Cursed with a face so ugly it's lethal, there's only one place seventeen-year-old Medusa can turn in hope of a counterspell: Her best friend's coven.Wicca offers the solace Medusa longs for; its peaceful rites and heady power drawing her into a life of magick where high-school students have midnight gatherings, faery heritage, and high UAI scores.As rampant cyber-bullying and a string of untraceable curses leave police stumped, it falls to Medusa and her new friends to stop their rival coven's attacks before any more lives are shattered, or lost.
