Bewitching Hour, The (a Tara Prequel) by Ashley Poston is a captivating addition for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and offers the beloved LGBTQIA+ icon, Tara Maclay, the limelight she deserves. This young adult prequel is rich with '90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and a star-crossed romance, all skillfully penned by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Ashley Poston.

Tara Maclay isn't thrilled to be starting her senior year of high school in a new town. She hopes that by keeping her head down, she can skate through the year in Hellborne, Vermont without the town living up to its ominous name.

However, her plans unravel quickly. As dead students begin to turn up, Tara finds herself pegged as Most Likely To Have Murdered Them by the rest of the senior class. To complicate matters further, the new girl Tara has a crush on is a witch-hunter.

It might not be all bad, though, given that Tara's magic is wildly malfunctioning.

As the body count rises, Tara must conquer her fears, reconnect with her magic, and take a more central role in saving the townβ€”even if it risks her budding relationship.
