Today we are joined by Becca Ritchie, author of the Wynter Chelsea series. Book 1, Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy, introduces readers to her magical world of creatures. Becca is here to give us a better look into her wild imagination...At 14, I sat hunched over my computer and researched different demons in demonology that I thought I could make a scene around. Late nights reading these scary demonic beings left me in cold chills … and I hadn’t even written them yet. So in order to sleep at night, I added in creatures, half demons, spirits, and the unexplained which diverge from demonology. Wynter Chelsea: The Legacy is where Amanda Chelsea witnesses the supernatural on a firsthand account, and the sequel is where the true horrors come to play. Until then, here’s the scary, the not so scary, and the truly horrifying.
A Field Guide to Wynter Chelsea’s Demonic Beings
CREATURES
Threat Level: Moderate
Classification: The easiest to kill but the hardest to distinguish. Creatures come in a variety of forms. These shape shifters can turn into something as docile as a cat to something as fierce as a tiger.
Weakness: Bullets, knives, etc. Once killed, they leave an ashy residue behind.
SPIRITS
Threat Level: Moderate
Classification: Invisible entities full of rage. They refuse to pass on and leave Earth and can produce an extreme strength in their fury.
Weakness: Their bones or an object that keeps their soul stuck on Earth. The spirit will disappear from Earth’s plane once the object is destroyed.
HALF DEMONS
Threat Level: Moderate
Classification: Demons in human form. Super senses, super strength, super everything makes them extremely hard to catch.
Weakness: Salt, holy items, and a blood red serum. This serum’s content remains secret, but once injected into the heart, a half demon will disappear out of thin air.
DEMONS
Threat Level: High
Classification: Varies with each type.
Weakness: Salt, holy items, and different weapons depending on the type of demon.
THE UNEXPLAINED
Threat Level: High
Classification: Unknown. They’re not demons, not creatures, not spirits, or anything outwardly demonic. Trevor Wynter would try and put aliens under this category (even though they have not been proven).
Weakness: Also unknown.
THE MARATHACA
Threat Level: Extreme
Classification: A creature that cannot be destroyed by guns, knives, etc. This creature has returned from Hell twice, and nothing known can vanquish him completely.
Weakness: To be determined…

This is totally interesting! I'm not sure how I would feel if my daughter looked up information on demonology, but good for you for taking the initiative! I was up to no good at 14....

Well, it sounds absolutely wonderful. I've always had a soft spot for the macabre and the wicked. And I know exactly what you mean about the cold chills! I frequently find myself reading up in the middle of the night, researching something creepy or horrific that caught my fancy earlier. I always end up sleeping with the light blazing on those nights! I can't wait to read your book, Becca :)
Wow, you definitely did a lot of research! I love how you broke everything down. A lot of times it is really confusing trying to remember who has what powers/ weaknesses. I am definitely looking forward to reading these!

Interesting pyramid. Never thought about putting the baddies in order of worst to worst. Wonder if it looks like a food pyramid to a vampire?
