Witches' Chillers

What few people may know about Wiccan author Silver RavenWolf is that she writes fiction.

The Witches' Chillers series is a mystery series aimed at teens that generally attempts to conduct Charmed-style goings-on in a more realistic realm. The series centres on three (originally five) teen witches who form a coven called Witches' Night Out. These witches are:
 * Bethany Salem, the head of the circle.
 * Tillie Alexander, the token black girl
 * Nam Chu, the Asian girl who colour-coordinates to the last thread.

Other characters include the mysterious maid and Author Avatar Ramona, who turns out to be a powerful Witch herself.

The three books in the series are:
 * Witches' Night Out: Bethany calls The Wild Hunt in order to find out who killed her boyfriend. The original Five-Man Band is whittled down in this book.
 * Witches' Night Of Fear: Bethany has to solve a murder before it happens.
 * Witches' Key To Terror: a farmer girl asks Witches' Night Out to solve some strange happenings in her town.

This book series contains examples of
 * Adults Are Useless (and in some cases, evil)
 * Author Avatar (Ramona)
 * The Baby Trap (Karen's supposed pregnancy. The group falls for it at first, but Ramona sees it for what it is.)
 * Dan Browned: RavenWolf is, according to a good many sources, the Jack Chick of Wiccans.
 * Five-Man Band (but Nick and Karen leave the group in the first book)
 * The Obi-Wan (Ramona)
 * Poirot Speak (Ramona, again)
