Drowning in a Jinx

New job. Old grudges. One missing student. Just another week in Clearwater.

Lilliann King is back at Clearwater High, this time as a teacher instead of a student with too many secrets. She's hoping for a fresh start-until she discovers her new co-teacher is Maddison, her former tormentor and newly discovered cousin.

Between co-teaching with Maddison, settling into the house she inherited, and trying not to short-circuit every light fixture in town, Lillie already has more chaos than coffee can fix. But workplace drama takes a dangerous turn when Laney Carter, one of Lillie's students, disappears after a fall break party at the hot springs.

Laney's aura has been unraveling for weeks. The adults in her life are evasive. Her brother is hiding something. And a strange man with dangerous magic keeps turning up where he shouldn't.

As Lillie digs deeper, the mystery pulls her toward an old boundary, a broken necklace, and a truth someone is willing to twist into a weapon. Her aura-reading gifts are stronger than ever, but so is the magic tugging at the edges of Clearwater-and this time, it feels personal.

With her siblings' powers changing, Poe offering his usual questionable advice, and Alec getting harder to keep at arm's length, Lillie has to decide who to trust before the spring takes another victim.

Clearwater's magic is waking up.

And this time, it wants blood, truth, and family.
