The Initiation

Elena’s no-nonsense best friend, Bonnie Bennett just wants to explore her powers – to learn more about being a nice, reasonable witch and making her grandmother proud. Bonnie’s intentions are noble, but her quest soon becomes more difficult and dangerous than she could have imagined when the angry ghosts of her family’s past come flooding back to haunt her. Bonnie, you see, comes from a long line of witches, not all of whom were as well intentioned as she. And it turns out the Bennett witches have made quite a history out of burning and betraying lovers and friends who dared enter their lives. Can Bonnie summon all that is good within and learn to handle the passionate, consuming fire inside? Or will her dark instincts rise boiling to the surface, scorching everyone who reaches out to love her?

The Initiation is another compelling rite of passage inspired by the bestselling, award-winning Vampire Diaries’ series.
