The Twice-Wanted Witch

When secrets are what protect you, can the truth really set you free?

It's been six months since McKenna Ellerbeck killed her second Archdemon, saved Arcadia Commons and earned a spot on the Witches Council. Things should be good, right?

Instead she's overworked, underpaid and disrespected by her fellow Council members, all while fighting demons on a regular basis and dealing with her mother as a roommate. At least she has her friends — minus Bastien, her ex who told her to get the hell out of his life months ago.

When her friend Brooke is put on trial with the Council and may lose her magic, and with Bastien reappearing to lead the charge, McKenna readily volunteers to represent her. Just when McKenna hopes there may be more to Bastien's involvement and they might reconcile, he goes missing, leaving a trail of clues: a strange new spell he's working on with an unknown partner, a secret demon research project, a ring filled with corrupted magic, and a literal demon hiding in his closet.

With an epidemic of demon-induced blunt honesty sweeping the town, hints of another Archdemon planning an invasion, and her mom's mysterious and possibly criminal old flame showing up, time is running out for McKenna to find Bastien, figure out who's keeping which secrets and how dangerous they are, and decide whose side she's on, the powerless or the powerful.
