title: Deep Magic
author: Pope, Christine
description: His magic is older than time. But can it save her life? Hayley McAllister thought she was safe, tucked away in tiny, unassuming Payson, Arizona. Her parents disagree and send her to stay in Jerome, where they hope their witch clan’s elders will be able to shield Hayley and her unusual gift from Joaquin Escobar, the dark user of magic who has taken over the Santiago clan in California. As Hayley settles into her brother Brandon’s apartment in Jerome, she encounters temptation personified — the hunk next door. An insanely handsome Greek god of a warlock. From the moment Levi meets Hayley, her serene blue eyes and quick smile weave a spell that has nothing to do with her magical talent — an ability to amplify any witch or warlock’s power with just a touch. Their attraction needs no amplification, but Levi’s high-octane, not-of-this-world powers are tested when Escobar’s demons attack. The McAllister clan is strong, but it’s clear that even with Hayley’s signal boost, their wards may not keep Joaquin Escobar from opening a demonic portal to pluck her from their very midst. Unless Levi takes one last-ditch chance that would save Hayley’s life...but might cost his own.
