About The Witches of Cleopatra Hill series
Series Premise
In a hidden world of witches and warlocks living secretly among humans, the powerful Wilcox and McAllister clans have been bitter enemies for over a century due to an ancient curse and feud. The curse predicts that a child born of both bloodlines will either unite the clans or destroy them entirely. When Angela McAllister (a McAllister witch) and Connor Wilcox (the Wilcox clan leader) are destined to fulfill this prophecy, they are drawn together despite the hatred between their families. The series follows their forbidden romance, the unraveling of the curse’s true meaning, clan politics, magical power struggles, and the threat of war between the clans — all while Angela discovers her own unique powers and Connor grapples with leadership and his growing feelings.
Main Characters
> Angela McAllister — Protagonist (Books 1–3); powerful McAllister witch with unique abilities. Brave, stubborn, and compassionate; resists her prophesied role but grows into a leader.
> Connor Wilcox — Co-lead; young, handsome Wilcox clan leader. Charismatic, conflicted, and burdened by responsibility; initially sees Angela as an enemy but falls deeply in love.
> Connor’s family — Aunt Allegra, cousin Mason, and others; represent the darker Wilcox side.
> Angela’s family — Aunt Rachel, cousin Adam (potential love interest early on), and other McAllisters who are protective but traditional.
> The clans — The McAllisters (healers, more traditional) and Wilcoxes (stronger in offensive magic, more ruthless) — serve as extended family and sources of conflict.
Setting
Modern-day Arizona (primarily the fictional mountain town of Jerome and surrounding areas), with a hidden magical society:
> Jerome — a historic, quirky former mining town turned tourist spot with old buildings, winding streets, and a supernatural undercurrent.
> Wilcox and McAllister clan compounds (isolated estates, hidden magical spaces).
> Desert landscapes, canyons, and occasional trips to Phoenix or Sedona.
The atmosphere mixes Southwestern beauty (red rocks, clear skies, starry nights) with the tension of hidden magical wars and family legacies.
Tone & Themes
Romantic, emotional, and suspenseful — YA/NA paranormal romance with a strong enemies-to-lovers arc, slow-burn tension, and family drama. The tone is passionate and angsty (forbidden love, clan rivalry, betrayal, fear of destiny), but ultimately hopeful and redemptive, with themes of love transcending hatred, breaking cycles of violence, and choosing one’s own path. It includes steamy romance (explicit but not extreme), magical action, and emotional depth — more intense and dramatic than light cozies, but not grimdark.
The series is loved for its forbidden romance, rich magical world-building, strong heroine, and emotional depth — ideal for fans of YA/NA paranormal romance like Twilight, The Mortal Instruments, or A Court of Thorns and Roses with a witch clan twist. It has mature content (romance, violence, some trauma).
