In a witty urban fantasy for fans of The Devil Wears Prada, a hapless barista becomes embroiled in a world of business, backstabbing, and . . . the occult?
As a twenty-three-year-old college dropout, Clark Crane has nothing to show for himself but three dead-end jobs. So when he becomes the unlikely intern for enigmatic celebrity Charisma Saintly and her “coven” of personal assistants, he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed. Only, he has no idea who—or what—Charisma really is . . .
Clark runs headfirst into this new world of midnight rituals, deadly rivalries, and notes passed furtively between Charisma and her VIP clientele. Soon, a mysterious maid warns him to “get out now,” while he still can, but romance is budding with someone he met on the job. Clark isn’t sure what to do or who to believe. After all, he’s told a million girls would kill to be in his position.
But when he witnesses Charisma firing one of her assistants by murder and magic, Clark knows one thing’s certain: his boss can be a real witch! It seems no one just quits her glamorous web. Will Clark unravel the coven’s secrets and survive to tell the tale, or will he become the next victim in a cutthroat game of witchcraft and ambition?
The first book in A. T. Napoli’s B*tchcraft series, The Witch’s Assistant is a story about finding one’s self in a world where magic is all around—and finding love in unexpected places.
