Even a bad witch deserves a second chance.
Catherine Baker stopped caring about magician politics after the witches threw her out four years ago, convicted of the “crime” of using harmful magic in self-defense. Life as an outcast was nothing new, thanks to her father’s wicked reputation, but the injustice left her heart scarred. Especially since she’d been turned in by the man she loved.
Alexander Duquesne has never faltered in his duties as a guardian—until now. He still suffers lingering guilt over his role in Cat’s exile, and when the old Titania is murdered, Cat is in line to be the next victim. Lex will do anything to keep Cat alive, even if she hates him for it.
Hunted by a powerful stranger intent on drawing her into an evil web, Cat reluctantly accepts Lex’s protection and the resurrected desire that comes along with it. Lex faces the fight of his life to keep her safe…and win her back. If they both survive.
What reviewers are saying about Blood, Smoke and Mirrors:
“For a debut book, this story has an incredibly strong and funny main character ... and a strange and interesting world of characters. ... If I had to grab one word to describe this book, it would be refreshing. Not like a diet Coke or something that’s saccharine and only satisfying in the short term, but refreshing like thinking to yourself, ‘Oh, that’s new, that’s different’ while reading a plot that could have turned on a dime into well-trod cliché-land. Bachar keeps the story firmly in the present with a quick and witty narrator, and I kept reading.” –Sarah Wendell, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
“Blood, Smoke and Mirrors was a compelling read. Catherine ‘Cat’ Baker was an authentic and endearing heroine – big butt and all. ...overall, I was impressed and glad that I had the opportunity to discover Robyn Bachar. I’ll be looking forward to what she does next. But first I have to get something to eat. I have this insatiable craving for chocolate chip pancakes…” –Paul Goat Allen, Explorations: The Barnes & Noble SciFi and Fantasy Blog

Praise for Fire in the Blood:
"FIRE IN THE BLOOD is a sizzling, suspenseful paranormal romance. Robyn Bachar has given us three wonderful new creations with Patience, Faust, and Harvey along with all the supporting cast of characters -- I've fallen a little bit in love with Faust, he's so willing to give everything for Patience that you can over-look the fact that he's a Shadowspawn faerie and a member of an outcast clan. FIRE IN THE BLOOD is impossible to resist, and is an absolute must read." --Fresh Fiction
"Though it was my first in the Bad Witch Books, I was able to fall into Fire in the Blood easily. I enjoyed the interaction between Faust and Patience. Bachar did a great job of keeping a strong leading lady while still allowing her to have a vulnerable side. If you are looking for a new story to spark your interest, Fire in the Blood will do just that. Faeries, vampires, and demons, and some steamy scenes Fire in the Blood has a little bit of everything. A great read to keep you warm on a cold night." --Sizzling Hot Book Reviews, 4 Heart review
