What to expect
'Everything I hoped it would be! . . . Gritty, dark, with a pinch of spice'5 ⭐ READER REVIEW
Exhilarating, dangerous, and seductive, Witch Season is the first book in the Broken Coven duology, perfect for fans of Juno Dawson, Grady Hendrix, Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London books, and Buffy.
Katherine Barnes is an enforcer in Los Angeles' Aestas coven, tasked with bringing unsettled witches - those who aren't aware they have magic until it explodes out of them - into the fold. Once an unsettled witch herself, Katherine owes everything to Aestas and its enigmatic founder, Sylvia Page.
So when Silas Khatri - heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the country - arrives to challenge Aestas's more unconventional practices, Katherine is ready for a fight. She despises everything about him: his privilege, his power, and his coven's dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches.
The fact that she finds him frustratingly attractive just makes everything worse.
But a powerful threat is on the rise, more insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that could lead to an all-out war . . .

Critics Review
-
Witch Season is an absolutely stellar debut from Julia Bianco. I had the very best time reading it! In fact, putting the book down for any length of time proved nigh on impossible. I both relished it as a reader and admired it as a writer. The characters were masterfully evoked, the magic system so well-constructed that it felt real, and the story itself quite simply riveting. I have no doubt that fans of witchy books are going to love this as much as I did

Bianco writes a compelling, addictive story with beautifully flawed characters. Witch Season was a phenomenal read. A tale of blood-sacrifice and self-sacrifice, of the collision of witchcraft and modern life, of the price of privilege. Action-packed, unapologetically violent, and somehow culminating, amidst the carnage, with a gorgeous message of hope. Just my kind of read. Brilliant!
Brigitte Knightly, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

Witch Season pulls you into a world where magic leaves marks - on skin, on memory, and on the quiet places grief refuses to leave. Tightly woven and full of intrigue, this witchy urban fantasy is brimming with magic, betrayal, and an undercurrent of desire that hums through the chaos
