She's looking for a hint of magic in her world...
Dora Carridine is fed up with her life as a preacher's daughter and sets out to explore the darker side of life instead. If she can find some magic in the world, then maybe she will find a place she belongs.

When she comes across a coven of witches, she takes on their trials to try and join them. But the witches aren't all they appear to be, and Dora finds herself slipping into a darker world than she imagined.

She has to make a choice to do the right thing, but Dora's never been very good at doing anything right...

"Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!"_{- Derek Landy, bestselling author of Skulduggery Pleasant.}DISCOVER THE DEMON DIARIES, _{which has spellbound 2.5 million readers.}

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"The descriptions in this devilishly witty gothic series are rich with meaning, and the parody of supernatural characters are brilliantly human." ★★★★★

"Darkly funny and wickedly silly from the paranormal underworld and back! If you're tired of depressed heroines, then enjoy this feisty female protagonist as she travels on the road to Hell with nothing but her spells, soul chips and wits to keep her alive."★★★★★

"I love how Claire Chilton keeps your pulse racing until the end of the book. The addictive writing plus amusing characters and supernatural comedy in these books create an exciting read." ★★★★★

"An entertaining, humorous and fun paranormal story that kept me up past midnight because I couldn't put it down." ★★★★★

"When the teen demon lord you're dating takes you home to meet his family, and then you're forced to attend school in Hell, you know the romance is going to get a bit weird. This was a satirical young adult romp that will make you laugh out loud. The first story is a bit short, but it's also free. There is some cussing. So it's a great read for older teenage boys and girls, but not for kids." ★★★★★

"If you are looking for an action-packed and funny gothic fiction series with a strong female lead to completely immerse yourself in, then this enthralling urban fantasy might be the book for you." ★★★★★

"I love Dora! Her snarky sarcasm manages to amuse me whether she's being tortured in the academy for demons in Hell or just arguing with the Fallen One in Heaven. Great world building, and the most sarcastic characters." ★★★★★

"Claire Chilton not only conjures a YA fantasy world brimming with magical creatures like vampires, werewolves, zombies, angels, demons, succubus, dragons, fae, ghosts, gods, shapeshifters and a whole range of monsters, she also creates a few of her own. Were-squirrels, anyone?" ★★★★★

"If you're looking for a cynical teen horror comedy that is the goth lovechild of Deadpool and Buffy, then look no further. The novels in this series are fast-paced, dogma-driven, satires that focus on an outcast teenage girl and her gang of misfits, who use witty banter, dark omens and a spell book to go on wild adventures to Hell and back. With light humor, a few cliff-hangers and a lot of lols along the way, this Sabrina-like witch explores the horror of death and darkness in even the most heavenly places." ★★★★★BOOKS IN THIS SERIES
