A note for parents

Dime Store Magic is an urban fantasy novel with mature themes appropriate for older teens. The story involves murder, supernatural danger, and moral complexity as Paige navigates protecting a young girl from dark forces. While the violence is present, it's not graphic, and the book emphasizes responsibility, mentorship, and doing the right thing under pressure. This is the second book in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series and works best for readers comfortable with YA/NA paranormal fiction.

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BITTEN—NOW A SYFY SERIES From one of today’s most original writers comes the mesmerizing tale of an exceptional young woman caught up in an otherworldly realm where some will stop at nothing to get what they want. Paige Winterbourne was always either too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world’s most powerful elite organizations—the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige’s wildest antics can’t hold a candle to those of her new charge—an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil...and evil is all too willing to claim her. For this girl is being pursued by a dark faction of the supernatural underworld. They are a vicious group who will do anything to woo the young, malleable, and extremely powerful neophyte, including commit murder—and frame Paige for the crime. It’s an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive.
