SYNOPSIS: If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won’t stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn’t want to be her? Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too. Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid. WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT? What if cheerleading Buffy wasn’t a vampire hunter but a witch? What if her Watcher wasn’t an old white dude, and instead a sexy fellow magic user? Yeah, we’ll take it! Despite the terribly punny catch line, the cover—in shades of green and gray—is drop dead gorgeous. Indie looks pretty BAMF there, so let’s hope she lives up to her image. This is author Michelle Krys’ debut, but as the first in The Witch Hunter series it suggests that she has a long, fun road ahead for us!
