She's looking for a hint of magic in her world...
Dora Carridine is fed up with her life as a preacher's daughter and sets out to explore the darker side of life instead. If she can find some magic in the world, then maybe she will find a place she belongs.

When she comes across a coven of witches, she takes on their trials to try and join them. But the witches aren't all they appear to be, and Dora finds herself slipping into a darker world than she imagined.

She has to make a choice to do the right thing, but Dora's never been very good at doing anything right...

"Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!"
- Derek Landy, bestselling author of Skulduggery Pleasant.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"The descriptions in this hilarious occult series are rich with meaning, and the parody of preternatural characters are brilliantly human."

"Deliciously thrilling and wickedly silly from the grave and back! If you're tired of depressed heroines, then enjoy this feisty female protagonist as she travels on the road to Hell with nothing but her spells, soul chips and wits to keep her alive."

"I love how Claire Chilton keeps your pulse racing until the end of the book. The addictive writing plus amusing characters and supernatural stories in these books create an unforgettable read."

"An entertaining, humorous and romantic paranormal novel that kept me up past midnight because I couldn't put it down."

"When the demon lord you're dating takes you home to meet his undead family, and then you're forced to attend school in Hell, you know the romance is going to get a bit weird. This was a fun unearthly romp that will make you laugh out loud. The first story is a bit short, but it's also free. The stories aren't overly romantic, so they're great for older teenage boys and girls."

"If you are looking for an action-packed and funny Gothic fiction series with a strong female lead to completely immerse yourself in, then this might be the book series for you."

"I love Dora! Her sarcasm manages to amuse me whether she's being tortured in the academy for demons in Hell or just arguing with the Fallen One in Heaven. Great world building, and the best and most sarcastic characters."

"Claire Chilton not only conjures a YA fantasy world brimming with magical creatures like vampires, werewolves, zombies, angels, demons, succubus, dragons, elves, fae, fairies, ghosts, gods, shapeshifters and a whole range of mythical monsters, she also creates a few of her own. Were-squirrels, anyone?"

"If you're looking for a dark teen comedy that is the goth lovechild of Deadpool and Buffy, then look no further. The novels in this series are fast-paced, dogma-driven, satires that focus on an outcast teenage girl who uses witty banter and a spellbook to become a witch and travel to Hell and back. With light humor and a lot of lols along the way, this Sabrina-like heroine explores the horror of death and darkness in even the most heavenly places."

"A must-read series of sorcery, comedy, witches and demons. I can't wait for more new releases in this series."
