Description
Summary:Harper grew up loving her grandma Gigi's stories about pretty brown girls with magic from the stars, but they were just that-stories...until Gigi's sudden death awakens a dangerous power building beneath Harper's skin. Desperate for answers, Harper finds herself drawn to an elite boarding school in the Appalachian Mountains. A school that Gigi herself attended, and one rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of witches past. Harper arrives at Black Mountain Academy determined to learn about her burgeoning power, even if that means dealing with Kai, her grumpy ex-best friend now hellbent on getting her to leave campus, and his cousin, Lucas, who won't let her forget the almost-kiss from last summer. But Black Mountain Academy was built on secrets, and the deeper Harper digs, the more sinister rot she finds lurking beneath. When Harper unearths a chilling local legend about the gruesome death of twelve witches on campus, she feels an uncanny connection to the women. But someone doesn't want her exposing the school's dark past, and when it becomes clear they'll kill to stop her, Harper has to decide whether to leave her history behind or risk everything for the truth of her own identity.

Author Notes:Noelle Monét's angst was cultivated in central North Carolina where the air is as thick as the gravy. A Lambda Literary Fellow, registered nurse, author, and business owner, she can often be found covered in the residue left behind by sticky toddler fingers, buried beneath her ever-growing physical TBR pile, or standing at the edge of the sea, overwhelmed by the vastness of the world. She lives on the coast with her partner, three kids, and two cats, Eloise and Greg.
