I wanted to like this book.  I really did.  I loved the heroine, she was well constructed.  But I have this funny quirk, I like authors to use words and concepts correctly.1.  The People who were born before you and had something to do with your birth are you ANCESTORS not your Descendants.2.  Polar opposites attract - any one who has had two magnets given to them in first year science knows this.The plot: Girl with unknown magical powers is sought by evil man who wants to stomp out all witches.  His ancestors (who the authors insist on calling his descendants not once but repeatedly) had something to do with Salem.  And he BURNS the witches like they did in Salem.  In Salem they were hung.  Also in Europe you were hung for being a witch and then burned for being a heretic.  History, people, read it before you write about it.  Back and side characters: cliche' - bitchy preppy boys and girls, nice stoner boy.  Yadda yadda.  Yeah, I am probably not the age group this is meant for, but I used to be.  And believe me, had this not been in my kindle, this would have gone sailing across the room had I been 17 or 42.  A simple editor would have done you wonders.
