About the book:
TONIGHT SHE’S GOING TO
FIND HER MAGIC OR DIE TRYING—HOPEFULLY IN THAT ORDER. AND WITHOUT DYING.
Cassandra Holly is
just your average witch living in Nevermore. Except for the witch part. To be a
witch, to stay in Nevermore—and in enchanting distance of her family—she needs
to find her magic.
Now.
Against all odds, she
does.
Sort of.
FINDING HER MAGIC IS
WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG.
Coming into her magic
is a dream come true. Stumbling onto a crime scene where the most powerful—and
crankiest—witch in Nevermore’s history has been murdered? Not so much. Being
hired by the witch’s ghost to find the killer? Verging into nightmare territory.
Ordinarily Cassie
would have left the crime solving to the experts. But it turns out the ghost is
not only well-versed in cranky, but coercion as well, and she isn’t going to
take no for an answer.
GHOSTLY DESPOT ASIDE,
WHAT IF THE MURDER WAS SIMPLY A RED-HERRING?
The more Cassie learns
about the murder, the more she realizes something more nefarious is afoot. And
if she doesn’t figure out the true mystery in time, she’ll lose her magic, her
family, her home.
And quite possibly
herself.

The review --
You so need to put
this on your to read list! It's awesome! The author has mixed magic and a
mystery, and has done it most brilliantly. Open this book and step into
Nevermore, a place hidden from the normal world, where magic still exists, and
so do witches. Meet Cassie, who is desperate to discover her magic so she won't
be exiled from her home.
Cassie gets in trouble
right off the bat, at the very beginning of the book. And she stays in trouble
right up to the very end of the book. The story has some wonderful twists and
turns, and Cassie and her friend find themselves in a fix or two. If I tell any
more, I'll tell you too much.
