Indigo Springs

Astrid grows up in the sleepy little town of Indigo Springs. Her life hasn't been easy: Her father wasted what money the family had and even had to go to prison for fraud. She quit school then to save his business as a gardener. She was in love with her friend Sahara, but the girl left her and town to go with her boyfriend Mark. The only person who loves her is her stepbrother Jacks, but Astrid has never been able to forget Sahara so nothing has come of his attraction to her so far. But then things take a turn for the better: When Astrid's father dies, she inherits a house nobody knew about and Jacks and Sahara, who just left her faithless boyfriend, move in with her. To top it all off, the three discover that a strange blue liquid seeps through the chimney wall and that they can enchant objects with it. A watch that gives the wearer perfect timing, a lipstick that makes you attractive - harmless little pleasures! But then they find out that the magic liquid can have severe side effects on the user and that an ancient organisation is killing any 'witch' they can find. Quicker than anyone could have expected, the three are in deep trouble... This is a very atmospheric and well-written novel that I would definitely recommend. A sequel is planned #the title will be 'Blue Magic'# and I'm looking forward to it.
