Still, the world and story were interesting enough to keep me engaged, and even with these little stumbles, I didn't want to set the book down.įans of witches, magic, slightly dark romances and hidden evil will enjoy diving into these pages and are sure to get caught up in Hannah's world. But then there were hiccups even later on, at times.

Especially the first chapters were a little confusing, and it seemed as if some information was missing. Some of the reactions seemed a bit sudden, or lacked a little more background. I enjoyed the hesitation in the romance, but found it sometimes was a little off in the chemistry. Even the romance holds dark secrets, which keep the tension high the whole way through. The plot moves along quick, never leaving a moment for boredom. Although witches and wizards are key in the plot, other types of magic also have an influence as magic from cultures such as the Incas and even a bit of the Greek mythology is sprinkled in.

The magic is intense but it slides right along with normal high school life in a smaller town. The idea of covens and witches living right under normal human radar comes across very naturally. In other words, she's far from perfect but still a true heroine inside. She's a bit snarky at times and tends to snap out exactly what she thinks, but there's a caring side to her and her moral compass keeps her actions intact. Hannah isn't comfortable in her own skin, and it's a rough road before she learns to accept who she is. There's tons of magic, wonderful tension and enough twists and turns to keep one guessing until the end. Even if Hannah is sure she doesn't have it and wants nothing to do with it, the girls' quest for power turns into a deadly game.

Hannah's attempts to deny what she is unravel as she's faced with three girls/witches, who are determined to make her life not only difficult but use any means possible to steal a so-called 'key' from her. After her parents' tragic deaths, she lives with her aunt in Annapolis and is forced to take part in the coven she was born into. Hannah is a witch, although she wishes she wasn't and tries to keep the magic inside of her from surfacing. Shadowed with a constant layer of darkness, this read packs magic, tension, and the hand of fate into a read which hooks until the last page.
