I received this book for free from HarperCollins in exchange for an honest review. In her second novel, Leslye Walton spins a dark, mesmerizing tale of a girl stumbling along the path toward self-acceptance and first love, even as the Price Guide’s malevolent author-Nor’s own mother-looms and threatens to strangle any hope for happiness. But when a mysterious book comes out promising to cast any spell for the right price, Nor senses a dark storm headed straight for Anathema-and straight for her. Nor hopes the curse has played itself out through enough generations that she’ll finally be spared the drama. All she wants is a quiet, unremarkable life-her powers are blissfully unexceptional, her love life pretty much nonexistent. That’s perfectly all right with seventeen-year-old Nor Blackburn. The vengeful curse, however, had unintended side effects: it diluted the Blackburns’ supernatural powers. Ever since the extraordinary witch Rona Blackburn landed on Anathema Island centuries ago and was shunned by the eight “original” settlers, Blackburn witches have been doomed to carry out a brief whirlwind affair with a descendant of the Original Eight. Synopsis: The Blackburn women are cursed. Genre: Young Adult, Magical Realism, Fantasy The sisters begin to wonder if Ana really is haunting them, trying to send them a message-and what exactly she’s trying to say.
But then strange things start happening around the house: mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls. Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach.
A year later, her three younger sisters, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, are still consumed by grief and haunted by their sister’s memory.
In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window.
