True of Blood

By Bonnie Lamer

Xandra Illuminata Smith has a family problem.

Not the kind where you argue over whose turn it is to do the dishes. Her parents are dead. Literally. But not in the traditional, six-feet-under kind of way. Nope, they decided to skip the afterlife and continue to live with their children instead. As ghosts.

Life with spectral parents is...complicated. But things get even weirder on Xandra's seventeenth birthday. Turns out, her mom is a witch in hiding. Her real dad? A fairy king. And Xandra? She's the first Witch Fairy in centuries, a being of immense power that was never supposed to exist.

Now, everyone wants a piece of her. Witches want her dead. Fairies want her blood to open a portal to their realm. And her parents want to keep her alive long enough to learn how to use her newly unbound magic, even if that means sending her off with a possible enemy.

With a ticking clock and magic stronger than she can comprehend, Xandra must learn to harness her powers while also dodging assassins. She might just need a little help from this mysterious fairy who claims to have her best interests at heart.
