Won from a giveaway on Librarything I was curious when I saw the cover and read the synopsis of the book. A little leery and on my way to wanting something more new and fresh to read than the usual of my genre pool as of late I decided that a break from Zombies or some Paranormal Romance this would be just my cup of tea and picked it for my read this week. I was gladly not disappointed. Upon reading the book I was pulled in and could not stop turning the pages. The concept was nice and fresh with a little bit of the old classical horror feel from most angles.
It’s about Lysander a young man new to the area alienated not only by peers and classmates for how he dresses and how he acts sometimes but as well by his own father who seems to hold a grudge against him for the past loss of his little brother that never came to full term and the injury to his mother. Now with their home having been burned down they have moved to the town of Millingham and little did they know that the darkness there was ready to consume them all or at least Lysander.
Samantha Crow daughter to the town Sheriff and all around dark girl or Wiccan as most do not know or understand has been having nightmares herself of her mother and her mothers death. She doesn’t believe that her mother committed suicide like her father and others of the town are trying to make her believe and she’s not only right the murderer is out there still and looking for her and Lysander.
Together these two face hell only to find out the dark past of themselves their souls and the town. Together they will have to correct the mistakes of their past and past lives and try to out live the killer that is hunting them and some of their friends and family down. I have enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from Griffin Hayes. A wonderful action filled story and one I highly recommend.
