Synopsis

Two sisters find a way to make themselves into witches . . . but what they don’t realize is that every time they perform a spell, they are one step closer to awakening evil.

“Reads like a modern version of The Craft.”—Booklist

“Blends the extraordinary and the everyday.”—School Library Journal

Beware the magic in the black book.

When Daniela and Liss stumbled on a way to transform themselves into witches, they didn’t realize that magic had an agenda of its own. That every time the friends cast a spell, they were one step closer to disaster.

If only they’d known, Johnny would never have been dragged away into the night, in the claws of a horrifying creature.

If only they’d known, Dan and Liss would still be best friends, same as they ever were, sad and lonely and stagnating in their small town. And Dan’s new best friend Alexa would be safe in LA, far away from the danger they’ve awoken.

If only they’d known that the magic was wicked.

If only.
