Witchwood: A Ravenfall Novel - by Kalyn Josephson

Book Synopsis

Everything is changing at Ravenfall, the magical inn that best friends Anna Ballinkay and Colin Pierce call home. The leaves are turning golden, the air is as crisp as a harvest apple, and Anna's older twin sisters are leaving for college... but at least Anna and Colin have finally reunited after a summer apart, just in time for a new magical mission.

When their mission is interrupted by a mysterious attack that forces them to seek shelter, Anna and Colin head to Witchwood, a spooky lakeside town where magic doesn't have to be hidden. Anna is excited to reunite with her aunt and cousin, who she hopes might teach her more about Jewish magic--except her cousin seems to hate her. Especially once Anna realizes that she's a witch, just like them.

But rude cousins are the least of their problems, because they soon discover that witches are going missing in Witchwood. And if Anna and Colin can't stop whatever sinister force is making them disappear, Anna could be the next target...
