Alison Conner is your average Minneapolis-based twenty-something: she likes beer, indie bands, hanging out with her friend Linnea, and using her rather limited witch powers for party tricks. Cooling the air when there's a ghost around is not really a power they make movies about, but that's fine. She doesn't exactly revel in attention anyway. Also fine? Her best friend's brother. Which is a problem, because Linnea has made it clear she's not okay with that. But when Erik is around, Alison can't quite help herself. Coven of the North Star is a fluffy, supernatural-light novella series about witches with silly powers in Minnesota.
