Just months after defeating her murderous mentor, Brenda's life is finally coming together. She's working at Cauldron Hut. She's mastering time magic. She's got a cheap duplex in the hood with her best friends Phoebe and Nakia, who are also members of her coven. Then someone attacks their mentors, Judy and Ann, leaving them in magical comas. With no money, no backup, and a shop to run, Brenda and her girls do the only thing they can: take over the company and keep the business alive. That's when two things happen. First, they meet their new neighbors: Marcus, Devon, and Julian.

Charming guys who deal weed, share their porch, and seem genuinely interested in three young women trying to make it in Black Falls. Second, the Council warns them: witch hunters have been spotted in the area. Trained. Armed. Hunting. At first, Brenda's too distracted by Marcus's smile to worry much. But then Newport-her familiar-won't stop hissing. Destiny-her sassy animated mannequin head-keeps warning her something's wrong.

And the more time she spends with the guys, the more she notices the strange questions. The coordinated texts. Their eerily synced schedules. Someone in her life isn't who they claim to be. And the witch hunters? They're closer than anyone realizes. Now Brenda has to figure out who she can trust before it's too late-because in a neighborhood full of secrets, falling for the wrong person could be deadly. Good intentions won't be enough this time. She'll need to uncover the truth.

Before the trap closes. COVEN IN THE TRAP is the second book in the Brenda the Hood Witch series-urban fantasy about dangerous romance, hidden identities, and what happens when you can't tell the difference between falling in love and falling into a trap. Because sometimes the biggest threat is the one sleeping in the unit next door.
