My Teaser
"The creature with its pig nose, yellow eyes and red skin jumped up and screeched, revealing long, yellow fangs and a pink, forked tongue. 'Shut yer mouth! I can't stand the noise!'"
- from Chapter 21 of Black Wood (A Witch Rising, #1) by Jayde Scott
*****
Witches, trolls, nymphs
and Silverfurs are surely the figment of one’s imagination. That’s what
Emily Jones used to think until she moves to Scotland shortly before
her fourteenth birthday to live in her deceased grandmother’s manor.
Ravencourt Manor's just as creepy as she remembers it with plenty of
creaking noises, rattling doors and a hunched shadow that roams the
manor’s garden at night.

Ravencourt Manor's just as creepy as she remembers it with plenty of
creaking noises, rattling doors and a hunched shadow that roams the
manor’s garden at night.
In the hope to bring her separated parents back together, Emily
opens a portal to Black Wood; a world of dangerous and alluring nymphs
dwelling beneath the streams ready to drown her, where the sinister
guardian and keeper of the Black Heart and cursed trolls are waiting,
desperate to be released. And so Emily’s long and dangerous fight
against the evil Muriel begins.
Will Emily learn to use her grandmother's legacy in time before the
evil Muriel regains her full powers to summon and unleash her deadly
servants on the world?
Thanks for the teaser! I like the cover of this one. Might check it out on Goodreads to add on my tbr list. :) New follower here.
