The sisters of Kappa Rho Nu are more than just a sorority -- they're a coven of witches.

Vivian "Vivi" Deveraux begins her freshman year at Westerly College at a glamorous Kappa Rho Nu (AKA the Ravens) party where she feels out of place. She goes to the school to get away from her mother, a psychic who kept Vivi moving around her entire life. At the party, she meets Kappa Scarlett who doesn't think Vivi is Ravens material.

Scarlett is a junior who is vying for sorority/coven president next year and will do whatever it takes to succeed. She isn't convinced that Vivi, who has no idea that she's a witch, will make a good addition to the coven. When she sees Vivi talking to her boyfriend, her dislike increases. Scarlett is assigned Vivi as her little sister, who she must train in basic witchcraft.

A suspicious ex-Raven shows up and starts making trouble for the Ravens. Events become increasingly dire, and all the girls must band together to protect themselves and each other. There's an element of mystery as the girls need to figure out who is at the heart of their issues.

Sophie Amoss has a voice that sounds young enough to convincingly portray college-age women. She flawlessly switches between accents for different characters.

Recommended for teens and adults who enjoy tales of the supernatural.
