Read during Dewey's read a thon!This was yet another interesting tale about witches and I loved the beginning, the library and what lies underneath and the secrets surrounding Cait, and the introduction of Nox.She opened her hand to reveal a large furry spider, bright purple bands on its legs and body. She held it close to Ariane's hair and the spider stepped across, feeling its way with its long legs, nestling into its new home.Can we say? YAY for spiders? I love them!!I did love the characters once I was able to get everything back in order I felt much better. I did love Simon's use of description and the way he is able to write is almost poetic in a way and even while I was lost that is what kept me going. Cait was just amazing. And her grandmother is a spitfire! But this book made me question who I should believe even while wanting to trust.There's the difference between the magic we work and the magic of the undain. Magic should never be used lightly. It is a wonderful and terrible gift.What I really enjoyed were the bits about Nox. For some reason I just really like him! I love when the bad guys are awesome and with his fabulous introduction and just the way he carries himself, I just couldn't bring myself to totally hate him!So, all in all, very interesting story. Maybe it didn't hit me right at the beginning because there is a small time shift but I'm sure this will be a paranormal lover's dream. The characters and the way Simon writes definitely add to the story!Received by author for an honest review.
