About the Author
Claudia Gray is the pseudonym of New Orleans-based writer Amy Vincent, the author of the New York Times bestselling Evernight series. She has worked as a lawyer, a journalist, a disc jockey, and an extremely poor waitress. Her grandparents' copy of Mysteries of the Unexplained is probably the genesis of her fascination with most things mysterious and/or inexplicable.
Reviews
"SPELLCASTER is a whip-smart read, sinister and delightful at once." -- Kiersten White, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PARANORMALCY "Three wounded but valiant protagonists confront a monstrous evil with human roots in this promising series opener. This riveting tale will keep readers up late and clamoring for the next installment." -- Kirkus Reviews "The author's intricate portrayal of witchcraft-including its theories, rules, spells, and history-raises this novel a notch above others in the genre, and Nadia is an appealing heroine as she juggles personal pain and looming supernatural disaster." -- Publishers Weekly "...this is a compelling plot that mines the lore and history surrounding witchcraft to pit good against evil in a literally earth-shaking battle." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
