This is the first book I read by D. L. Carter and I enjoyed it very much. The pace is fast with plenty of action and I like Amber, the young witch who is in over her head in many ways and who would rather deal with computers than cast spells. Her aunt's house and her sort of cousins are fascinating characters too.Amber is a strong, intelligent young woman who is in over her head and can use every bit of help she can get from her extended family and other witches. Her love interest comes off as an idiot at first but as we learn more about his history much becomes clear.However, I ended up feeling overwhelmed by too much going on . . . an "embarrassment of riches" as it were. I would have appreciated a slower pace with more background development instead of leaping from one situation to the next. What happened to Amber's aunt? What is the back story on the cousins?This isn't to say I won't happily read every book D. L. Carter writes though. She has a lively voice and an excellent sense of humor. I look forward to reading future installments in this series.
