YA
Toni's ill-advised but inconsequential fling results in bullying at school. She meets the weirdly intense Cass, who uses the occult to take revenge on her enemies. Toni and Cass bond over witchcraft, until things start to spiral out of control, making it clear that there's something more going on with Cass. Fredericks writes well, despite the overt lessons and unsubtle emotions of the characters.
