For as long as she can remember, high school senior Joephie Turner's mother has told her she is cursed by a witch. As she settles into her new hometown of Northport, Long Island at the height of the 1980s Satanic Panic era, Joephie is accepted into a circle of friends obsessed with the occult. Demonic messages on cassette tapes, shady youth group leaders, and passionate sexual encounters push the teen into a thrilling world that lends a deeper meaning to the proverbial mantra: "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Until it all goes wrong.

A decade later, haunted by nightmares of cults and rituals, formidable burgeoning witch Joephie pieces her memories together in search of answers about the small group of suburban teens that meddled with dark forces. As an adult, Joephie will have to decide what, or who, she is willing to sacrifice from her past in order to claw her way back to sanity.

Inspired by true events, Witch of the Black Circle is a deliciously wicked and nostalgic journey through time where the lines of reality and the supernatural blur.


Maria DeVivo draws upon the perfect blend of cosmic horror and psychological thriller elements to deliver a potent and intoxicating brew that hits all the right notes of your senses. Witch of the Black Circle is a gripping pageturner of a novel full of mystery, suspense, horror, and mind-numbing thrills that keep you constantly on the edge of your seat until the end. DeVivo is a master at creating tension and intrigue with a plot that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. You feel a palpable sense of doom while going through the narrative, and at times, it seems as if it seeps through the pages and captures your mind. Joephie isn't always the most reliable narrator, and since the story is told from her perspective, you always feel as if a bigger mystery is there to unfold. Overall, I was hooked from start to finish and can't recommend this book highly enough. - Pikasho Deka

This book is a fascinating story about how human fear rules their decisions and actions. The unknown has always frightened people and they tend to react with violence on these occasions.

The historical setting combined with raw human emotion instantly drew me into the story. A must read.
— Susan Black, Amazon Review
The shift in time from the first story initially made me curious, but as ties to the previous book began to show up, I couldn’t help but love it. I always love series that subtly link stories so that fans can identify them.

Trent travels through time to feed the Blodheksa and open the gates of Hell.

Follow Trent as he unveils the origin story of the mysterious and powerful world of witches across centuries. He’s been known as the witch Trond, or even as Galen, and finally Trent, the Witch of the Silver Locust. He will seek the Blodheska no matter where or when to nurture the powers they hold.

Traversing each moment, he must face opposing forces that have their own plans for their ideal apocalypse. He will face his enemies no matter if they are human or demon--or even the Church of Satan itself. As he defends his goal, Trent will ally with both new and old friends as he tries to open the gateway to the old ones and bring about the witch utopia of New Eden on earth.

Inspired by true events, this tale follows Trent as he endures an exorcism, the Church of Satan, and the Son of Sam while moving closer to fulfilling his destiny.


This is my favorite in the series so far and it’s a complete conundrum to me because while the main character is central to the story arc, it’s not a female. The reason this book works so well is because it ties elements of the story together using a chaotic time in the 60’s . The historical references work so well that it’s not hyperbole to say that DeVivo writes the same kind of love letter to the hedonistic 60’s that Tarantino did to Hollywood in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” It’s THAT good!
— Dennis J. Rooney, Book Critic
What I loved most is that it is a male witch and as such, diverges from the grain of witch tales. He is smoldering, creepy, intelligent, powerful, and yet somehow vulnerable all at once.

Helpless, 17-year-old witch Blodwyn watches as her mother, the Blodheska, dies in childbirth. Unwilling to inherit the mantle and incredible power of the Blodheska, Blodwyn is intent on resurrecting her. After all, only her mother could possibly bring back the Old Gods, as was written in the prophecy.

Blodwyn does not think she can carry such a heavy burden. Her grief is heavy enough. She finds herself at odds with her own coven, all of whom insist she follow the rules and caution against the arcane ritual.

Inspired by true events, Witch of the White Serpent is a study on loss, longing, and letting the dead rest in peace.


So creative and detailed, I could close my eyes and imagine being right there with Blodwyn and her “followers.” From page one to the end, I was in Blodwyn’s world.

...the heroine takes us on a journey through the trials and tribulations of birth, death, bravery, courage and above all, the ultimate sacrifice.

After receiving a tip from a mysterious stranger called Trent Blackwood, Alex drops everything to travel to a convent in Italy. It’s not the rumor that the nuns of the Golden Veil are performing exorcisms without the Vatican’s approval that intrigues her; it’s the man at the center of the ritual: Oskar Klepp, a serial killer Alex has reported on.

Inspired by true events, Witch of the Golden Veil follows Alex as she uncovers a massive conspiracy, one that could change her life forever.
