Like A Charm surveys Ramya’s growing powers amid a family of secrets and a world where folklore is both danger and wonder, pushing her to challenge expectations and uncover the truth about the Hidden Folk.

What This Collection Covers:
Across Show Us Who You Are, Like A Charm, and Like A Curse, McNicoll threads themes of identity, belonging, and resilience through different lenses: the modern tech era, family lore, and ancient magic. The set invites readers to explore how friendships form under pressure, how secrets shape choices, and how young protagonists discover their voice when confronted with powerful systems—whether those systems are corporate boards, inherited enchantments, or perilous myths reawakened in contemporary settings. With brisk pacing and sharp humor, the collection balances high-stakes adventures with quiet, character-driven moments that celebrate ingenuity, courage, and the power of community. These novels stand alone yet feel interconnected by shared motifs: self-discovery, moral courage, and the idea that even small acts can shift a larger story. Ideal for fans of fantasy rooted in real-life emotion, the set offers three distinct pathways into a shared universe of wonder.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Show Us Who You Are: When Cora accompanies her brother to a high‑stakes business environment, she unexpectedly forges a friendship with Adrien, the CEO’s son. What begins as a curiosity about a glittering tech world soon reveals deeper questions about loyalty, power, and what it means to belong. As Cora becomes entangled in unusual projects at Pomegranate Technologies, she must decide where her loyalties lie and how far she’s willing to go to protect friends and her own sense of self. McNicoll delivers a witty, fast-paced narrative with warmth and wit, inviting readers to root for a heroine who learns that courage isn’t loud, it’s persistent and true.

Like A Charm: Ramya’s world is steeped in family secrets and ancient magic, and she’s determined to uncover the truth about the Hidden Folk. Guided by a grandfather’s warning—to beware the Sirens—Ramya embarks on a quest that tests her courage and reveals the breadth of her own powers. As mysteries deepen and loyalties are tested, she discovers that magic can be both a gift and a responsibility. The book blends folklore with contemporary family dynamics, offering a gripping voyage filled with suspense, humor, and moments of luminous discovery that will linger long after the last page.

Like A Curse: Ramya Knox finds herself navigating a city under the spell of a formidable Siren, while Loch Ness and Edinburgh tremble with magical upheaval. She’s meant to be learning magic from Aunt Opal, but the lessons don’t come easy. With time running out, Ramya must push past frustration, rally allies, and rescue her Hidden Folk friends. The narrative crescendos into a push‑pull of danger and solidarity, delivering a satisfying blend of action, heart, and a quiet belief in the strength of community and the magic that lives in ordinary places.
