Book Description

Publication Date: January 20, 2010 | Series: Wicked Series (Book 1)

Holly Cathers’s world shatters when her parents are killed in a rafting accident. She is wrenched from her home in San Francisco and sent to Seattle to live with her aunt, Marie-Claire, and her twin cousins, Amanda and Nicole. But sorrow and grief soon give way to bewildered fascination as one by one, strange incidents begin to occur. Such as the fact that any desire Holly whispers to her cat seems to come true. Or the fact that a beloved friend is injured after a freak attack from a vicious falcon. Or the fact of an undeniably magnetic and familiar attraction to a boy Holly barely knows. Holly, Amanda, and Nicole are about to be launched into a dark legacy of secrets, alliances, and machinations, where ancient magics yield dangerous results, where possession is commonplace, and where reincarnation is taken for granted – and the three girls must take on roles in an intergenerational feud the like of which they could never have imagined…

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up There is something unnatural about the tragic river rafting accident in which 17-year-old Holly Cathers lost her parents and best friend. Being forced to live with her Aunt Marie-Claire and twin cousins Nicole and Amanda in Seattle is not how Holly planned to spend her senior year in high school. It turns out that Holly has a history going back hundreds of years, and the past is about to catch up with her. Reincarnation, dark witchcraft, and blood sacrifice make for an intriguing story concept. However, the pretentious, stiff, and unbelievably clunky prose is further complicated by overly dramatic dialogue, unnecessary, meandering flashbacks, and the high school play of Romeo and Juliet. All of this lessens the impact of the core story of a supernaturally star-crossed pair of lovers from medieval France, reincarnated in the bodies of two modern teenagers. An earnest performance by Cassandra Morris of Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié's first title (Simon Pulse, 2008) in the series tries hard to rise above the pitfalls of the story, but falls short.
