Sister Witch B Austin

Dark Secrets and an Unexpected Magical Gift Pits Two Powerful Sisters Against Each Other!Due to her mother's curse, MEDEA turns into a cat at night. Her mother, DIMA, has a shapeshifting stone. She is 130-years-old but appears to be 18, the same age as her two daughters. NIKKI works as a maid, rather than in the family witchcraft business of fortune-telling, seances, and other witchery-for-hire. She was born a Marilyn-Monroe lookalike. Despite her beauty, jealousy eats away at Nikki because her mother and sister have magic. Nor is Nikki allowed near the books of spells, enchantments, and potions Dima stole from Russian monks. Medea spends her days reading fortunes and conducting seances. Medea gets to keep half of the money she earns, while Nikki is treated like a slave by their mother. Medea helps Nikki out of one self-induced crisis after another out of both love and guilt. She is tortured by a secret that can destroy the sisterly bond between Nikki and her. Nikki has her own secret, and is confused, and frightened by the magical gift she is developing, a sorcery she cannot control, a magic that will threaten Medea. BLOG REVIEWS of The Witch with Nine Lives: "The Witch with Nine Lives is a totally unpredictable book of magic and mayhem, and is fun to read! The author, also, changes the roles of the stereotypes where we root for the witches. It was hilarious seeing the compromising situations Nikki and Medea find themselves in because of their 'skills'" - Rajiv's Reviews "The Witch with Nine Lives is a great young adult book with a mixture of paranormal with some horror elements." - Midnight Musings
