Backlist: Season 4 continues with Cate Tiernan's SWEEP series book two: THE COVEN (from 2001)!

Chill: What're we boozin' today? Cyna's whipped up a Witches Brew (1 part each Midori, Sprite, orange juice, but then also added vodka, more OJ, and more Sprite to make it taste, uh, better). Ollie is drinking a modified Broken Mirror (1 part each Absente absinthe, lime, sugar-water). Check out our set ups on twitter: Cyna - Ollie.
