Books with title The Witch Squad

Just over the hill stood a shack where the most beautiful woman you ever laid eyes on lived. Her hair was blonde and wavy with eyes as blue as the sky. Her figure would make any man lose his breath. The only thing wrong with this picture was, she's a Witch. Her name is Sarah and an evil Witch at that. Her mother had her out of wedlock. Sarah's mother kept her pregnancy secret from her parent's until one day when her father opened her bedroom door to scold her about something. Her father heard a baby's cry and said, "Did I just hear a baby's cry?"No! No! Father," cried Sarah's Mother.Her father pushed her aside from her closet door. Opened the door and shouted to the top of his lungs. "I want this baby out of my house by morning and that's an order," said her father in an angry voice. Sarah's Mother was only sixteen years old when she had Sarah. Having a baby out of wedlock and especially at sixteen was a disgrace to the family.The next morning Sarah's Mother carried her newborn baby Sarah into town looking for a good home for her daughter. Sarah's Mother came across this shack where a sweet old lady lives. She asked the old woman to take her baby and love her as her own. The old lady accepted and asked her. "Why are you giving up your baby? I'm just an old woman.""My father will kill me and my baby if I don't get rid of this problem. That's his exact words," replied Sarah with a river of tears flowing down her cheeks.Sarah's mother had no idea who the old lady was and if she did she would not have left her in her care.

Nineteen year old Mercy Habernackle is a witch gone off the rails. Causing problems with the law in her hometown, she’s faced with two options. Go to a correctional institution or get shipped off to witch boarding school, or as her mother prefers to call it, finishing school. Choosing the latter, Mercy’s mother, Linda, drives her daughter cross country to the Paranormal Institute for Witches, situated high in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in cozy, Aspen Falls, Pennsylvania. Upon arrival, Mercy is faced with cheerful smiles, friendly people, and a sticky sweet roommate who has turned their dorm room into an advertisement for the Pottery Barn. Mercy had hoped her fellow witches would be more like her, dark, dreary, and a little bit self-destructive. When the murder of a local teenager takes place on the first day of class, Sorceress Stone, headmistress of the college for wayward witches, takes the class on a consulting job to help the Aspen Falls Police Department solve the murder.

A seafaring novel that would delight nautical readers!(The Columbia Review of Books and Film)“The Sea Witch” provides a wonderful...opportunity to sail back in time to an era when...crossing the sea was a true adventure, and when men risked their lives for glory, wealth, and love.Originally written by Alexander Laing..., the novel has been revised and edited by his son, author David Bennett Laing, presenting a wonderfully improved text that [is] more palatable to the modern reader, yet diminishes nothing from the charm of the original.“The Sea Witch” offers historic fiction at its best. Rooted in true facts surrounding one of the fastest sailing ships in history..., the novel is populated by fictional characters, who are truly genuine to their time and place. The ship itself, a swift and beautiful American clipper [plying] the China tea trade and the California gold rush, is the pivot around which the lives of three brothers revolve as shipmaster (and his wife), first mate, and carpenter. Adventure, romance, and...greed, send them literally across the oceans. While the impetus might have been trade and profit, “The Sea Witch” whips up magic far beyond ports of call and cargo manifests. Bitter business rivalries and fiery romantic conflicts mix with the awesome forces of the sea (and human folly) to provide plenty of action and suspense, while the authenticity of foreign locales and the customs of [the] mid-nineteen century make for a lifelike reading experience that rivals time travel.“The Sea Witch,” at its essence, is a classic seafaring tale, enriched to a great extent by carefully researched details of the era’s shipbuilding, finance, international trade, and the men and women of the time, driven by bold courage that’s hard to imagine in today’s world. This novel would surely delight readers who enjoy great nautical books, from the true accounts of Captain Joshua Slocum and Bernard Moitessier to the fictional adventures of Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” and Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series. Highly recommended!(The Columbia Review of Books and Film)

Have you ever wondered why villains are what they are? Is a villainous heart instilled at birth, or do decisions and actions warp a good heart into a villainous one? Though she works as a palace maid, Serena is no ordinary mermaid. From birth she manifested the magical powers of a sea witch, just like her mother, Moira. But Serena does not want to be like her mother, cruel and selfish, so she rejects her magical powers. At least until her ever growing love for the unattainable Prince Triton pushes her to her breaking point. Just when it seems he’s taken notice, that she could actually win his heart, his mother, Queen Amphitrite, makes it clear her son will never marry a palace maid, much less the daughter of a sea witch with a seedy reputation. Serena’s dreams are slipping through her fingers, and she must decide if she is willing to embrace her magical powers and take her dreams by force. Magic could solve all her problems, or so she thinks, but at what price?

In this important new novel, Miss Johnston goes back to the field of some of her earlier successes -- the spacious Elizabethan times. The story opens in the death chamber of the great Queen, and with that uncanny power of historic resurrection of which Miss Johnston is master, the reader is made to feel the great issues that are hanging in the balance, -- issues of thought and faith within England itself, issues of imperialistic destiny in the great colonies overseas. The two chief characters are Joan Heron, a beautiful girl of strong, original nature, and Dr. Aderhold, a thinker in advance of his time. As the plot develops, not only is Aderhold suspected of atheism and unholy practices in the black art, but Joan is accused of witchcraft. They are arrested, and sentenced to death, but escape, and take ship for Virginia. As the voyage progresses, her sex and identity are suspected, and she and Aderhold are cast adrift in an open boat. This catastrophe, however, is not final, and in the Bahamas and later in England, the story comes to its impressive ending. As a historic picture, the story is exceptionally strong, and perhaps the impression that will live longest is that of the marvelous Elizabethan world of adventure, controversy, passion, and vital personality.
