To the uninitiated, Savannah shows only her bright face and genteel manner. Those who know her well, though, can see beyond her colonial trappings and small-city charm to a world where witchcraft is respected, Hoodoo is feared, and spirits linger. Mercy Taylor is all too familiar with the supernatural side of Savannah, being a member of the most powerful family of witches in the South. Despite being powerless herself, of course. Having grown up without magic of her own, in the shadow of her talented and charismatic twin sister, Mercy has always thought herself content. But when a series of mishaps--culminating in the death of the Taylor matriarch--leaves a vacuum in the mystical underpinnings of Savannah, she finds herself thrust into a mystery that could shake her family apart...and unleash a darkness the line of Taylor witches has been keeping at bay for generations.

I loved this book. It keeps you guessing throughout and just when you know what happened it changes. I am looking forward to the next in the series.

This is the story of twins, one who is magical and the other who isn't. The story tells of how Mercy tries to fit into her family and tried not to love her sister's boyfriend and settle for her long time friend. This is also a mystery in finding out who killed her aunt who was a bit of a bitch.

For some reason I have a weakness for those with stories set in Georgia.

I think I'm being generous giving this two stars. In theory, I should love this book. It has witches, hoodoo, and it takes place in the city where I was born! But no. No no no.

Every character is a complete caricature, which I could maybe get over and enjoy in a lighthearted way, but:

1. The only character who speaks in dialect is this old black woman and the was she is written is totally racist.

2. The author forces in these plot twists that are just silly and don't even make sense.

3. “The air was as hot and moist as a dog's breath.” No. Just...no.

I won't be reading any more.
