And it’s not like she chases Amy’s boyfriends or ever reciprocates any of their affections. Julia can’t help her looks and how people are attracted to her. Amy, her best friend, worships the ground she walks on, as does every single one of Amy’s boyfriends. Julia is just the tits as far as everyone around her is concerned. And man, does he love paragons of perfection that everyone fawns over. I just didn’t like WITCH as much as I liked, say, THE LAST VAMPIRE so I noticed it more. I mean, in hindsight I think all of his books are overwritten. But using the supernatural powers at her command, and risking her own life plus the lives of her friends, Julia will find the answers to all these questions, at a terrible cost. She doesn't know why the gunman in her vision evokes such hatred in her, and why she feels she must destroy him at all costs. Or does he have to die? Julia doesn't know if her vision of the future is set, or if it can be changed. He does not belong to her and he is supposed to die. Julia immediately falls for the guy, but it is an ill-fated love. Only later, when Julia attends a football game at school, does she meet the young man. What she sees is a vision of the future, a scene in which a young man she doesn't know is shot in a hold-up and dies in her arms.

Unfortunately, almost by accident, Julia does. But before Julia's mother died, she warned her daughter never to look in water that had moonlight shining on it. She comes from a tradition of witches-good witches.

She also knows things that are happening in far-off places when she looks in water that has sunlight shining on it. She has the ability to heal people with her touch. Julia is a young woman with extraordinary powers.
