Pinehurst (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781475138375)

After attending years of public school and for reasons unknown, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Hollyander AKA Evie, finds herself suddenly "dumped" at Pinehurst, a stuffy private school for the Mageia-the children of magic. Gone are the days of Geometry and Keyboarding, Evie's schedule now consists of classes that teach defensive spells and charms against the deadly creatures of the Underworld. She discovers that her magical abilities are far more pronounced than that of her classmates, or even her teachers for that matter. She's forced into sixth period PE, boys only "boot-camp" for Slayers; and is taunted by some of the students for being the only female Slayer-ever But life isn't all that bad. She has a ten alarm crush on Antonio, a hunky nineteen year old Slayer who is assigned as her personal trainer. She's ecstatic until she realizes that Antonio can also communicate with her telepathically-translation: he can hear every steamy thought she has for him. After learning that her father has been captured and is being held hostage in Hell of all places, Evie seeks help from Antonio and Havoc, a feisty pixie who Evie's sure is evil incarnate. The three of them journey into the Underworld, battle two-headed vipers, a troll, and spiders that are big enough to suck your face off. She's propositioned by the Lord of the Underworld himself. Proving more powerful than expected, Evie is an acquisition he must have-as well as his ticket to the Outer World. The bargain: the safety of her friends and the knowledge to save her father's life in exchange for an unthinkable price.
