This young adult, paranormal novella, coming in at about 100 pages, packs in a lot of action right off the bat. Georgia Sayers is 16 years old, but has had a traumatic childhood. Now, she lives with her four siblings and step-father. Sometimes she still sees weird visions and gets weird feelings. Some people still call her mother a witch. When she feels a strong pull to a new guy at school, a whole new and dangerous world opens up to Georgia and her siblings that her mother tried to protect them from.
This was a very engaging, fast-paced and fun story. I wish it didn't end so quickly. In the very beginning we are thrown into another tragic incident at a neighboring school, the rest of the book ties together that incident, all of the characters and the tragedy in Georgia's past. Leading with this mystery left a lot to be answered in this novella. I did enjoy Georgia's character, she easily to relate to and the way she discovers her abilities comes about in a natural way. Though witchcraft is a popular genre, I felt like the story was very unique and there are many detailed accounts of spells and Wicca. There is a layering on of mystery and thrills and secrets uncovered that kept me interested. It was a little annoying that Georgia kept playing yo-yo with Luke, but that's a 16 year-old girl for you. I'll be looking forward to the next book in the Amethyst series.… (more)
