Lena Hartwell has faced gods, golems, manticores, and celestial audits.
But she never faced this.
The Homeowner's Association.
A letter arrives from the Crystal Hollow HOA. New rule: No Magic After 8 PM. No spells. No charms. No potions. The curfew is absolute, and the penalty is eviction.
Lena is furious. The coven meets at 8 PM. The garden glows at midnight. Magic doesn't clock out.
The HOA president is Bartholomew Grimes, a silver-haired tyrant with a perfect suit and a smile that makes your skin crawl. He's been controlling the neighborhood for months—repainting houses, replanting lawns, and now, regulating magic.
But Bartholomew has a secret.
He's not human. He's Balthazar, a minor demon from the Underworld, hiding from celestial authorities. He passed the No Magic rule to weaken the witches before they could expose him.
Lena doesn't banish him.
She recruits him.
With her coven, her daughter Jade, and a growing army of hags, hedge-witches, and harpies, Lena launches a revolt against the HOA. She challenges the rule. She petitions the neighborhood. She fights bureaucracy with bureaucracy.
And in the end, she doesn't destroy her enemy—she redeems him.
Because in Crystal Hollow, everyone deserves a second chance. Even demons who can't file paperwork.
HOA & Hags is the eleventh book in The Crystal Hollow Series—a twenty-book journey perfect for fans of Practical Magic, Good Omens, and anyone who believes that HOA presidents are scarier than ancient gods.

The HOA is coming. The curfew is set. And the only thing standing between Crystal Hollow and bureaucratic tyranny is a menopausal witch with a petition, a coven, and a very grumpy plant.
