Diana Bishop is a witch but she avoids whenever possible using magic so had a PhD and doing research at Oxford was an interesting opening especially when she is confronted by a civilized vampire who wants to protect her from the other vampires and demons as well as the wicked witches.
This Young Adult book is very entertaining without the gore of normal attacks, etc. It also had some very interesting historical information throughout.
