Fifteen
year-old Cait Weerd has no idea she’s being sought by the undain:
sorcerous creatures of necromancy that feed off the spirit of the living.
She doesn’t know the undain need her blood to survive. She doesn’t
even know she’s a witch, descended from a long line of witches. Cait Weerd
doesn’t know a lot, really, but all that’s about to change.
At Manchester Central Library she’s caught up in sudden, horrific violence. In the chaos she’s handed an old book that’s been hidden there and told to run, hide the book or destroy it. It contains all the secrets of the undains’ existence. They and their human servants want to find that as much as they want Cait.
What’s more, she learns that the fate of two worlds is at stake here. Just what she needs. Along with definitely-not-a-boyfriend Danny, she has to decide what the hell to do. Run, fight or just hope it all goes away.
It’s only then she learns who she really is, along with the terrible truth of what the undain have been doing in our world all this time …

Lines “Magic should never be used lightly. It is a wonderful and terrible
gift. And there is always a cost. What you send out comes back to you
threefold. It's the way of nature, the way it should be. And we accept, welcome
even, the price paid. After the day there must be the night. After the summer,
the winter.”
“She
would never allow herself to become like that thing in the library.”
“He
is. I know. But I still believe him. Don't you see? We broke him after all. And
now he has to ask us for our help. We should take him.”
This
was a great witch book! Cait knows nothing of her heritage until tragedy that
strikes close to home, Cait steps up to the plate to defeat the Undain! My
favorite character was Cait's grandmother, she never let any of this get her
down.
It's
a good story that keep me reading, I will admit to getting a little lost in the
book but I worked my way through it. This is totally a series I will
follow and would recommend to anyone who loves book with magic.
I
was given this book in exchange for an honest review (Xpresso)
