My inner demon is still out there.

Tenebris—the monster who killed my parents, violated my mind, and destroyed my coven sister Callie—has gone into deep hiding. I won’t rest until I find him and personally take him down.

Luckily the vampires have a bead on him, and they want me along for the demon-hunting ride. But with his brand new skinsuit and the magic amulet he stole from a witch, Tenebris is more powerful than ever. I’m not dumb enough to go up against my mortal enemy without the Coven of Fire at my side. The vampires, however, flat-out refuse to let my “non-traditional” coven in on the job. It seems that no one in the magicborn community respects us, no matter how many lives we save or how many sacrifices we make.

Callie was one sacrifice too many.

So screw the vampires. Forget working within a system that won’t accept us. Matt, Asher, Liv, and I may be misfits, but we’re a coven. And our coven is not complete without Callie. Somehow, we’ve got to track her down and find a way to save her. Then, we’re going to avenge our loved ones and take down Tenebris once and for all...but we’ll do it as a coven. As a family. One witch for all and all for one, no magicborn left behind.
Tenebris has gone into deep hiding and Alix and her coven are determined to find him. They want to destroy him and all he stands for all the while risking everything to save their coven sister Callie with a procedure/spell that has never been successful.

The vampires want to be in charge of the Tenebris operation because they feel they are the only ones who could possibly capture and destroy him. The amulet that Tenebris now possesses makes him more powerful than ever and it’s going to take all the vampires, the coven and anyone else who is willing to walk into a suicide mission to find and stop him.

This is one fantastic series! A misfit coven that is detested by anyone in power but is still willing to risk their lives to save the magic born community. Tenebris is like the energizer bunny and just won’t quit making him a force to be reckoned with. Look for the final book in the series, Inferno sometime this Spring!

Matt is my guardian, my rock. But he has a dark secret. One he’s carried with him his entire life…and it’s tearing him up inside. With more honor than sense, he’s decided to turn himself in to the authorities and face unjust execution.

But I won’t let that happen. Now it’s my turn to be his protector.

And if that were my only problem I’d have my hands full, but on top of it all a ghost from the past has shown up, complicating everything. Brutal factions in the Fidei, demons threatening to seize power, and a plot against our governing body are making it impossible to know who to trust. The whole magicborn world has been turned upside down. And we’ve stumbled onto some damning information that just might set the whole powder keg off.

Can my coven keep it together in the face of flawed justice, the pain of the past, and the weight of our destiny? If not, the fragile balance of the Spelldrift could topple into darkness.

Rage, the third book in the Coven of Fire series by Sierra Cross, will keep you on the edge of your seat with dangerous magical secrets, forbidden desire, and pulse-pounding action.

Matt has spent his whole life hiding his true nature and has decided that the right thing to do is to turn himself into the Guardians. Alix and the coven want to save Matt at any cost necessary, but Matt seems to get in his own way preventing them from saving him at every turn. The only thing that is holding him back is a shock from his past that might change the entire world.

Everyone has secrets and some secrets can be dangerous. Rage connects on a soul level with what some people face every day; secrets, fear, hatred. Explosive action will keep you reading until the very end.

I’ve only been living in the Magicborn world for a few weeks now. But when I’m yanked from sleep by a demon’s blade at my throat, I know we’ve got a problem on our hands. It’s not a run-of-the-mill Nequam, either, but a deadly Caedis. And someone sent him for me.

If that isn’t enough to deal with, the city’s most powerful spellcasters are turning up dead and the Fidei, the order that polices our kind, is sniffing around our coven. It’s no secret that the Magicborn community has no love for our ragtag group, and now it looks like we’re being framed for murder.

Keeping this coven out of prison is going to be a serious challenge, partly because of the secrets that I can’t bring myself to share with the others. My magic’s been malfunctioning. My dreams are being invaded. And my brain’s always spinning, wondering if Matt will ever break the archaic vow that stops him from admitting his feelings for me.

Can the only way out of this mess really be risky alliances with a dangerous vampire and a dark witch who’s betrayed me in the past?

Ignite, the second book in the Coven of Fire series by Sierra Cross, will have you turning the pages to get your fix of forbidden romance, dangerous alliances, and deadly magical secrets.

Now that Tenebris is back in the demon realm for another hundred years Alix is feeling much better until she is awoken in the middle of the night with a knife to her throat by another Caedis. Even though she knows it’s not Tenebris she is surprised that this demon knows her name and was sent for her.

To shore up the wards at the demon gate, the coven seeks out the help of more powerful and knowledgeable spellcasters but each keep turns up dead when the members of the coven show up to meet them. The Fidei believe the Coven of Fire is responsible for the murders and begins investigating them and Larch is determined to bring them down.

The magnetism between Alix and Matt brings a little romance to this enchanting story. Witches, warlocks, vampires and wont’s (humans) are just the start that bring intrigue, mystery, magic and more to book 2 of the Spelldrift, Coven of Fire series.

I closed the door on magic long ago...the day it made me an orphan.

Ten years ago, the Coven of Fire sacrificed their lives--my mother among them--to hold off an overwhelming demonic force. Now it's back.

As a poorly-paid bartender, how can any of this be my problem? But Callie, another orphan of that battle, swears I'm the key to reviving the coven. And there's an incredibly sexy guardian stranded on my couch who's promising to help me stop the demons and keep the veil between the realms standing.

One problem: I've never been able to use magic. Our local bad boy warlock assures me I have the talent, but even if I did, we don't have enough witches to complete a coven. The only way to survive is to pull together this pack of magicborn misfits, who have more secrets than spells, into a makeshift coven.

Can we--three untrained witches, a sarcastic warlock, and an overly intense guardian--take back the city...before the Demongate falls and the forces that killed my mother destroy us too?

Goodreads-Amazon 

Alix was born from a powerful witch bloodline but did not follow in the footsteps of her mother. Alix’s family along with many others were killed ten years ago in a bus crash leaving her to be raised by her Aunt Jenn. Only now is Alix learning that it wasn’t a bus crash but a demon attack. Matt, a guardian, was thrown into another realm by one of the witches in the fight, saving his life and trapping him there unchanged until a witch could set him free. He used this time to watch over Alix and train her in martial arts. 

Out of the blue, Callie shows up after ten years and wants to revive the coven. No one will believe Alix that she has no magic, not Callie, Matt or Asher, a warlock she met while bartending. Alix realized that her life was going nowhere as a bartender and decided it was time to grow up.

For me, one thing that makes a great book is the author’s ability to paint a clear picture of each character and Cross did a magnificent job of that. I had cast each one of them as if it the book was a movie and chose who I was rooting for. Rise is the first book of the Spelldrift: Coven of Fire series which will have a total of five books. As the story continues I hope we get a more in-depth look at some of the other characters which will only increase the enjoyment of the stories.

Be sure to check back often. Denise reviews books 2-4 too!
