YA
Just as witch Katy (Legacy; Poison) begins to regret her decision to spend the summer in France, her boyfriend, Peter, turns up in Paris and invites her to take up residence at the sinister Abbey of Lost Souls. Relationships could have greater dimension, but the story shifts effortlessly between the present and the past as Katy seeks out the Abbey's dark truth.

YA
After being accused of practicing witchcraft on four girls at Ainsworth School and of poisoning her friends, Katy (Legacy) is now ostracized and alone. She must clear her name by stopping a mysterious woman, Morgan le Fay, from bringing the Darkness back. Weaving Arthurian legend into this entry adds a new twist, but the writing remains flat, as does Katy's romantic relationship.

YA
Shipped off to boarding school, contemporary teen Katy discovers she's descended from powerful witches. While dealing with her dead mother's complicated heritage, Katy uses her newfound powers to fight the Darkness threatening the townspeople (including her love interest). The characters and relationships could have benefited from further fleshing out, but it's still an appealing paranormal romance.
