Spell Fire, The Teen Wytche Saga #3
By Ariella Moon
Summary
New school. New friends. New reputation. High school sophomore
Ainslie Avalon-Bennett works hard to hide her Crazy Girl past. But as
long as her best friend’s disappearance remains unsolved, she can’t
shake the depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder that once landed
her in a mental ward.
Ainslie’s tenuous control over her life shatters when her warring
parents ditch her at Christmas. While they take a cruise to “work things
out,” Ainslie must spend the holiday in
Palm Springs
with her aunt and uncle, owners of a struggling Mystery School and
occult store. Plunged into the world of fire fortunes, dragons, entity
eaters, and an ailing spell book, Ainslie is well beyond her comfort
zone. Then she meets a boy who spikes her pulse and calms her OCD. But
will she lose him once he discovers her past? Or will his deadly secret,
hidden in plain view, be their undoing?

Enjoy this fun excerpt. I did!
I
checked my watch. The meeting had started forty minutes ago. Nothing had
been accomplished. No one had addressed the tote situation. My face
warmed again. I shifted position. Instead of sitting against the wall
with my legs straight in front of me, I sat cross‑legged and hunched
over my book. A tugging sensation rippled between my shoulder blades.
Thor glanced my way.
The
more I thought about how much Aunt Terra and Uncle Esmun must need every
cent the store and mystery school could generate, the more energy
swelled behind me. Warmth radiated from my face. My whole body felt as
if it was glowing. I tried to distract myself by flitting back to my
book and my lengthy homework assignment list.
I couldn’t concentrate.
Hazel
had reached Aunt Terra and delivered what I hoped was the last pixie.
She pivoted and spied me. The energy behind me compacted. It crackled
with huge warrior/ninja/dragon chi — alert and ready to strike. The
thought of straightening up and backing into it set the fine hairs on my
forearms and nape on end.
Thor’s
eyes met mine. Our gazes locked, and I swear he did a Zen mind meld.
Soothing waves of chi — energy — flowed through me. The brimstone stink
evaporated, replaced by the calming scent of lavender and sage.
Hazel’s gaze swiveled from me to Thor, then back to me. Looking buffeted by an unseen wind, she silently returned to her seat.
The
corners of Thor’s full lips curved upward. Two urges warred within me —
the desire to leap across the room and kiss him, and the urge to arch my
neck and breathe fire.
Thor’s smile widened.
