The Salty Witch

Book excerpt: A young witch who has been bitten by love before. A drop-dead gorgeous vampire who likes to live wild. Could a summer fling help them get over their hangups about love? Brie has to make up for all the classes that she missed when she was sneaking off to meet her mermaid girlfriend, so she’s stuck in summer school. But after homework is done, she should be allowed to have a little fun. What better place to hang out than the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk? With a seasonal pass, she can go on roller coasters and watch free concerts on the beach every night. The vampires at the Boardwalk are harmless because it’s illegal for them to feed on people. It’s still a bad idea to date one, but Brie wants a little fun on the rebound. Lucinda says she doesn’t want anything serious. A casual summer romance could be just the thing for both of them. Then bodies start showing up on the beach, drained of blood. People are quick to blame the vampires. But Brie sees clues that don’t add up, and Lucinda insists that the vampires are innocent. Together, they could find the truth about what’s really going on… or Brie could be heading into another trap. Can she trust her new girlfriend or did Brie make another deadly dating mistake? The Salty Witch is the second book in aYA urban fantasy academy trilogy. It takes place twenty years after the Fae of Calaveras trilogy, but does not require prior reading.
