Mean Girls meets manifestation and murder... A contemporary
teen thriller with a sapphic romance, perfect for fans of
Heathers, Sue Wallman and Holly Jackson.
Sixteen-year-old Morgana Merrick is all about control. She's the
most feared, powerful and popular girl at Avalon Academy, while
her half-brother, Art, and his chilled-out group of surfer friends
reign peacefully in the year above, known for their legendary
beach parties.
At one such party, an ugly encounter with one of Art's friends
leaves Morgana shaken. She retrieves the box under her bed filled
with crystals, charm bags and her Book of Shadows, and asks the
universe for justice to be served...
As frenemy after frenemy wrongs or irritates her, Morgana manifests
revenge upon them - and, to her surprise, it works. She feels
invincible. Until someone ends up dead.
Is the universe bending to Morgana's will? Or is someone else
behind the attacks? And can she find out who it is, before anyone
else meets a deadly end...?
Places the typical villain of the story - the most popular
girl in school - as the complex protagonist, full of female rage,
with Taylor-Swift-coded themes of Karma and being the Antihero...
Not supernatural, but respectfully taps into the 'baby witch'
world of manifestation, crystals and spirituality.
Features an unlikely sapphic romance between Morgana and her
mysterious new friend Celeste.
