The Wicked Will Rise
Quotes from the Book
Spells are just prayers with more steps and a name that scares people.
A scoop of dried rosemary goes into the bag, followed by salt. Sometimes, magic looks a lot like how my mom prepares chicken.
It's hard not to look sneaky when you're sneaking.
You wouldn't understand. It's a dead girl thing.
The best lie is always the truth.
Most of witchcraft is just being present.
I don't forgive. I'm a Taurus.
There’s no one thing that makes Caleb creepy. It’s not that he licks his lips until the skin shreds or that he talks incessantly about being “one of the nice guys” or even his habitual sweatpants boners. Rather, it is all of these things as a whole that lends to his overall air of Total Fucking Creep. An aura of Men’s Rights Activist. Eau de Internet Troll. Musk of Mansplainer.
Oh great. Another clique I’m not cool enough to join. Possibly literally.
We can't all subsist on buttered noodles and self-righteousness.
No one likes a helicopter witch.
It's normal for witches your age to attempt big, messy magic and have it go wrong. That's why it's best to practise in a group.
Caleb loves to slip mentions of my weight into conversation to see if I’ll snap. If I do, he’ll throw his hands up and say he’s just kidding loud enough for everyone around us to hear, so that it sounds like I have no sense of humor and he’s hilarious.

About the book
Mila Flores and her best friend Riley have always been inseparable. There's not much excitement in their small town of Cross Creek, so Mila and Riley make their own fun, devoting most of their time to Riley's favorite activity: amateur witchcraft.
So when Riley and two Fairmont Academy mean girls die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.
Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders, but they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...bef
