Midnight Test

Hazel has always known she is one of the weakest witches of her generation. There was a time when that bothered her, but not any more. She has decided to live as an ordinary human, apart from the occasional bout of ghost hunting, which she can hardly avoid when the spirits refuse to leave her alone. Just as she settles into a new routine, a message arrives that upends it. The Lightgrove Coven, one of the most powerful witch covens in the world, is offering her a rare chance to join them. The condition is that she pass a dangerous test on Friday the Thirteenth. Hazel's first instinct is to ignore the offer, but she knows she cannot turn down an opportunity like this. Things go surprisingly well until a human gets in her way. Sean is mysterious, attractive and strangely compelling, and Hazel cannot manage to ignore him however hard she tries. When his fate becomes tied to her task, both her test and their lives are put at risk. The Midnight Test is the first book in the Rite Lightgrove Witches series, which blends magic, romance, mystery and excitement. The series continues with The Midnight Spell (book 2), The Midnight Flame (book 3) and The Midnight Secret (book 4). The story first appeared in 2014 in the Midnight Kiss anthology. In 2015 it was released for free under the title Tested. This 2023 edition has been re-edited and is 50% longer.
