These Witches Dont Burn

In a captivating first novel, Isabel Sterling masterfully blends suspense, tender romance, and unexpected twists. The story introduces us to Hannah, a true witch with the formidable power to command the elements of fire, earth, water, and air. Residing in Salem, Massachusetts, a town steeped in witchcraft lore, Hannah must conceal her magical abilities from the non-magical population. The risk is great; exposure could mean losing her powers forever. Hannah's daily life involves steering clear of her ex-girlfriend Veronica, who also happens to be an Elemental Witch, while spending time with her best friend and working at Fly by Night Cauldron—a quirky shop offering candles and crystals to the eclectic mix of tourists and locals. However, routine concerns take a backseat when a sinister blood ritual disrupts a school bonfire, hinting at the presence of a lethal Blood Witch. Despite suspicion, Hannah's coven remains skeptical of the threat, compelling her to join forces with the very person she wishes to avoid: Veronica. As they attempt to unmask the Blood Witch during a party, Hannah encounters Morgan, a charming new ballerina in town. The budding romance, however, is complicated by the escalating supernatural threats, prompting Hannah to push her magical powers to their limits. The safety of her coven and her chance at love hang in the balance as attacks on Salem's witches grow increasingly perilous. Sterling's enchanting debut offers an intriguing mix of sweet romance and gripping mystery. With everything dear at stake, Hannah must face the deadly villain threatening to obliterate her world and her burgeoning relationship.
