Cool Witchy Story
Kerrie Hughes is a talented author and a powerful social advocate as well as a keenly talented editor. Her stories reflect her beliefs and training. I enjoyed all the complications Lia Faraday struggles through as she tries to make her way in a world that has always shown her its tough and ugly side. She is thrust into a prominent wizard family's power struggle when her professor is murdered in front of her as she tries to find out if he can do magic like she can.
The professor's brothers think she is a pawn they can manipulate, but Lia has reservoirs of strength that she brings to bear as she struggles to stay alive and understand what magic is and how it works for her.
It is a gritty story of becoming and social acivism with a likable under dog character that deserves rooting for.
I look forward to the next book.

Whole lot of withholding information going on
I think a lot of young adults, and the rest of us, will relate to Lia's situation of being constantly only being given partial information "for her own good", and asked to give trust on faith. Sadly, since the reader is also denied the critical need-to-know information, this makes the complex story arc hard to follow. This isn't to say it isn't intriguing, but it would be nice to find someone who was not trying to manipulate everyone around them.

I loved this book. It hit me just right in all the right places. It was both familiar and new again. Hughes did a marvelous job of bringing not only the main character to life but all the characters. I can't wait for the next installment.
