Series Collection 1: The Lady of the Lake School for Girls (The Vega Bloodmire Wicked Witch Mystery Series Collection)

Vega Bloodmire has no objection to being called a villainous witch, but she resents being mistaken for a self-centered hag. Her unruly students, cautious mother, and rule-bound colleagues may disapprove of her methods, but when murder threatens the magical community, Vega’s moral ambiguity makes her just the witch to investigate.

At Encantado Charter Academy, Vega’s plans for student teaching collapse when she is framed for murdering her supervising teacher. To clear her name—and save her life—she must find the real culprit. Later, as a first-year teacher, she investigates killings at her favorite cemetery, where clues may connect the murders to her late boyfriend’s death. Other troubles follow: a sabotaged broom puts her job at risk, a student’s accidental death arouses her suspicions, and a Fae’s kidnapping of a student brings Vega into a dangerous confrontation.

From unraveling mysteries to pursuing justice, Vega faces each threat while navigating the demands of teaching and the expectations that she reform her wicked ways. The collection also includes a handbook for new initiates into the Unseen Realm and the novelette “Ghoul Crush.”
