When high school senior Jay Bonifacio finds her grandmother brutally murdered in their small-town home, the scar left by the death of her parents years earlier is ripped open. She is devastated, but she is not nearly as terrified as she should be. Jay is a Strega. Like her mother and grandmother, she is a descendant of the original Strega of ancient Etruria--gifted women of the woods bestowed with godly power, and the world's first witches. With the truth withheld from her all her life, Jay is blindsided when her power is unbound. Demons are coming for her. They killed the people she loved most to get to her, and they won't rest until she is dead. Forced to embrace her identity if only to survive, Jay uncovers a past life when her ruthless enemy's hatred for her was born, and she rediscovers an eternal love that has burned throughout lifetimes. Fighting for her life, she is drawn back into an ancient battle between the virtuous and the wicked that threatens to destroy her and all of humankind. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I was hooked from the first page. Karen Monahan Fernandes utilizes the words in a way that one is able to visualize even the smallest details of a setting. She is profoundly effective at guiding one through Jay's often, at first, unstable feelings and powers. As the narrative continues, there are many twists and turns, with all Fernandes' supporting characters both thrilling and engaging. Jay, in particular, is an excellent, complex heroine that thrives not only on the love of her soulmate and love of the family around her, but also on her own self, especially once she has come to fully understand her powers.
This is one of the few books in my life that I haven't been able to put down. If I've had to stop, I've rushed through whatever I had to do to get back to reading. I found myself gasping at several points throughout Jay's journey. For me, it was the perfect blend and balance of supernatural, historical, family and romantic love. And being of Italian descent, I'm now intrigued to research the Etruscan roots that permeate the novel. Suffice to say, I am eagerly and impatiently waiting for the next novel in the series. ( )
