Magic exists, Josy sucks at it, and now her cat won't stop talking.
Seventeen-year-old Josy Barrows thinks she's an orphan.
So, when opportunity knocks in the form of an address and a plane ticket from a mystery aunt, Josy jumps at the chance to start a new life with her black cat, Nine.
Fast forward.
There's no aunt, no house...just a weird junk shop in a dark alley.
And a strange owner with a cryptic message who hurries Josy to the back of the shop.
Into a world she never knew existed.
Josy finds herself enrolled at the hidden Spellcaster Academy...with a now talking cat.
With no friends and no magical abilities, Josy can't stay at the academy if her hot, Enchantment 101 student-tutor, Aspen Rivers keeps refusing to help her pass.
Just when things couldn't get worse, she may have discovered dark secrets about the academy....
Secrets which could lead to a worse fate than expulsion...one that threatens both the side of magic and the regular world she grew up in.
