Peachy: The First Bite

Camri Kohler’s Peachy: The First Bite introduces Frankie, a twenty-three-year-old woman whose life shifts after discovering her grandmother dead. Her friend Ben Bowen, identified as a witch and seer, reveals the magical world of Aspen Ridge, Utah. He guides Frankie into her new role as a restoration witch, helping her heal rather than harm. Together with Cleo, another coven member, Frankie learns to manage the complex hierarchy of witches, including dragons, shifters, and vampires who drain life. The plot centers on revenge against the vampire responsible for her grandmother’s death. Ben expects the creature to seek Frankie’s vitality, but the antagonist has different intentions. Frankie must overcome her fear and self-doubt while resisting the urge to drink. She faces nightmares and unspeakable horrors alongside her friends to stop this common enemy. The narrative focuses on their struggle to survive and eliminate the threat together. This novel suits readers interested in contemporary urban fantasy with a focus on healing magic and supernatural politics. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional dark horror without magical elements or characters who rely heavily on alcohol for coping mechanisms.
