A Q&A with a character from "Crushed" :

Welcome to Dish with Maxie. Today, I am interviewing Sol Moreno High student Kristen Noah. I don’t usually invite teenagers onto my show, but Kristen has a juicy secret. Don’t change that channel. You won’t want to miss a second of this.

Maxie : Kristen, is it true you’re a witch?
Kristen : I... what? Who told you that? Was it my sister? Was it Brittany? Cause she makes up stories all the time, so you can’t believe anything she says.

Maxie : Okay, let’s talk about your sisters then. Tell us about them. You’re a triplet, right?
Kristen : Yes. There are three of us. Brittany is always in trouble, and Cyndi is always trying to fix it.

Maxie : Isn’t it true that Cyndi uses magic to fix things? Aren’t all three of you witches?
Kristen : Don’t be silly. There’s no such thing as witches.

Maxie : Not what I heard. In fact, a little bird told me they saw you and Brittany fighting at school. Weird things were happening like stuff flying through the air, shattered windshields in the parking lot, and people popping out of sight. How do you explain that?
Kristen : Overactive imaginations.

Maxie : Tell me about your new boyfriend. Zach, is it?
Kristen : Zach has a bad reputation, but he’s always there when I need him.

Maxie : Is it true you needed him when a building collapsed on you? Did he teleport you out of there?
Kristen :What? Where are you getting this information?

Maxie : Is it true Zach has dark powers and can change into an animal?
Kristen : No! (rips off microphone) This interview is over.

Maxie : (with a smile) Are there witches in Sol Moreno? You be the judge.




"Crushed"
[The Witch-Game Series, Book 1] by Kasi Blake (aka K. C. Blake)

Author's Book Description :
    The Noah girls have beauty, powers, and brains.

    They use all three to play their games.

    They blow the dust,

    the boys are crushed,

    and no one is ever the same.

    Each year the Noah girls play a secret game— Crushed. The rules are simple.


    1. Use wisdom to pick your target. The boy can’t be too weak or too strong-willed.

    2. Blow the enchanted dust into your target’s face to enchant (Crush) him.

    3. Give verbal commands and assign them tasks to perform throughout the year. The more tasks completed, the stronger the witch’s power grows.

    4. At the end of the year, the witch with the most power wins cold, hard cash.

    As if being a witch in high school isn’t complicated enough, Kristen picks the wrong boy to Crush. Zach is tall, handsome, and a little scary. Her Crush spell isn’t working on him like it has with the others. In fact, he is behaving the opposite of every other boy she’s Crushed, hating her instead of adoring her. Something is definitely wrong. After someone attempts to kill her, Kristen realizes there is more at risk than a few hundred dollars. She may be betting with her life.

My Book Review :
    2 out of 5 stars. Going into her senior year of high school, Kristen is optimistic that this year will be great. However, from the first day things go from okay to terrible…
    • Her nemesis, Gina, calls her out in front of everyone.
    • Her sister bets her to “crush” Zach, one of the hottest/scariest boys in school, which leads to another rivalry unintended between her and her sister.
    • Now she has to deal with a Zach, who isn’t acting like a “crushed guy” should and instead of falling for her, he seems to hate her even more. Except for those rare occasions when he’s charming her…
    From that day on life as Kristen knows it will never be the same. But will it be all for the best or will things just keep getting worse?

    Wowza goes the drama! Suspenseful from beginning to end, this novel keeps its readers on their toes. [READ MY FULL REVIEW & THREE TEASERS]

About the Author :

When Kasi Blake was in the third grade, she found out that a good story could get her out of trouble. Okay, some people call it a lie, but she didn't see anything wrong with using every skill available to her to avoid being grounded. Over the years, that didn't change. Her stories just grew more elaborate. When she was 12, she began to write them down, starting with a six-page tale about a boy from the wrong side of the tracks and the good girl that secretly wanted him. Kasi went on to write for Harlequin for a few years. Then, she published a vampire series on her own, and now she is publishing with Clean Teen.

Get ready for an exciting series on witches using their powers to play dangerous games at school. The first is "Crushed." You can find her on Twitter @kasiblake, on FB, and she has a website under her name.

Kasi lives on a farm in the Midwest with tons of animals including cows, ducks, chickens, a dog, and cats.
