To Charm a Killer
关于此电子书
"a deliciously sensuous dive into Wicca" —JP McLean
"As one of you has spun the charm, now none of you are safe from harm.
One who all felt they could trust, breeds deception cloaked in lust.
One will gain their heart's desire; while yet another pays with fire.
Before the dark of winter night, four souls pass over into light.
Once begun it cannot end, but circles round as circles bend."
When a third witch vanishes from Vancouver, the witches of Hollystone Coven spin a charm to catch the killer. But spells spin ripples and in the ensuing chaos, an innocent girl gets caught up in the charm. As obsessed with the killer as the killer is with him, their high priest, Estrada, vows to find the man and stop him. A Wicca coven. A terrifying prophecy. A seventeen-year-old girl and a serial killer hunting witches. Can Estrada stop him or is he too caught up in the charm?
W.L. Hawkin weaves threads of Macbeth, ancient Irish myth, and edgy love into this mysterious urban fantasy.
"Maggie lifted her long black sleeve and stared at the stinging tattoo on her left inner forearm just below the elbow. It hurt like hell, but she hadn't flinched. An exquisite Celtic war horse, it reared up on its hind legs and kicked out with its front. The body was solid black, the main and tail, a rippling white and black ribbon of Celtic knots. It had amber eyes and nostrils that flared like an angry dragon."
作者简介
W. L. Hawkin is an award-winning author from the West Coast of Canada. Because she’s a genre-blender, you might find crime, mystery, incantations, romantic suspense, fantasy, adventure, and even time-travel interwoven in her stories. Her books have been described as “heart-pounding, cinematic, enchanting and sensual, LGBTQ mysteries and thrillers.”
Her Hollystone Mysteries series features a coven of West Coast witches who solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books—To Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, and To Kill a King—follow Estrada, a flawed magician and coven high priest as he tries to save his family and friends while sorting through his own personal issues. Her latest novel, Lure: Jesse & Hawk, is small-town romantic suspense set on a Chippewa reservation in the American Midwest.
Wendy graduated from Trent University with a B.A. in Indigenous Studies. She went on to study English literature at S.F.U. in British Columbia, and then teach high school. Wendy is now an author/publisher at Blue Haven Press and regular reviewer for the Ottawa Review of Books.
As an intuitive writer, Wendy captures on the page what she sees and hears, allowing her muses to guide her through the creative process. She needs to feel the energy of the land, so although she’s an introvert, in each book her characters go on a journey where she’s traveled herself. If you don’t find her at Blue Haven Press, she’s out wandering the woods or beaches of Vancouver Island with her beautiful yellow dog.
