Synopsis:
Raines Landing is like any other town. It has its own diners, schools, hospitals, class divisions, and magic. Wait, that last bit is what sets it apart. Generations ago, before the Salem Witch Trials, the real witches of Salem left town and formed their own community of magic users — a community that had a curse so that those born there couldn’t leave and normal humans couldn’t enter. This curse kept the community secluded, with only a few exceptions. Turns out the mentally unstable homicidal maniacs out there could occasionally find their way in.

Review:
I had the opportunity to read an unedited advanced reader’s copy of the book, so that being said I will only talk about the story since the nitpicky stuff may change between now and when it is released. While the saying goes “one should never judge a book by its cover,” that is an excellent place to start here. It easily sets the mood, and really grabbed my interest. The mood? Dark and ominous.

This is a book right up my alley. You need say no more than magic and serial killers to get my heart pumping (I know I do say this a lot, but I am passionate about so many things!). I love a good “good vs evil” fight and when that involves mysterious towns, magic, and magically enhanced serial killers you have my attention. The pace was excellent, there was enough action to keep the pages turning and enough character development to keep you interested.

If I have one complaint, it is that I had a hard time figuring out the curse that surrounded Raines Landing and Raines Landing itself. There were definitely passages where I could see the town, its rich neighborhoods or more disadvantaged areas, so visually it was intact.

Wow, this book definitely sounds ‘dark and ominous’! But still seems to be interesting.
