It has been a few weeks since I read this book yet the excitement lives on.  From the memorizing cover to the last white page I was mesmerized.  I totally got sucked into this story.  This was unlike any witch story I've ever read.Jewel is a teenager (weeks from turning 17)  living with a family who's constantly on the run.  With every relocation there is a new school, new people to avoid and new name and different identity.  Living as a part of the witness protection program is the only life she has ever known.  So why question it!  Right?From the first couple of pages there is a mysterious air surrounding Jewel's 17th birthday.  It's a hush, hush topic everyone whispers about it, but never straight out talk about it, especially around Jewel.  Boy oh boy, when her world starts crashing down, this book became an extension of my arm.  The plot was so intricately woven.  It never slowed down, and the surprises came like a wicked curve ball. The portrayal of witch culture, society, and matrix was fascinating.  The characters were very believable.  I bought every lie and felt every betrayal.  I thoroughly enjoyed this tale.  While it ended on a good note, I wouldn't be disappointed if there was a sequel.*I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
