Goodreads Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Leah Grant
has given up on being normal. She’d settle for stopping the voices in her head,
intrusive visions of the future, and better odds of making it to her
seventeenth birthday.
That’s the thing
about pretending to be human in a world where magic used to exist – at any
moment, her cover could be blown and she’ll be burned to death like the rest of
the witches.
Everything changes
when she loses control of her powers and flees the orphanage she grew up in.
She desperately wants to be invisible but finds her face plastered on every
news channel as humans panic over the possible resurgence of her kind. And now
the hunters won’t give up until they find her.
Making friends for
the first time in her life and falling in love with one of them drives her to
discover why she is unlike any being she’s ever met – human or otherwise. The
dangerous powers inside of her that would repel Nathan, her new, handsome
reason for living, are priceless to some. The locked up forever kind of
priceless. And to others, they are too dangerous to allow her to live.
Let’s hope she can
stay hidden.
My Review:
The beginning started off at a slow
pace focusing on the many small details of Leah Grant's life. She is a 16-year-old
student living at a private school. She has known about her magical abilities
since she was a small child and hiding her powers from the school and other
students is a hard task. Leah has to keep her witch powers hidden so she
doesn't get hunted down by the government and experimented on or put to death.
There was a huge war between the humans and magical creatures after which everyone
believes witches don't exists. However, they are in hiding.
Leah Grant is a shy, lonely,
unsociable girl who gets picked on by the other girls at school everyday. Each
day Leah gets insulted and humiliated which causes her to become depressed and
angry. One day, when she has had enough emotional torture from her classmates,
she loses her mind. She wishes that she can kill these girls for being rude,
means, and heartless. Before Leah can process her thoughts, an old women comes
to her rescue and asks her to trust her. Leah takes this woman's hand and ends
up in New Orleans
As
Leah's new life begins, she feels right at home. Everyone is caring, loving, and
helpful just like a family should be. But Leah will soon realize there is more
to her than anyone ever guessed. She is far more special and powerful than the
average witch. So at this point things start to get interesting and the pace is
fastened. Leah starts to use her magic towards the end of the book, which I
kind of didn't like. I would have rather seen her do magic a little early on,
but that's just my point of view. Overall, an okay read. I haven't read a paranormal
book only about witches, (usually a mix of the supernatural) so this was an
interesting book to read. I liked the characters and the story line. However, I
felt like it took forever to get to the point. Hopefully, the next book in this
series is fast paced with more action and romance.
*Although I rated this book with only three starts, I will be continuing with this series just to find out what happens to Leah and her abilities. Plus I really want to know what happens between Leah and Nathan!!*
