When seventeen-year-old Scarlet Monroe arrives to the sleepy seaport town of Rosalyn Bay, Ireland, the last thing she expects is to get tangled up in the dark and mysterious world of Jack Connelly.
Popular, wealthy, and devastatingly beautiful, Jack and his three brothers have effortlessly cast a spell on just about everyone at school. There's just one problem: their family's cursed. At least that's what all the local superstitions say.
But when Scarlet inadvertently banishes a demon while trying to save Jack's life, unleashing powers she didn't even know she possessed, she quickly realizes curses are the least of her worries.
Now with demons hunting her down and dormant magic awakening within her, Jack Connelly may very well be the only one equipped to help her.
Especially when she discovers the truth of who and what she really is . . . and how she might be all that stands between an ancient evil and the fate of everyone she loves.

She is drawn to the four Connelly brothers, especially the oldest, Jack.

When Scarlet somehow banishes a demon that was attacking Jack, she begins to discover that she may have some magical powers of her own. After her father is attacked, Scarlet and the Connelly boys must team up and try to save him. In this audio edition of the first book in the "Celtic Witches" series, listeners will learn about some folklore and traditions while uncovering truths about the characters. There is a fantasy aspect throughout, yet listeners will also feel the adventure that fills in the rest of the story. Velez has crafted characters that are multifaceted and easy to root for.
