The Bewitching Hour (a Tara Maclay Prequel), Hardcover

Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan-favorite and LGBTQIA+ icon Tara Maclay becomes the main character in this prequel full of '90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and a star-crossed sapphic romance, written by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Ashley Poston. Tara Maclay isn't thrilled to be in a new town for her senior year of high school. If she can keep her head down, though, then maybe she can make it through unscathed. Of course, her plan falls apart immediately: dead students start turning up around her, and the girl Tara's crushing on turns out to be a witch-hunter. So maybe it's Tara's magic malfunctioning isn't the worst thing. As the body count rises, Tara has to get past her fears and reconnect with her magic to save the town--even if it means putting her new relationship at risk.

Ashley Poston is the USA Today and New York Times best-selling author of romantic stories for both teens and adults. She studied English at the University of South Carolina, and now lives with her bossy cat and a mountain of books in her hometown.
