Patti Larsen has become one of my favorite authors, and one of the ones who I stalk until she releases another book in the series.  The Hayle Coven series is just one of the best of all time.  I don't care if it's categorized as YA, or whatever,  it's just so good, there's no denying it.  I will read anything she writes, I don't care what it is.  Especially if it has Sassafras in it.  Her characters are worth caring about, and they have enough flesh to know whether or not you care.  I don't usually buy stories about witches -- it seems kind of juvenile.  But . . . her stories are riveting.  Her characters seem essential to me, in my literary life.  I know I'm not exactly reviewing this particular book, but it's part of the whole.  This series stands apart from the normal stuff you buy, some of which is free, and therefore, good.  Yay free.  BUY THIS SERIES.  You have to start at the beginning.  Don't worry -- it's really worth it.
