To the uninitiated, Savannah shows only her bright face and genteel way. Those who understand her well, though, can easily see beyond her colonial trappings and small-city elegance to a world where witchcraft is normally respected, Hoodoo is certainly feared, and spirits linger. Mercy Taylor is normally all too acquainted with the supernatural part of Savannah, being a person in the most powerful family of witches in the South. Despite being powerless herself, obviously. Having grown up without magic of her personal, in the darkness of her talented and charismatic twin sister, Mercy has always thought herself content. But when some mishaps – culminating in the loss of life of the Taylor matriarch – leaves a vacuum in the mystical underpinnings of Savannah, she finds herself thrust into a secret that could tremble her family apart . and unleash a darkness the line of Taylor witches has been keeping at bay for decades. In The Collection, the first reserve from the Witching Savannah series, J. D. Horn weaves magic, love, and betrayal into a fascinating Southern Gothic illusion with a contemporary flair.
