The Witching World of Avalon Series
Teaching celebrity kids should be an awesome job, so why does it feel like a nightmare?
Avalon took a solemn oath: starve to death before resorting to teaching. After all, she’s a witch and they have standards. But when faced with reality and a zero balance in her bank account due to her lack of conjuring skills, she takes advantage of her best friend’s Beverly Hills connections and lands a job at the Woodbridge Academy, teaching art to spoiled children of celebrities.
Avalon discovers a world she's only read about at the checkout stand. Hollywood trophy wives, A-list actors, and even Mr. Sexist Man Alive three years running. The students prove not nearly as glamorous and almost impossible to teach as they sit texting their agents and using the art supplies to apply fake tattoos. Avalon can't use her powers, or else she'll turn her spoiled rotten students into toads.
Already at her magical wits end, life only becomes more complicated when Mr. Sexiest Man Alive becomes her confidant, the Headmaster takes interest in her, and one of the students becomes obsessed with her. To top it off there's a severe threat to her coven from the dark elves.
Can Avalon keep her witch sanity and her magic a secret, or will she blow everything and lose her job and be stripped of her witch powers?
Will teaching celebrity kids force her to question becoming a witch?
Avalon has taken on the challenge of teaching art to Beverly Hills brats at the exclusive Woodbridge Academy without using her magic. Between dodging tabloid reporters on her way to work, paparazzi on the playground and gossip in the teacher’s lounge, Avalon has gone from zero men and no drama to way too much of both without having to cast a spell.
Romance was the last thing on her mind when she took the job at Woodbridge Academy. She just wanted to replenish her bank account without using magic. But keeping her magic in check becomes almost impossible when her coven mates pump her for celebrity gossip that violates her confidentiality agreement. Avalon is torn between the new men in her life, especially the hot wizard she’s dating, keeping her witch cool so she doesn’t risk her job, and winning a coveted junior position in her coven.
What’s a witch to do?
Did she just sign up for the biggest mistake of her life?
Fashion School should be glamorous but why does Avalon feel like she just stepped into Hell? Having to be a spy for her coven might have something to do with it. Avalon thought she was going to ace fashion school already knowing how to sew her own clothes. When she finds out which classes she'll be taking, there's not a stitch of glam on her schedule. If she wasn’t there to help the Twelfth Order and her coven, she would walk right out the door. After all, she thought draping was what you do when you hang curtains, not a difficult skill she needs to learn to make Oscar worthy gowns.
Luckily a fellow student takes her under his talented wing. Without using magic, Avalon just might make it through school and not break her coven vow. She soon realizes her teachers are the toughest she’s ever had, and one might be working for the dark elves. The talents she used to win over everyone at Woodbridge Academy have no effect. Her dream of straight A’s seems impossible without the help of conjuring spells. In fact, the teachers are even harder on her than the other students. Does the school know the real reason why she is there?
Could her class finals be the end of her too?
She’s landed the job of her dreams so why is she on the verge of tears?
The fact that Avalon is hired as the junior designer for the company Magia Oscura even though she never finished fashion school might have something to do with it. Or could it be that the head merchandiser is the doppelganger for the character Miranda Presley in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. She’s just as ruthless and twice as demanding. Good thing the head designer is a sweetheart and the Twelfth Order wizards sent one of her favorite people to be her assistant or she’d be tempted to turn on her heels and head back out the door.
To make matters worse, Avalon has unwittingly caught the attention of the Magia Oscura CEO who she is almost certain is a dark elf. As if trying to find out why the dark elves are in the garment business in the first place isn’t impossible enough.
Can Avalon walk the tightrope of keeping her junior design job and proving she is a good spy for the Order, or will she be forced to use witch magic knowing she will be banned from her coven forever?
