The Witch of Nightmares
Magic doesn’t grow on trees—except for hedge witches with an affinity for plant magic.
Fairy tales are very real in fourteen-year-old Abigail MacQuillan’s world. Bad things happen to children who are lost in the enchanted forest—Fae snatch them up to eat them, witches tempt them into eating their gingerbread cottages to enslave them, and carnivorous plants lure them into their jaws. Abigail must protect and rescue her family while coming to terms with her magical gifts—without giving in to the temptations of dark magic.
A Cauldron Full of Curses
Abigail MacQuillan needs to become a powerful witch so that she can make her enemies pay for what they’ve done to those she loves. In order to learn to harness her powers, she apprentices with Baba Nata, the Witch of Nightmares. Even the Fae don’t want to cross this witch’s path. Yet there are some monsters even Baba fears. A mysterious Fae force is draining Witchkin children and lesser Fae alike.
If Abigail doesn’t defeat this new foe, she might be next.
A Pocket Full of Poison
Abigail will do anything to destroy her enemies, even if she loses her heart and soul in the process.
After three years, Abigail has finally gained the magical skills required to destroy the Fae enemies who capture children and eat them. In order to deceive them and find their weaknesses, Abigail must trick them into believing she is like them. As Abigail does so, she finds her new friendship might stop her from fulfilling the mission she’s worked so long to accomplish.
Yet if she follows through with this act of vengeance, it might destroy the good witch she’s become and set her on a path of destruction.
The Witch’s Familiar
Abigail MacQuillan Lawrence left the Unseen Realm and the magic of that world behind for a normal life among mortals. When her daughter is injured, she returns to the land she rejected to care for her daughter. While there, she seeks answers to remedy her black cat, Lucifer, and is faced with the consequences of the past she left behind.
When Lucifer disappears, Abigail must combine her talents of urban hedgewitching and kitchen alchemy as she puts her skills to the ultimate test to cook up a recipe to save her cat and put her conscience to rest for her past.
Enjoy all four books in one book bundle!

A fabulous book bundle…
The Trouble With Hedge Witches Series Bundle: Dark Fairy Tales of Magic and Mystery includes The Witch of Nightmares, A Cauldron Full of Curses, A Pocket Full of Poison, and The Witch’s Familiar.
This fabulous bundle contains the background story for the main characters in the Womby’s School for Wayward Witches series. The character development is quite interesting and the storylines are well written and somewhat dark with violence, cannibalism, necrophilia, death, revenge, repercussions, magic, and murder. These are fast-paced stories with excellent world-building, guaranteed to capture your interest.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
If you like the Baba Yaga folk tales or the author’s tales of Womby’s School for Wayward Witches you will enjoy this set. That the story eventually ties into part of the back story on Womby’s is all I will say so as not to ruin the surprise. The plot and characters are quirky and wonderful. There’s lots of twists and surprises, both for the reader and the characters in the story.
This three-book prequel series set in “the Unseen Realm” of Witchkin and Fae mostly fills in the backstory of Clarissa’s adopted mother Abby, her apprenticeship to Baba Nata, and time spent with Lucifer before he was a cat. I’m not giving “Lucy’s” secret away as readers learn this at the end of the Womby’s series arch. The fourth book in the box set is parallel action to Clarissa’s own story during her first major injury defending herself and female students from the male professor from the Green Court.
This is an interesting read on its own as Abby and Lucifer endure their own hardships, learn their own lessons, and make their own chioces to shape the adults they will become. I appreciate these additional stories as they strengthen the weave in the fabric that makes up the Unseen Realm and gives weight and history to many of the supporting characters and answers some questions readers may have about why some characters in the later books do and act the way they do. These storys also give clues as to some character’s affinitys, family relationships and a reason to re-read through the main Womby series with the benefit of hindsight.
This reader would like to see as many adventures based on characters from the Womby realm and the new (red?) court as Ms. Dorie is willing to weave.
** This is been a voluntary feedback of a newsletter EPUB review copy. Thank you.
This bundle includes the first 4 books of the series. This is a spinoff of the Womby’s School for Wayward Witches series which is actually a prequel as it tells about the main character’s, Clarissa’s, mother.
The first book starts with Abby at around 14 yoa and her family leaving their home and fleeing the Fae. The rest of the books give an accounting of what happens to her family and her seeking revenge.
This series is as good as the original Womby’s series. The characters are interesting and the situations are dire. While the stories are about Faeries and Faerie tales, they are dark and violent; not for children.
I received an ARC from the author and this is my voluntary review.
This is an interesting view into Clarissa’s mom’s history and past. I really enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed reading about Lucy as well. The characters are well developed and very likable. The world is easily visualized. Very compelling!
