Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery.

Being a teacher at an academy for teenage witches is no easy job—especially when your students are trying to kill you.

Vega Bloodmire, wicked witch extraordinaire and teacher of defensive magic at Lady of the Lake School for Girls, has secrets she would prefer remain buried. Preferably six feet under. When a student dies in the middle of a lesson, the administration rules it as an accident. Vega has reason to question this. The death resembles an incident from her days as a student at the same magical boarding school—a death she got mixed up in—which is how she knows it is no accident.

When the principal starts digging into the past and fingers start pointing at Vega as the culprit, she knows she’s going to have to solve a murder from eight years before so she can figure out who committed the one in the present.

Can Vega discover who committed both crimes before she is framed for murder?

This book starts with Vega Bloodmire’s life before working at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches when she was a new and inexperienced teacher at Lady of the Lake School for Girls.

Clean, cozy, no sex or swearing, PG 13—perfectly fine for teens or grandmas who like mysteries with magic.
