Rating: 5 out of 5

Petra is the teen that we all wish we could be (or were) - irreverent, insightful, beautiful, and magical, of course. While she has some dark stuff in her past (a demon for a friend, a sinister father), she is like all of us - searching for her place in her family, trying to figure out high school, and falling for the cutest guy in school.When Petra starts at a new school in her mom's home town, she is definitely an outsider. Which is not helped by the fact that she's a blood witch, regardless of whether she actually knows how to use her magic or not. It lands her in trouble, as well as catching the eye of cute Finn. Unfortunately, she doesn't know if Finn has only recently killed his last girlfriend...The dialogues between Petra and her mom are so well thought-out, with such snappy and real dialogue, that it made me laugh out loud at points. Glad to read a story where not everyone has a leave it to Beaver family at home.Really enjoyed this story and look forward to anything else Sara Hubbard writes. Great book.
