Maleficium — Shauna Granger

It's been a long, hard road for Mattie's relatively short life. She's had heartache and heartbreak for two lifetimes. She's ready to hunker down and take care of herself, her cat, and her business, but the world has other plans. The witch community has had enough of the Coven and their restrictive ways and they are looking for someone to challenge the leaders. Mattie has never been interested in leading, politics, or any of the hogwash that comes with it. But sometimes Fate doesn't give you a choice. Mattie will face her demons, old and new, in this new chapter of her life and maybe, for once, she'll get some answers about that fateful night when she was sixteen years old and became an orphan.
