Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery.

When a serial killer of werewolves is on the loose, who are you going to call?

Not only is Vega Bloodmire a teacher at the most prestigious magical boarding school for witches, and a powerful witch, but she also has a curse for getting herself into situations where she has to solve mysteries—even when she should be minding her own business. She thrives when she is able to use skilled and powerful magic, crush her enemies, and destroy those who would harm her students and those she loves.

She is less comfortable being a good role model, consoling with hugs and kind words, and being “nice.” As is often the case, Vega has found herself in a most uncomfortable situation, putting her skills to the test. She is now guardian to a fifteen-year-old girl with cancer. When her charge insists on taking care of an injured puppy, it is only one of many problems Vega faces at the close of a school year.

When a connection is made between a victim who died after being shot with silver bullets and the puppy’s wound, Vega suspects someone is on the hunt for werewolves and shifters. As a shifter herself, Vega understands the stigma of being unable to control magical transformations and the way society shuns those who are different.

In order to pay for her charge’s medical treatment, Vega decides to hunt a poacher and acquire all his silver bullets. If she happens to do something “nice” for the betterment of Witchkin society and gets rid of a werewolf serial killer in the process, she isn’t opposed to the idea—so long as no one tries to thank her for being selfless and good.

Can Vega discover who has been killing werewolves before another victim dies?

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. GLAMOUR GHOUL is the 11th 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.
