From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Witching Savannah series comes the story of a young witch's quest to uncover her family's terrifying history...
Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who've relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness - willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic's waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too - caged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.
Yet the more she seeks the truth about her family's troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mother's reach while determining the future of all witches.

The good:
The language and the sense of place. He did a wonderful job of making me feel New Orleans.
SOME of the characters were very engaging.
The "world building" of the magical world.
The bad:
Too much of a good thing -- this book is almost all "world building" and very little actual plot. It reads like one very long
prologue to the next book. That annoyed me no end. Almost nothing actually happens plot-wise until the very end of this
book and is then just a set up for the next.
Much of the character building is too ambiguous for too long. I applaud subtlety and clever plotting, but having no idea who
the good guys and bad guys are for 4/5th's of the book was too much. I very nearly DNF'd this one.
The quality of the recording was not up to par. The places where edits had been patched in were obvious and distracting.
The Meh
Many of the characters are well drawn and fascinating, but not all of them. Some were just "meh" there and taking up space.
Since the book is all "hang on and wait for the next book!!" I am not sure they are important characters. I am also not sure I care enough to read the next book to find out.

Great Read

But the ending was a bit flat to me, and I wasn't so impressed with the resolution because it left a lot of things hanging. Is there a second book? I hope so.
I loved it!
