked On, and Fearless Female Storyteller in the IndieVerse Book Awards 2025**


THE WITCHES OF EAST GATE HAVE NOT ONE BUT TWO CURSES TO BREAK.

Izzy and her coven face their most daunting challenge yet. Cursed and robbed of their magic, they’re vulnerable and defenseless. A mysterious stranger’s arrival in East Gate only raises more questions, while another sinister threat emerges, making them doubt if the rival coven is their sole adversary.

To make matters worse, Riley’s grappling with his uncontrollable hunter urges, forcing him to keep his distance from Izzy. Heartbroken, Izzy turns to Callen for comfort until she uncovers a shocking secret that could change everything.

With time running out, the coven must rally together and find a way to break the curses and regain their magic before it’s too late.

Can the coven overcome the darkness that binds them and shatter the curses once and for all?

My Review:

When I stumbled upon the summary for The Dark Magic Series, I knew I had to dive in, as it promised to explore the captivating history of the Salem Witch Trials. Eager to immerse myself in this intriguing topic, I began reading, and what I discovered was far more than I had anticipated.

The Dark Magic Series captivated me with its gripping mystery and suspense, keeping me on the edge of my seat, eagerly flipping through the pages. The narrative was filled with unexpected twists and turns, leaving me craving to uncover what lay ahead. The suspenseful nature of the story had me in a state of turmoil, racing to the next chapter to witness the unfolding events.

The Dark Magic Series is a captivating tale that had me hooked until the very end, as I eagerly followed Izzy's journey and the unraveling of the mysterious curses. The story was so engaging that I couldn't help but feel the characters' emotions and anticipation alongside them.

I fell head over heels for this series from the moment I read the first book, The Bloodline Curse, and my affection only grew stronger after The Hunter's Curse. While I was saddened to bid farewell to Izzy and Callen in The Coven's Curse, I can't help but hope for more adventures with these beloved characters.

If you're a fan of witchcraft, especially the rich history of the Salem witches, I highly recommend diving into The Dark Magic Series. Grab a copy today and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Izzy and her family!
