      Auto najskôr začujem a až potom ho uvidím, no napriek tomu ostanem stáť na mieste a neskôr, keď si na tú chvíľu spomeniem, premýšľam, či som nejakým spôsobom tušila, čo sa stane. Akoby všetko v mojom živote smerovalo práve k tomuto miestu, k tomuto domu. K nemu. Jane sa len nedávno presťahovala do Birminghamu v Alabame, kde si zarába prechádzkami so psami v Thornfield Estates – uzavretej komunite plnej luxusných domov, naleštených SUV a znudených žien v domácnosti. Život sa jej obráti hore nohami, keď stretne Eddieho Rochestera, najzáhadnejšieho obyvateľa Thornfield Estates, ktorého manželka Bea prednedávnom zmizla z člna spolu so svojou najlepšou priateľkou. Jane si nemôže pomôcť, no v Eddiem vidí príležitosť polepšiť si – nielenže je bohatý a pekný, ale tiež jej môže ponúknuť ochranu, po ktorej vždy túžila. Dokáže sa však niekedy vyrovnať úspešnej a ambicióznej Bei? Navyše, čím viac Jane vie, tým viac ju znepokojuje Bein osud a úloha, akú v ňom zohral Eddie. Ktorá pani Rochesterová sa napokon dočká šťastného konca?

      Spell Bounds A Hex Hall Novel
    • Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It’s gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie’s estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it’s her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect. As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

As Halloween approaches, there's only one problem - Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow.

But when he opens a magic shop of his own just across the street from Gwyn's, he quickly learns that going up against her won't be as easy as he thought . . . especially after an accidental magic-inspired - and very hot - kiss.

      'You broke my heart, Rhys Penhallow. And we curse you. You and your whole stupid, hot line.' Vivienne Jones handled the biggest break-up of her life the way that any witch would: vodka, bubble baths, and a curse on her ex. That was nine years ago. Now Rhys Penhallow, descendant of the town's founders, breaker of hearts and still irritatingly gorgeous, is back. Rhys has returned to the quaint town of Graves Glen to recharge the ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival. But when his every move results in calamity, Vivi realises that hexing her ex might not have been so harmless after all. As the curse starts to affect the magic of the town, resulting in murderous wind-up toys, an outraged ghost, and a surprisingly talkative cat, Vivi and Rhys must put their personal feelings aside and work together to break the curse and save not just the town, but also Rhys's life
