In her debut novel, Mel Hopkins weaves an epic supernatural tale of forbidden love, conspiracy and sacrifice. What should be a normal school year for 1st year college student Nicole Jettison turns out to be anything but at this east coast Catholic university. Cheerleading tryouts, sorority rushes, basketball games and a lot of school work should be par for the course but Jettison has opted for the extra-curricular activities of unmasking shape-shifting drug dealers, sorcery and a night course in fallen-angels… in the end Jettison doesn’t just get a passing grade but a gift from otherworldly beings looking to change their fate and maybe the fate of the world too.

In her debut novel, Mel Hopkins weaves an epic supernatural tale of forbidden love, conspiracy and sacrifice. Brooklyn native Nicole Jettison says freshman year at St. Vincent University in Queens, NY started out like a typical school year at the Big East division school. Cheerleader tryouts, sorority rushes, basketball games, and a lot of school work which was par for the course for any co-ed. What Jettison didn't count on was extra-curricular activity that included unmasking a shape-shifting drug-dealer, sorcery, and a crash course in fallen angels. "To make matters worse," says Jettison, "I did it all while battling a Lenni Lenape Indian princess and West African Obeah high priestess for the captain of the basketball team." In the end, Jettison wins his heart and something else she didn't bargain for; a gift from otherworldly beings that are hell-bent on changing their fate and maybe the world too.
