This was a fantastic paranormal romance. Kylie is a fantastic lead, and I loved her snarky attitude. Her relationship with Erasmus is interesting and what will happen with the sheriff? What is Kylie's family's history? I look forward to getting to know the other characters as well. I found this book to be one of the best in this genre,

What would you do if you found a strange book hidden in the wall of your building that attracts plenty of interest from a strange, mysterious man, and the local wiccan community. But the first person to help provide history to this book is found dead soon after you spoke.
An enthralling read that kept me up late reading into the night. The storyline is captivating with mystery and magic and maybe the devil himself!

This book was a joy from beginning to end. It builds up the characters so that you really care what happens to them. There were twists and turns that you really don't see coming, especially at the end. Thank goodness it is the beginning of a series. I m really looking forward to what happens next.

Beware of things unseen!

This was so not what I expected. It was a crazy, wild ride and such a departure for Westerson.
(And to think she dreamt about the major elements of the story--amazing--ah the subconscious!)
A new entry into the urban paranormal genre complete with a mild mannered Wiccan group, a woman escaping a bad relationship who flees from California to Maine. Was she summoned or was it all just coincidence? Right!
What do you do when you break down a brick wall in your new abode and find a musty old book. You open it and summon ... things that go beyond the wildest imagination for Kylie Strange.
I loved the magical cross bow.
I loved the demon (not quite the daemon lover of Scottish fame) or whatever Mr. Erasmus Dark might be. The quips Kylie directs at him are hilarious.
I'm not sure about Sheriff Bradbury.
I loved the Wicca coven including the teenager who is a cross between Wynona Rider and Julia Stiles.
Suddenly, for the coven and Kylie, fighting demons, incubus and such us becomes the norm.
Then there's the coven dedicated to dark, and a different demon.
And let's not forget the sector of town who once upon a time, in the past, would have happily burnt all of the above at the stake, of which one member has hereditary links to Kylie.
A great start to a new series.

A wonderful, fun book full of great and interesting characters. The setting of rural Maine in autumn is a perfect backdrop for this story. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

This book is not the type of book I usually read, but since Ms. Westerson wrote it, and I love everything else she's written that I've read (Crispin's medieval novels, etc.), I wanted to give this a shot, and I'm glad I did! It's full of action and intrigue, intensely scary parts and even some romance, which makes it all good. I love the tea shop idea - we don't have them where I live, and I can envision having a great cup of amazing tea there. I am looking forward to the 2nd book in this series, to read not only what Ms. Westerson has in store for us, but to see how the relationships progress.

I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book. For fans of Deborah Harkness.

Wonderful, creepy, fantastic adventure! First time with this author, so glad I got a review copy from netgally!

A good and interesting cozy urban fantasy. The murders are not bloody and gory. Doc Boone is my favorite character. I want to read the rest of the books in this series.

An exciting new series from a gifted storyteller. This one pulls you into the Booke, and doesn't let go.
