Black Witch Rising (Vanessa Kinley, Witch PI, Book 3)
Celia Roman
A few weeks ago, my brother and I found our mother, the criminal chaos witch, locked in a cage under the control of one of the most powerful supernaturals in the Greater Atlanta area. The rescue brought me and Nick closer, though not without consequence: by order of the Council, Mom now resides in the official custody of my almost boyfriend, the alpha of the Crossville werewolf pack.
I'm still grappling with Mom's abandonment, let alone her unexpected reappearance...especially when she may be connected to the ritual zealots, a secretive group so ruthlessly dangerous, other supernaturals are terrified of discussing them.
Now, a witch has been murdered just miles from the alpha's house, and my former partner at the Crossville PD wants to hire me as a consultant on the case. There's just one problem: another witch is the killer.
And the best suspect may be someone I love.
