NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A dark contemporary fantasy set against the richly wrought backdrop of New Orleans, featuring witchcraft, tarot, death, and a bit of romance

"A charming and compulsively readable debut.”—Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me

On an ordinary Monday morning, eighteen-year-old Mikaela Broussard receives the shock of her life. During a customer’s tarot reading at her family’s occult shop, she turns over the Death card and envisions the beautiful stranger stabbing her in the heart.

In order to determine why the girl, Joelle, wants to kill her, she’ll have to keep her close. But the more time Mikaela spends with her soon-to-be murderer, the more irresistible she finds her.

As if imminent death isn’t worrisome enough, witches are turning up with their magic stolen. And it’s clear some very dark magic is at work. Mikaela, as the next Witch Queen of her coven, is tasked with figuring out who’s behind the horrific acts—a mystery that will put her and her power to the test.

Death Card is a dark, pacy, and romantic fantasy about one witch’s journey to find the strength to fight for herself, her future, and her beloved community.

Critic Reviews

“Death Card is a charming and compulsively readable debut, where the characters feel just as real as the magic of New Orleans. Current, steeped in rich folklore, full of witchcraft and sapphic tension, it’s exactly what my younger self needed. I devoured it.”—Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me

“Smith tackles current issues—gentrification, family grudges, and first love—with depth, grace, and a healthy bit of magic. Teens will love the witchy mystery in this fun debut.”—Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning

“The dual tensions of deadly unknown threats and looming betrayal drive a brisk, suspenseful narrative that plays with chosen one conventions. Mikaela and Joelle’s romance unfolds against a richly wrought backdrop, their shared affection for NOLA lending warmth to an otherwise ominous tale. The result is an intriguing story about inheritance and self-determination.”—Publishers Weekly

“Mikaela and Joelle have good chemistry, with a truly high-stakes enemies-to-lovers plotline. The story is fast-paced with many twists and magical escapades, from hidden bookshops to dreamwalking. A great readalike for fans of Kalynn Bayron and Aiden Thomas.”—School Library Journal

“Smith’s debut is a well-paced and engaging story about a girl growing past her grief and into her own power. Still, fans of queer-friendly witchy stories with light romantic drama and those looking for quick paranormal reads will likely enjoy this. A largely satisfying addition to the genre.”—Kirkus Reviews
