A series of five young adult novels by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié, depicting a [[Feuding Families|family feud]] between a coven of witches called the Cahors and a coven of warlocks called the Deveraux.
 
Holly Cathers moves in with her aunt, uncle and cousins after her parents die in a rafting accident. She soon encounters the Deveraux men: Jer, Eli and Michael. Michael and Eli develop a plan to eliminate Holly and her cousins, Nicole and Amanda, while Jer is intent on saving the trio.

== A-H ==
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Michael Deveraux takes this [[Up to Eleven|way too far]], even going so far as plotting to kill his own son.
* [[Action Girl]]: Almost every female character displays this trope, but especially Holly.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Not one of the more extreme examples, but the warlocks range from Michael to Jeraud and the witches have everything from Isabeau to Amanda.
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: There is not a single warlock that is not at least a little evil.
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: Inverted. Holly wants to save Jer from the island of Avalon, even though it would put the rest of her coven in danger.
* [[Ancient Tradition]]: The blind justices.
Line 63 ⟶ 73:
* [[False Start]]: Jer and Holly in Witch & Curse.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: The Black Fire times a million. Also, in Resurrection, Jean pours a powder on Catherine de Cahors that sends her to Hell.
* [[Feuding Families]]: The Cahors and the Deveraux.
* [[Field Power Effect]]: Inverted. Water is especially dangerous for Cahors and all who are beloved of a Cahors.
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Averted, in the case of Jer and Holly. Before he met Holly, Jer met Amanda, who had the hots for him; Nicole, who was possessed by Isabeau's spirit; and Kari, whom he dated. Before Holly met Jer, she met Tommy Nagai, though he clearly had something going on with Amanda.
