A Witch-ish Guide to Protectors and Pendulums by Sarah Zolton Arthur

Saving the world was never on her to-do list.

Simone Lamia is just your average witch—or so she thought. When a brooding hellhound with a chip on his shoulder crashes into her life, she discovers that destiny has other plans. An ancient dark force, hell-bent on destroying everything she holds dear, has marked her as the one person who can stop it.
But here’s the thing: saving the world sucks.
Between dodging death, unlocking her latent powers, and dealing with a supernatural hottie who might be as dangerous as he is irresistible, Simone’s life has officially gone off the rails. And as if that wasn’t enough, she’s got a hellhound partner who’s more inclined to snarl than talk.
With the fate of the world hanging by a thread, Simone must navigate a twisted web of magic, danger, and unexpected romance. But with each step closer to the truth, the stakes get higher, and the line between enemy and ally blurs.

Will Simone embrace her destiny and save the world? Or will this witch’s last trick be her final undoing?
