I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head.

Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated.

What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Well, Scandinavian noir crime fiction is known for its gritty realism. One of the main characteristics is its focus on the darker side of society. It doesn't shy away from showing the seedy underbelly of things. The protagonists are often anti - heroes, with their own demons and moral ambiguities. The stories usually take place in urban areas, and the weather, which is often cold and gloomy, adds to the overall sense of foreboding. And the writing style is often spare and direct, which enhances the sense of tension.
