Karma’s a witch.

When witch Jena Seymore returns home to Havers-by-the-Sea to care for her dying aunt, old town politics and prejudices are rekindled. Between the local Westside Pack’s vendetta against her family and the coven pressuring Jena to become guardian of the magical node outside of town, she has enough problems without adding Chase Montgomery to the mix. Especially after he broke her heart by starting the devastating rumor that sent Jena running from town in the first place.

But Chase has plenty of problems of his own, and how to make amends with Jena and win her heart is at the top of the list. Unbeknownst to his pack, Jena is his fated mate, and after her leaving town the first time almost killed him, he’s not letting her get away again—no matter what the backlash might be.

And meanwhile, the node is turning wild, jeopardizing Havers-by-the Sea’s existence as tensions threaten to tear it apart from within. Deep-seated small town secrets could hold the key to its future—but only if they’re discovered before Samhain, when the blue moon rises.

Is it too late to revoke my supernatural club membership?

Hawthorne University Witch Prequel

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Cursed the moment I fell in love with her.


Walpurgis

The Hawthorne University Witch Prequel Series Book 3

by A.L. Hawke

Genre: Dark Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Romantasy



Burn the Witch.

Allie and I were meant to have a future together—one built on love, not fear. But here in Hawthorne, shadows lengthen, and whispers drift through the woods like curses. So when Alondra falls mysteriously ill, I know exactly who’s behind it.

Desperation drags me into the darkest corners of my magic—places where I no longer fear the spells I once vowed never to cast. Even joining a coven of the wicked no longer feels like betrayal. The deeper I descend, the more I uncover about the witch who haunts me… and the shadow that may not belong to her alone.

Walpurgis Night approaches—the night witches burn. But what happens when it’s the warlock who strikes the match… willing to burn everything—my heart, my soul—to save the one I love?

 Book of Shadow

The Hawthorne University Witch Prequel Series Book 2 



Cursed the moment I fell in love with her.

While home in Raleigh for semester break, I didn’t expect my girlfriend, Alondra, to ask me for a favor: present my Book of Shadows to the leader of a satanic cult. She was looking for a new male witch for her coven. Of course, she knew it wouldn’t be me.

But when a curse took hold of our college campus—and the spirits I thought I’d left behind came back—I realized I couldn’t keep the book closed much longer.

Now something dark surrounds me. Is it the work of the wizard with the devilish goatee? Or is it a little girl possessed by something far worse?

I lit a dark shadow, and now I feel only confusion. Whatever this darkness is, it’s coming for Alondra, our family, and every witch in Hawthorne.

Alondra

The Hawthorne University Witch Prequel Series Book 1



I fell in love with a goth, but she’s a witch.

Starting school at Hawthorne University was not going well, until I met my classmate Alondra. Allie was different. She was goth. But she was also mysterious, confident and fun. I was into that. My name’s Liam. My friends call me Lee.

Things got weird after I accompanied her to her haunts. Poltergeists and demons attacked little girls. I watched Alondra help exorcise these ghosts, but some of their evil stuck to me.

Well, being attracted to a witch was one thing; dating one was quite another. It seemed the closer I got to Allie, the more her witchcraft endangered my friends. And my soul. You decide. I chronicled everything here in her book.

The Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

Short review: Read it!

Cherise Sinclair is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Compelling, beautiful storyline of healing hearts, minds and a town. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. The responses of the characters to various problems shows how it can and should be done to build a better life for all concerned. Believable characters with distinct personalities and their own emotional baggage. Thought-provoking, memorable and occasionally humorous dialogue.

“I think it’s because IQ and testosterone are incompatible, so when one increases, the other goes down.”

I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heather’s Story
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

This is Heather’s story who we met over the past several books but got to know more in the previous book. This one is about “those dang Canadians” apparently. The way things go down with Pete were interesting, I did find it odd that Herne kept him alive. It doesn’t seem to be his normal MO with The Laws and such. But him and Gretchen were sort of after thoughts and the tension from outside the relationship was really nil. Most of the conflict arose from their own preconceived notions. I did like mates. I like how we see them over time getting to know Heather but I didn’t like how some things were glossed over, or how we would mention some people and then kind of they’d disappear. Overall I enjoyed the book and can’t wait to see what happens with Moya.
