"Evil isn't something you are, it's something you become."

Jessica O'Rourke is learning the dangers that young witches face when dabbling in not-so-good magic for personal gain. All of the women in Jessie's family are witches. Not the kind of witches that fly on brooms or cast spells with pointed sticks. They're the kind of witches that Jessie's mother called practical witches-that is, until she got killed. The worst part about her mother's death is that her father was the one who did it and now Jessie has to live in a house full of witchy aunts who remind her way too much of how sad she is inside. Jessie's father has gone missing but she knows he'll back to take down the rest of her family. After an encounter with a group of girls, who Jessie's Aunt Abby describes as "bad news," Jessie finds herself in a heated battle with the warlocks that threaten to destroy her entire bloodline. In time, she unveils an unimaginable secret about herself that will surely alter her future. Jessie has to decide which way she will turn and how she will use her new powers to stop her father from hurting anyone else. Can she prevent herself from becoming evil in the process?

·         Little detail I thought I would note: The cover of the book is beautiful, and completely goes with the story. I hate it when some book covers look nothing like they should. But I had no such problem here. :)

This book was fantastic! I was waiting very patiently for the book to arrive at my door, because I was so excited.

The Character's:
Main Character Jessica O'Rourke is a fabulous heroine. I thought she grew and matured a lot throughout the book. And In my opinion, that is a really good quality a character can have.

Michael, ohmigod Michael. He is a cute, sensitive, and a protective guy. I love him. His willingness toward Jessie is very endearing.

·         The plot was great. I really liked how M.A. Marino brought characters from Jessica's past, (like Mikey, and his cousin) into the book.

The romance between Jessica and Mikey is adorable, I loved it. But I also liked how the author kept to the story and didn't overdo it with the romance part of it.

The only problem I really had with it was that it was WAY too short. I just wanted to read it forever.

Over all, it was a fantastic read, and don't regret a single minute of it. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and reading through the night.
(I really hope there will be a sequel!!!)
