Seventeen-year-old
Cassie leaves school for home one afternoon and encounters a beautiful boy with
an enchanting voice who steals her life force then makes her forget the attack
ever happened. For other girls the memory loss would be the end of the story,
but Cassie is Wiccan and she uses her intelligence and authentic witchcraft to
remember the truth. Her spell sets in motion a dangerous mind-blowing adventure
that takes her to another dimension, the astral plane, where anything is
possible and a perilous romance with Trenton blossoms. Cassie learns that
Trenton is a Siren. Ruthless, deadly and elegant, the Sirens are an evolved
species, a combination of the Muses, the Graces, and the Undead. They have
influenced human art, music, and dance through the ages -- with a price, and
Trenton’s family is renovating a decaying resort to open a school for teens
gifted in the arts. A dangerous love triangle develops between Trenton, his
intended Siren Match Iris, and his true Match Cassie, turning Cassie’s world upside
down. Halloween looms and the veil between worlds thins. Stereotypes break down
when friends come to Cassie’s aid, and she must delve deeper into her knowledge
of witchcraft to discover the High Priestess within. The tale culminates at
midnight on Halloween in a desperate astral battle to save each other from
Iris’s fury or be trapped on the astral plane forever.
My thoughts:
This is a brilliant foray into paranormal romance
and Wiccan practices. This stunning beautiful masterpiece drew me in from the
first page as the book touched on many aspects of my solitary Pagan path. The
author is a practicing Wiccan; her book introduced the reader into the
different facets of the Wicca religion. Basic concepts were touched upon in the
beginning of the book, weaving the Wiccan element with romance masterfully. It
was a refresher on some of my own practices so I enjoyed it immensely. Some of
the things that were shared in the book were astral travel, tarot cards, spell
crafting, Book of Shadows, the God and Goddess, reincarnation, and Summerland.
It’s almost like you are actually reading a Book of Shadows in the beginning.
The average reader may be put off at first with
the alternative religion references but if they have an open mind, they will
thoroughly enjoy the flow of the book. As the story continues, you find yourself
really rooting for Trenton and Cassie’s budding romance and feeling pity for
the villainess.
This is granted a 5 fairy rating for the blend of
romance, Wiccan practices, and paranormal. I am highly anticipating the next
book in the series.
