Rating: 4.25/5
Alexandrea has returned home after a tragic occurrence - her parents have been murdered. Her grief is multiplied when she is haunted by nightmares - she begins to wonder if she is a monster. Did she kill her parents? If not, who did? Why? She reconnects with her old boyfriend, Jake, who helps her through this difficult time in her life. Along with her clairvoyant cousin, Mia, Alexandrea tries to get to the bottom of what is going on.
This book is a bit mystery, a bit thriller, and a bit romance. Alexandrea has a very warm and supportive group of people around her to help her through this difficult time. It is exciting to see her discover things about her heritage throughout the book. There is a lot of suspense, and I was constantly guessing as to who the murderer might be. Things got really interesting when we learned about some of the supernatural forces at play.
I loved the scenes about the Book of Shadows and the discussions about the sigil. I really hope we get to see more of the supernatural aspects in the next book.
My only complaint was that it felt a little light on the paranormal elements!
A well crafted, thrilling, and (at times) creepy book. I am looking forward to the next installment!
Other ratings:
Violence: Heavy - There are some reasonably graphic scenes in this book. Throat slashing, hearts beating outside of a body, eyeballs dangling, blood dripping, shooting, and stabbing. It is sometimes disturbing, and it described thoroughly.
Profanity: Medium- There is profanity, but it is not used excessively. A word, F bomb, S word, etc. These were not overused.
Sexuality: Mild - There is almost no sexuality in this book apart from one scene. There is nothing explicit, only implied.
