I’m a sucker for stories about Salem. I love the town, and it makes such a rich backdrop for a paranormal book. The author makes great use of the setting, winding in elements of Salem’s violent history alongside the modern commercial aspects of the town.

The story itself is fast-paced and filled with magickal twists and turns. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I look forward to reading Collins’ next book!

Vivid details interspersed with the history of Salem made this book a fascinating read. While tension kept tightening and never let go, it was the emotions of the hero and heroine gave the story its heart. I loved it.
