Book Blurb:
The war with Wiccan vampire, Valeria, is over. Despite a battle that spanned multiple timelines and realties, fifteen-year-old witch, Isis Rivera, and teenage magician, Zack Galloway have survived. Along with Isis’ adopted family, they now reside in peaceful New Salem, a hidden community of witches. They should be living happily ever after, but the battle, along with memories from the original timeline fill Isis and Zack with emotional trauma that negatively affects Isis’ Wiccan power.
A decision is made by the family. Before settling into New Salem, they will return to what is most familiar to them, the Vegas stage. But another show has already taken their place. The Wiccan Circus, a performance run by a powerful witch named Erisa Cross, is now number one on the Vegas Strip. But is there more to her than meets the eye?
The Wiccan Circus’ teenage performers are headlined by Erisa’s daughter, Amelia Cross, a rebellious witch who is used to getting what she wants. And what she wants is Zack. Isis will find her relationship with Zack tested like never before. With her family’s lives hanging in the balance, can they discover the true agenda behind The Wiccan Circus before it’s too late?
Excerpt:
Isis’ throat closed up on her. Breathing suddenly became a chore. She remembered the pressure in the pit of her stomach caused by the sense of fear that came from every single village resident including herself. In that reality, she—no, the other Isis, vampire Isis— turned the energy around the village into a clear but solid dome. As the blasts throughout the sky grew louder and brighter, the dome shook. It was night, yet the blasts lit up the sky like a blinding inferno. But two centuries of experience helped Isis hold it together. She had to, because every man, woman, and child in New Salem would die if she didn’t. She held on for three straight days, refusing to let all their deaths be on her conscience. They had to survive. They did survive—
“Isis, stop!”
Zack’s panicked voice woke Isis from her thoughts.
Energy crackled around her hands like bacon on a skillet. Each of her fingers emanated a white glow. Glass covered her feet and the floor around her. The fireworks had stopped. The farmers, children, and adults all along the grounds were looking to the school with eyes pointed her way. Isis placed her hand against what used to be the window. A clear shield sparked and vibrated at her touch.

What’s the first binge-worthy book you read and why was it a must-read?
Stephen Baxter’s “Time Ships” is a sequel to HG Wells’ Time Machine. It is written in the same style and is a perfect sequel. Both books should be binged together. I certainly enjoyed doing so multiple times.
