Title: The Witches of Vegas
Author: Mark Rosendorf
Genre: Young Adult
Book Blurb:
Where can Witches and their vampire mentor practice their powers without being discovered or persecuted? By using their magic, the Witches of Vegas become the number one act performing on the Las Vegas Strip—a great achievement for them, but not so much for the magicians—who can't possibly keep pace. Isis Rivera is the adopted fifteen-year old daughter of The Witches of Vegas. Zack Galloway is the teenage nephew and assistant to the last magician left in the city. Although they should be rivals, when Valeria, a four-hundred-year-old witch with a long-seeded grudge against humanity arrives in Sin-City, both teens act to bring their families together to stop the evil hag in her tracks. But can the combined witches' powers and the ingenuity of the magicians be enough to stop Valeria from taking over the city and possibly the world?
Excerpt:
Sebastian’s voice boomed through the theater. “Ladies and gentlemen, for
the last five and a half years, you have had the opportunity to experience The
Witches of Vegas four nights and three afternoons a week right here at the
Sapphire Resort and Casino’s main theater. But today, you will be the very
first audience to witness something truly spectacular!”
Isis’ shoulders tensed. A knot formed in the pit of her stomach. She had
levitated many times, but never in front of more than four people. This time,
it would be in front of over four thousand strangers. Wow, goosebumps
popped out all over her arms and legs. She took deep breaths, just as they
taught her, in through the nose and out through the mouth. It always helped
calm her nerves. Right now, they really needed calming.
“We are about to bring out a new, young witch to the stage,” Sebastian
explained. “She will have you believing that a young girl can become lighter
than air!”
“Lighter than air.” Isis closed her eyes and chanted under her breath.
“Lighter than air.” Her hands and feet tingled with each step toward the stage.
The magic flowed through her veins like a steady leak from a faucet.
“Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the future goddess of
magic, Isis!”
