Alex is a righteous witch hunter. I’m a stab-worthy witch. We loved each other once. Now, we can’t stand to be near each other. It’s my fault. We are natural born enemies, after all.

People call me all sorts of names - bad girl, black sheep, and my all-time favorite...Satan’s bride. I could blame the fact I'm a witch for my behavior, but the truth is I’m infuriating, arrogant, and stab-worthy. Alex Remington is a hunter and everything I'm not - righteous, honest, caring. We used to have a thing, but that was before he learned I’m a witch and tried to kill me. Eighteen months later, he’s back in my life.

He’s the king. And me…well, I’m not going down without a fight - even with the lies and secrets filling the school halls around us.

Als ich heute Morgen aufgewacht bin, war es nicht mein Plan, meinen erbärmlichen Freund Blake gegen vier Aliens einzutauschen.
