Devilish and Deadly Ayla Atash

a sexy and scintillating modern fantasy where witches get even




Set in a modern-day Ohio city, Devilish and Deadly centers around a diverse coven introduced to the reader through Evie, a second-generation Iranian-American, bisexual witch. Evie and her sister witches use their powers to mark targets who have victimized women and eluded justice in the broken legal system of the United States. They recalibrate the balance through what some might call murder. But, Evie and her friends prefer to think they are carrying out cosmic justice. As the coven plots their most ambitious takedown yet against the sleazy President of the United States, they realize that this mission requires something more than their usual modus operandi for killing dirt-bags. Evie must travel to the underground-magic world in Iran to find the ingredients for the dangerous spell they are planning. Meanwhile, she is torn between her infatuation with Vito, a mysterious man she meets at a bar, and her undying desire for more than friendship with Kitty, the enigmatic leader of the coven. Tensions mount as confidences are broken, and Evie's relationships begin to crumble. What is Vito hiding when he sneaks off to take heated phone calls? Why does Kitty keep dangling love in front of Evie just to go off on a fling with some good-looking guy she barely knows right afterwards? And, will the coven survive murky questions of right and wrong, shifting alliances, and its most dangerous spell-casting to kill the President?
