READER’S GUIDE TO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF THE WEIRD GIRLS SERIES
Preview of Sealed with a Curse
To my children, my sunshine in the rain and my stars in the sky. Mommy loves you. And to my mother-in-law, Shirley, who always treated me like one of her own.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To have one person help me bring out my creativity and give it life is a tremendous blessing. To have an entire team available leaves me blessed beyond words.
First of all, many thanks to my editor, Elizabeth Bistrow, who not only jumped on the crazy train known as Cecy Robson, but boarded with a smile, and purchased a few extra tickets so Claire Zion and the staff of Penguin Random House could ride along. Thank you, everyone, for your participation in the book-birthing process. Another “weird” novel is born!
To the artists and model, I could have never imagined more beautiful covers. Thank you for your talents and collective vision for my world. You are amazing!
To my agent, Nicole Resciniti, who is more family than friend, and the person who fights fang and claw for me. Nic, thank you for always laughing at my jokes—even the bad ones—and for caring with all of your being. I would be lost without your honesty, intelligence, and heart.
To my husband, Jamie: Babe, where would I be without your loving arms, your devilish grin, and your horrifically bad recaps of classic songs? Thank you for lifting me with your words of support and for laughing at me when I really need to be laughed at. I’ll love you forever.
To Pat Cicci, a beautiful woman who gave life to one of my dearest friends, Marifran. I’ll remember her gentle words and kind heart always. She laughed at my silly antics and sarcastic humor, mostly because she enjoyed the happiness that laughter brought her, and because she enjoyed life. Heaven has a new angel, one that will watch over her husband, Frank, her children and her grandchildren, and offer them hope and love in times when they need it most. May God bless her.
To my Weird Girls fans, thank you for your loyalty and for spreading the word about my series. I’ll tell you this much: The best is yet to come!
CHAPTER 1
Master Vampire’s Estate
Tahoe City, California
“Are you ready, Celia?”
Misha’s voice was nothing more than a seductive whisper. It made me breathless. “Yes.”
His gray eyes wandered down my body. “Are you sure you can handle it?”
“Yes.”
“
All
of it?”
