The Witch and the Vampire

“Expansive and easy to imagine.. Flores presents a new twist on the classic fairy tale Rapunzel, braiding together a sapphic love story, vampires, and vampire-hating witches.” - Booklist

“This is perfect for fans of vampire novels.. Readers of paranormal romance or fairy-tale retellings will likely enjoy this quick read.” - School Library Journal

“This incredible book is full of everything you’ll ever need–a lush, interesting world, action, incredible character work, and, of course, witches and vampires galore. I had a fantastic time and I couldn’t put it down.” - Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning“An enchanting world with fast-paced action, plenty of twists, and a sweet romance at the center. For anyone who wished Tangled had been a little more dark and a lot more gay.” - Sonia Hartl, author of The Lost Girls

“The Witch and the Vampire casts a pulse-pounding spell on readers from the start and never relents. Its magic lies in the complex exploration of self, how family and ideological differences play a role in defining it, and the healing nature of sweet, patient love. I kept rooting for Ava and Kaye to not only mend their broken friendship, but also realize they were exactly what the other had been waiting for. I’m on Team KAVA for life.” - Amparo Ortiz, author of Blazewrath Games

“Flores conjures a bewitchingly atmospheric world of deadly magic, ancient rivalries, and cursed forests underpinned by a sumptuous, slow-burn romance that puts a fresh spin on the canon of witches and vampires.” - Amelie Wen Zhao, author of the Blood Heir trilogy

“Ava and Kaye’s gentle romance, which believably unfolds amid their mutual distrust, invests readers in their plight” - Publishers Weekly
