Witchcraft
Before HALLOWEEN: AUDREY'S Self-help guide to WITCHCRAFT
From your award-winning author of Babe in Boyland comes a new Adult paranormal romance about witchcraft, black magic, and the pleasures of paranormal chocolate.
Falling for each other, baking a magical cake, fighting an evil necromancer-it’s all in a day’s work for Audrey Oliver, seventeen-year-old witch-in-training. When her mother gets lost and her mysterious "cousin" appears without warning, Audrey knows something’s gone horribly, dangerously wrong. Now it’s as much as her to acquire her own magical powers up to speed before everyone she loves is destroyed by the sorcerer intricately linked to her mother’s secret past.
Audrey's Help guide to Witchcraft is much more than just a novel; it's really a book of spells, a collection of easy recipes, a charming coming-of-age story, an awesome romance, plus an action-packed adventure. As Audrey overcomes her insecurities and learns to protect herself from the wicked black magic of her nemesis, she grows into a heroine we are able to root for-a witch that knows that true power arises from deep within.
Author Jody Gehrman is really a pagan at heart. She is a local of Northern California, where real witches thrive, and she has received the pleasure of knowing several. She is even the author of seven novels and numerous award-winning plays. Audrey's Self-help guide to Witchcraft is her newest Young Adult novel. Her other Young Adult novels include Babe in Boyland, Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty, and Triple Shot Bettys for each other, (Penguin's Dial Books). Babe in Boyland has recently been optioned through the Disney Channel and won the International Reading Association's Teen Choice Award. Her adult novels are Notes from the Backseat, Tart, and Summer in the Land of Skin (Red Dress Ink). Her plays are already manufactured in Ashland, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and L.A. She and her partner David Wolf won the newest Generation Playwrights Award for their one-act, Jake Savage, Jungle P.I. She's a professor of English at Mendocino College, where she will be discovered grading papers when she's not experimenting with spells.
Reviews:
"This novel was brilliant! It kept attention, had me laughing...I had been thoroughly invested in the sparkling dialogue between Audrey, her friends, and her love interest. I can’t wait for a sequel to produce...I’d highly recommend this to anyone trying to find a new paranormal read or, at any rate, some sizzling romance because count on me, Julian is swoooon-worthy!" ~Ivy Book Bindings
"Audrey’s Help guide to Witchcraft can be a laugh out loud type novel. It was straight up hilarious even if Audrey does end up with brains in her hair. I would recommend this novel to fans from the YA supernatural, readers who enjoy humorous reads, and those that want a novel that is packed with mystery, secrets, action and romance. With a main character who is practically Dark Phoenix...from your X-men, what isn’t to like?"~Chapter by Chapter Reviews
"Since Audrey includes a talent for preparing delicious mouth watering desserts, there's also some recipes added too that readers might want to try. This is certainly an easy and amusing story full of numerous likeable characters which i had a hard time putting it down."~Primrose Musings
"Audrey is a believable protagonist...Snarky. Intelligent. Fierce. Funny."~Unsociable Rabbit's Rants and Reviews
"If you want an exciting read involving witches and sort-of zombies, with well rounded characters along with a horrific senior high school enemy, then pick this one up for sure."~I Am Alive Book Blog
Witchcraft
"Overall that one is crucial read, must obtain to your secondary school library. Everything you should know is incorporated in the first sentence with the synopsis: Love Baking Fighting = super fun read! Gehrman makes writing look easy but we all know it's really no simple feat to produce an interesting character with witty dialogue who has magical powers. As Audrey writes her guide she includes anything from Creme Brulee recipes to Protection Spells to How you can be described as a Boy Repeller lists! If you liked Meg Cabot's Jinx, you'll love this one!"~Reviews of Teen Literature
