I rubbed the end of my staff. After a steadying breath,
I repeated the question they’d all avoided. “But if I fail to break the curse?”
He looked down, and Cerise studied her mug, but
Shireen’s gray eyes met mine as she said, “I’ll say it straight as I see it:
you won’t be a witch no more.”
Silence hung in the air.
I couldn’t imagine living without my witchcraft. Sweat
trickled down the nape of my neck. I yanked up a question that’d been stuck in
my throat, the words burning my tongue as I spoke them. “Could the banshee take
my life?”
Shireen gave a single nod.
Genre: Paranormal romance
Description:
Eager to be on
her own away from home, twenty-year-old Aggie Anders accepts a relative’s
invitation to live in Coon Hollow Coven. Although she’s a witch from a
different coven, what locals say about the Hollow confuses her. How can witchcraft
there live and breathe through souls of the dead?
Aggie’s new
residence in this strange southern Indiana world is a deserted homestead cabin.
The property’s carriage house serves as the coven’s haunted Halloween
fundraiser. It’s a great opportunity for her to make new friends, especially
with the coven’s sexy new High Priest Logan.
But living in
the homestead also brings Aggie enemies. Outsiders aren’t welcome. A
cantankerous, old neighbor tries to frighten her off by warning her that the
homestead is cursed. Local witches who practice black
magic attempt to use their evil to drive Aggie away and rid their coven of her
unusual powers as a sun witch.
Determined to
stay and fit in, Aggie discovers not only that the cabin is cursed, but she
alone is destined to break the curse before moonrise on Samhain. If she fails,
neither the living nor the dead will be safe.
Series description:
The
Coon Hollow Coven Tales series is about a coven of witches in a fictitious
southern Indiana community, south
of Bloomington, the neck of the woods where I spent my favorite childhood years
surrounded by the love of a big family. The books are rich with a warm Hoosier
down-home feel. There are interesting interactions between coven members and
locals from the nearby small town of Bentbone. If magic wasn’t enough of a
difference between the two groups, the coven folk adhere to the 1930s lifestyle
that existed when the coven formed.
A note to readers: the books in
the Coon Hollow Coven Tales series are written to be read in any order. The
series is about one community, and its residents may pass in and out of various
books, but each book has its own unique and special story to be told.
Coon
Hollow Coven Tales include:
Blood Ice & Oak Moon (coming autumn 2016)

Sounds like she doesn't have any good options here. Keep her living and maybe get killed? That's something worthy of a Dilbert cartoon.
I really felt her shock here. The stakes just really went up!
Intense little scene, lots of emotion and high stakes. Great snippet!
No choice but to try from the choices I see. But she better not fail. Yikes.
At least she got an honest answer, right? Yeah, no good options here. :S
Thank you, Ed, Amy, Veronica, Christina, Elizabeth! Aggie is out of options in this scene for sure!
