Kelley Armstrong - Author of the Women of the Otherworld Series
Kelley Armstrong Writes the Urban Fantasy Women of the Otherworld Series
Best known for her Women of the Otherworld series, Kelley Armstrong writes Urban Fantasy for adults and young adults. As with most urban fantasy, the worlds of her books are filled with the supernatural existing alongside the humans, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Here, the supernaturals are not out in the open - but seek to keep control of those in their community to protect their world. There are werewolves, vampires, witches, half-demons and necromancers in the world of the supernaturals, and when humans discover their existence, they don't always coexist peacefully with them.
These are the stories of a few supernaturals (plus one human assassin.)

Witches: Paige Winterbourne and Savannah Levine
Witches and sorcerers are natural enemies and do not share magic. But Paige is a young witch who breaks tradition, leaving her coven to take in a young orphaned witch with a sorcerer for a father and a dark witch for a mother, while teaming up with the one sorcerer who can help her to protect her new ward.
