Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery.

Magical athletics, rival boarding schools, and a murder. Hell hath no fury like a wicked witch with a mystery to solve!

Vega Bloodmire is a witch with a disreputable past. She still can’t believe that she was hired as a full-time defensive magic teacher at Lady of the Lake School for Girls where she went to high school. When Vega is presented with an opportunity to coach afterschool air pelota, she thinks this is a great chance to earn more money to pay for her Merlin-class Celestor exam. Soon after, the principal piles more duties on her plate by taking away her prep period and giving her a physical education class. Vega is in over her head, and she doesn’t know how she can manage it all.

Just when she thinks teaching and coaching can’t get any more hectic, a student dies during a game with a rival team.

The administration dismisses the incident as an accident, but Vega suspects otherwise—especially when more students are hurt. These are targeted attacks that look like revenge. Vega knows a thing or two about wanting vengeance, and it isn’t difficult to put herself in the mind of a killer.

Can she discover the true culprit and the reason for targeting student athletes before another life is lost?

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. GHOUL GAMES is the 5th book in the series of mysteries taking place at a magical academy, but these whodunnits are fine to be read in any order.

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