Warrantless searches.Illegal surveillance.Prisoners locked in indefinite detention.It's all in the name of national security, or so we're told. While the government expands its power behind a veil of secrecy, a complicit media remains silent.

As the world continues to spiral, it's business as usual in North Valley-a sleepy suburb known for little more than golf courses and overpriced real estate . . . until a series of murders casts a shadow over the town.When Calista Scott investigates the death of her classmate, she uncovers a secret the government has been protecting all along: magick is real.

It's the most dangerous weapon in existence.

And the grimoire her classmate left behind is the equivalent of a loose nuke.

REVIEWS

"I love this book. Blake Northcott has seamlessly shifted genres and proven she's as masterful in magic and fantasy as she was in science-fiction. Don't pick this up unless you're prepared to not put it down."

- Mark Millar (Writer of Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Marvel's Civil War, Old Man Logan)

"There is world-building going on all throughout fiction these days -- and then there is Blake Northcott taking it to another level. Telling the story of a magical conspiracy through the lens of teen adventure, The North Valley Grimoire is what would happen if James Patterson and J.K. Rowling had a baby and it grew up to be a best-seller."

- Scott Lobdell (Hollywood screenwriter of blockbuster Happy Death Day, Marvel Comics writer of Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor)

"From the first paragraph, The North Valley Grimoire grabs the reader. And once it takes hold, it refuses to let go. Successfully fusing a spy thriller and supernatural adventure is not easy, not without losing key elements that make both genres so entertaining, but Blake Northcott delivers in full, face-melting force, all while building an immersive world that you will not want to leave. She has a real winner on her hands!"

- Cullen Bunn (NYT bestselling author of The 6th Gun, X-Men Blue, and Deadpool)

"A razor sharp page-turner that seamlessly blends two worlds--a late 90s teen horror film, and a cat-and-mouse spy thriller where magic is a weapon. It's electric, and I've never read anything like it."

- Rees Jones (co-author of Royals, with the world's #1 selling author, James Patterson)

"Horror has a compelling, new protagonist in Calista Scott, and a powerful, new voice in author Blake Northcott. Read this book...but do it with the lights on."

- Bryan Edward Hill (Writer at DC's Detective Comics, Hollywood scriptwriter of Ash vs. The Evil Dead) and Titans on the DC Universe steaming channel.
