Daughter Witch (Romanov Witches)

Liliya, Dima’s third daughter, may be a hippy and a Natural Witch who dabbles in plants, but Liliya is trouble. She has an unhealthy obsession with the weather, forcing the Romanovs to flee once again. The women finally move into a home that reflects their royal Russian blood, a rundown mansion in Santa Fe at the bottom of Witch Hill. There is a portrait hanging in the house at Witch Hill. Thirteen-year-old Astra Romanov looks out of the picture with haunted eyes, but her grandmother dominates the picture. Dima is 180 years old but appears to be a teenager, proudly holding out in her hand an ordinary-looking volcanic rock, a rare shape-shifting stone, allowing her to bathe like in the fountain of youth, to be immortal while others around her age, including her three daughters.Astra is half-Native American. Her aunts, Medea and Nikki, tutor her as a third-generation witch. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but humanity will never break me," so claims the young witch, Astra, but she was born with a soft, human heart that even being an outcast won't harden. Astra has wolves as her only friends, until her family makes her befriend Amelia, a Catholic girl they have their eye on. In New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, the Romanovs will discover that they are not the only magical beings. And then there is the danger of a fanatical branch of the Catholic Church.(Please note: The books in the series, A Dysfunctional Family of Witches, are standalone and can be read in any order. Each book comes to a conclusion, but the story of the Romanov witches continues through time.)
