Wilted
(This story takes place ten years before the events of The
Witching Pen.)Fifteen-year-old Elena hides her magical abilities from everyone, except her best friend, Karl. Inseparable since they were very young, they've always shared everything together, including the darkest parts of their lives.
Elena's beginning to realise that her feelings for Karl are growing into something more. But her mother's about to drop a bombshell on her – one that will change the course of her life, and heart, forever.
PUBLISHERS NOTES:
This UK-based story is suitable for YA readers, but it should be noted that The Witching Pen series series is aimed at adult readers.
For fans of the series, this story includes two parts of Elena's past that were made reference to in The Witching Pen: 1) The moment that Karl turns up on Elena's doorstep having been beaten and 'jumped on' by his father and 2) "The Sex Talk" between Elena and her mother.
The Witching Pen
It's hard being the most powerful witch on the planet. It's
even harder when you're a twenty-five year old virgin who'll lose all of that
power the moment you sleep with someone ... that's why Elena's never slept with
her best friend and flatmate, Karl, despite the true feelings they harbour for
each other.
Elena's about to discover that there are even more difficult things in life to deal with. One of them comes in the form of a pen she discovers one day, a pen that allows anything she writes to come to pass...
Suddenly, it's not just her powers or her heart that's at stake, but her very soul, as a dream demon with a seductive pull uses the pen to try and turn her away from her reality, and from Karl.
But the pen is just the beginning. Everything Elena has believed in is a lie, and her world is about to fall apart...

The Sands of Time
Seven days ago, Elizabeth May tried to commit suicide. She
was found by Paul, her husband, who took her under his wing and back to their
home. But the attempted suicide is not Elizabeth's main problem - Elizabeth
can't remember who she is, or a single thing about her life beyond the past
week.
Plagued by nightmares about a familiar black panther, and a terrifying snow leopard, she is convinced that the dreams are trying to show her something important, and is determined to regain her memories, one way or another.
Meanwhile, Pueblo - the demon blood-bonded to the witch, Amy - is going insane trying to find her. Amy disappeared one week ago, and it seems not even their bond is strong enough to penetrate whatever magic hides her.
As Pueblo enlists the help of angels and demons alike, Elizabeth begins to piece together parts of her forgotten life. But what she uncovers may just have her wanting to turn away from who she really is ... for good.

Two thousand and eleven years after the birth of the Failed
One, the Witching Pen will be made manifest on Earth by the Great Shanka Witch
of the Old Scrolls. By her hand, the Earth will rumble and shatter, and all
dimensions will bleed into one.
The true purpose of the Witching Pen has been revealed, and it must be destroyed before an apocalyptic prophecy comes true. There's just one problem -- the Pen is indestructible.
As everyone searches for much needed answers, Elena lays down plans for a radical mission to save her mother from the Shanka's shadow world.
Meanwhile, Mary has finally discovered who she really is, and what that means for the human race.
What Mary doesn't know, is that Gwain has been searching for her for over ten thousand years, and had lost all hope of finding her. Now that he has her, he's faced with an impossible choice: does he save the woman who altered his very existence, or does he sacrifice her to save mankind?

The Last Dragon
The Earth is in a state of shock after the apocalypse. The
veil between dimensions is no more. Demons and fallen angels walk among humans,
and everyone is trying to find their place in the new world - Morgan le Fey's
world.But the fairy queen finds herself cemented within humanity and struggling with human emotions, and her right-hand-man, Lucifer, has secrets which are causing fissions among every race.
Meanwhile, Karl and Elena struggle with their powers, Katarra delivers an important message, and two men will stop at nothing to protect their unborn child - the Messiah of the New Age - and the woman they love.
Far to the east, the fallen Archangel Michael is fighting for the one he holds above all others.
The Last Dragon is about to rise and seal everyone's future, which depends solely on its survival ... or its extinction.
Review
OMG! This is a fantastic series! So great in fact, I bought it twice.
I have the set individually on my Kobo app and when Dianna changed the covers (to the above - aren't they just great?!) and bundled it for .99c/77p/$1.13, I couldn't help myself, I bought it again for my Kindle app.
As the synopses above tell you, Wilted was written for YA while the rest isn't - it's very much adult and rather steamy. The Last Dragon isn't classified the same (it's fantasy - there's not really any steam unless you count the apocalypse) and in some places it won't be classed as book 4.
But it is. Most definitely Book 4. The series needs this fourth book, no matter the fantasy tag, to wrap the series up and tell you what the hell is going on. You may also need a box of tissues by your side for books 3 & 4 - I certainly did.
I'd be thrilled if any of the secondary characters had their stories told at any stage. It'd be nice to get inside the heads of the fallen angels.
A must-add to your TBR.
