Gabriella is a witch.
The problem is, she doesn't remember. She repressed the memories of her
powers years ago when her mother was murdered. Now, the warlock who was
responsible for her mother's death has set his sights on Gabriella. He
is determined to use her fear to turn her to the dark side of
magick…even if it kills her. Her mother's spirit is reaching out to warn
her, but even that she pushes away. Desperate to save her daughter, the
spirit finds a male witch–one that just happens to be in love with
Gabriella. Darron is more than willing to help but the two young witches
will have way more to battle than just an evil warlock. There are
overbearing jocks and petty rich girls who get tempers flaring and often
set Gabrielle and Darron at odds.
There is more to the story than Gabrielle and Darron could even imagine. There are terrible secrets to be revealed, battles to be waged, and lives will be lost. Only after Gabrielle and Darron both come to terms with who they really are, and open themselves up to the true meaning of magick, can they have any hope of fulfilling their destiny.

I found this book so deliciously clichéd! Not the entire
thing, there are some wonderful twists and turns, but honestly it
reminded me of when I first fell in love with 'The Craft'. It's nothing
like it, but it has that same witchy, homey, 'witch finding herself'
feel.
We have this
wonderful cast of teenagers that you can love and hate and cheer and boo
and just really enjoy. As an adult, it reminded me why I'm so glad not
to be a teenager anymore! For teenagers, though, there's definitely
going to be at least one character to identify with.
The
best part for me was that this is definitely the beginning of an epic
story. There's so much
action and drama with a little romance inside. I just can't wait to
find out what happens next. I was absolutely enthralled, clear through
the epilogue.
Thankfully,
this is a good story for younger readers. There's an allusion to sex
at one point, but we don't have to watch it happen. The language is
pretty clean. There's plenty of violence, but there really isn't much
blood. You'll find some scary parts, but they're not detailed enough to
make them over the top. You get to use your imagination and make it as
gruesome or 'g' rated as you like.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
