The Grand Coven of Great Britain, Ireland, and All Isles Within Their Domain's glory days are in the past, but it remains the governing body for all witches in Britain. When members of the Coven start turning up dead, it seems as if someone is settling some old scores or launching a power-grab, or both. It's going to take a witch with considerable power to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice before the entire Coven is eliminated. Holly is the obvious witch for the job, but first, she has to avoid joining the list of the recently deceased, or being found guilty of the growing number of murders.

"Witchlight is an enchanting read that will tickle the reader with its humor and adventure." Darcie Cameron, The San Francisco Book Review" Darcie Cameron, The San Francisco Book Review Holly has had a year to deal with the family-sized portion of Old Magic she has inherited. Her focus is on the future, but when both the Coven and the past come calling, the future she has imagined seems to be slipping from her grasp.If the past is truly a different country, it turns out it is a dark and bloody one that shares a border with the present - a border that is frequently crossed.Holly needs to right a past wrong and lay some old ghosts, without becoming one herself, if she is to come to terms with her present and claim her future.

"Harry Potter for the grown-up crowd." Holly has been mortal all her life. Now at thirty-eight, her fairy godfather arrives to tell her she's a witch, and suddenly she's having to come to terms with the uncertainties of an alarmingly magic-fueled world. Magic is not like it is in the books and films, and Holly starts to doubt whether her fairy godfather, Partridge Mayflower, is the fey, avuncular charmer he appears. As a new romance blooms, appearances become magically deceptive, and Holly can't afford to trust those closest to her, including herself. Accidents start to happen, people die, Old Magic is on the hunt, but in the age-old game of cat and mouse, just who is the feline and who is the rodent? An unusual take on the fantasy chick lit genre, Witchlight is no ordinary paranormal romance, and Holly is no ordinary witch. J.S. Watt proves that wonder, magic ― and love ― wait around the corner at every stage in life. And just when we think we have it all figured out, fate sets us on another unexpected adventure and has us fighting to protect our own."Holly girl, you are all too human, I can assure you. Prickly and awkward and human, because that's what witches are ― human, that is. Not necessarily the prickly and annoying bit. That's just you."Witchlight is a Paranormal Women's Fiction novel. If you love strong female magic users, dry humor, and a dash of romance, you'll love Holly Jepps and Witchlight, the first book in the Witchlight series. "I was a fan of Holly from the first page." - GoodReads Reviewer"Witchlight is an enchanting read that will tickle the reader with its humor and adventure."
