Magic Can Be Murder

Nola is a young witch (17) who, when she was younger, didn't understand that magic is to be kept secret, away from others; otherwise, a person can be accused of being an witch and end up dead. Her mother is also a witch and they have to keep moving from town to town to avoid anyone finding out about their abilities.

One day Nola has a friend over and performs a magic ritual in front of a friend and that causes her mother and her to leave for other parts immediately. As the years go on, her mother's begins to hear voices and act like a madwoman.

The situation gets worse when Nola is working on picking berries for someone and the guy tries to get her to have sex with him, causing her and her mother to run away yet again. They manage to get jobs as servants in a different village. That goes bad and they have to go away again.

They get even worse when someone is murdered at the place where she and her mother had been working previously, and Nola has left something that could implicate them. She returns, disguises herself as someone, and then promptly walks into more trouble than she expected.

The trouble seems to escalate for her, and she is trapped in her disguise. She needs to get away, but one thing after another seems to go wrong for her. Worse yet, the killings are not done at all, yet, and someone she had befriended turns out to be a totally different type of person than she suspected.

In addition to this, there's even romance. A very good story, delightfully told.
