Plot Summary of Dime Store Magic
"

Bantam, May 2004, 6.99, 414 pp.
ISBN: 0553587064

Paige Winterbourne has spent much of her twenty-threes years of life in trouble with the Elders who felt her defiant ways made her unfit to succeed her highly regarded mother as head of the American Coven of Witches. However, nine months ago, the Elders and Paige no longer had time when her mother was murdered. Paige “adopted” a young teen witch Savannah Levine who also saw her mom die. Conversely Savannah's dad, the powerful sorcerer Kristof Nash, wants his child who he ignored for years as he recognizes the evil potential.

Besides the common thread of mourning their losses, Paige knows that Kristof dabbles in malevolence and will use his offspring in the dispute against witches and others. Kristof will do anything to obtain control of this “weapon” including murder and framing Paige as the culprit. Her best hope to stop Kristof is attorney Lucas Cortez who is a sorcerer and everyone knows that sorcerers and witches are like oil and water so why does she think he is such a hunk?
