Synopsis
Jinx High, the third Diana Tregarde novel, brings the witch and Guardian to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she has settled for a time and finds herself drawn into the lives of local teenagers after a string of strange deaths and accidents begins to trouble the community. Diana comes to suspect that a new student at the local high school, outwardly charming but secretly a powerful and malevolent sorceress, is manipulating those around her for her own dark purposes, leaving devastation in her wake that ordinary investigators cannot explain. As Diana works to confirm her suspicions and protect the teenagers caught in the sorceress's orbit, she must confront an opponent whose youth belies genuinely dangerous magical power.

Notes
- From the series record (Diana Tregarde): Three core novels follow psychic romance-novelist/witch Diana Tregarde investigating supernatural threats. Assorted short stories, novellas and omnibus/collected editions of this series exist but are kept out of Core as supplementary material, not part of the numbered novel sequence, following the same precedent already applied to Emily Windsnap's companion material.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
