Witches of ash & ruin
(Book)

Told in multiple voices, seventeen-year-olds Dayna Walsh and Meiner King, witches from rival covens, team up in a small Irish town to seek a serial killer with motives enmeshed in a web of magic and gods.

Dayna Walsh struggles with somatic OCD, the aftermath of being outed as bisexual in her conservative Irish town. Her long-absent mother has returned, but all that matters to Dayna is ascending and finally becoming a full witch. Then another coven, rumored to have a sordid history with black magic, arrives in town with premonitions of death. Dayna is soon at odds with Meiner King, the granddaughter of their coven leader. Then a witch is murdered at a local sacred site-- marked by the blood symbol of the Butcher of Manchester, an infamous serial killer whose trail has long gone cold. If Dayna and Meiner don't stop the Butcher, one of them will be next. -- adapted from jacket.
