Goran Markovic goghie — This was a great YA novel! I highly recommend it for teens and adults alike.

Brent Merasty _pitt — What a great book! Beautiful, heartbreaking. Impossible to put down.

Gerardo D gerardodmf030 — This is the first time I read a book and can honestly say that my favorite character is the house. In this case, that's not an insult - the homestead of the Bishops, a long line of New England witches, is an excellent character; cranky, opinionated, prone to hiding things and given to occasionally sprouting entirely new rooms when it expects guests, any scene that involves the Bishop house is a winner. I wish I could say I liked the rest of the book as much as I loved the house (although I suppose that's a high bar). The story follows Diana Bishop, a researcher/professor who has rejected her witch lineage after the brutal murder of her parents when she was young. Traveling to Oxford to continue her work on alchemy, she calls forth a manuscript that has been lost for hundreds of years, and which proves to be of great importance to the three races of magical creatures that live amongst humans. Witches and Vampires are all over the place these days, and there is much to this world that feels fresh and newly drawn, especially in the three magical types of creatures and their relationship to humans (I love the details like the hyper-creativity of the demons, and the fact that most vampires are academics or scientists - because really, if you were immortal, you probably would go back to school!). I'm also looking forward to deepening the mythology of things like the relationship of alchemy to witchcraft and the creation of magical creatures that is foreshadowed for the next books. The only thing that didn't feel fresh to me about this was the romance. Matthew, the handsome vampire, doesn't quite feel as interesting as he should, and Diana, the spunky witch protagonist, falls into the unfortunate trap of starting out stubborn and independant, and then spending a huge amount of time wounded and sleeping all the time. Perhaps it was just that their eventual coming together felt so obvious that anticipating its outcoming wasn't suspenseful, or perhaps I'm just wary of another romance in which a human who is constantly wounded falls madly in love with a vampire who spends the night watching her sleep (also, and a slight spoiler alert, but can we PLEASE have a normal, planned wedding in one of these books?! What IS it about these weird vampire/human non-weddings?!). But caveats aside, I will definitely be looking forward to more in this series.

Catie Arce catarce65e2 — i read this on my own when I was 13 and i loved it. Now i have started to read it again. It really shows how willing people are to forget horrible things. It also shows how much some are willing to sacrifice to expose and destroy evil, whether it is a Nazi or not. It is powerful and thrilling, right up until the last page.
