Synopsis:
Fifteen year-old Cait Weerd has no idea she’s being sought by the undain: sorcerous creatures of necromancy that feed off the spirit of the living. She doesn’t know the undain need her blood to survive. She doesn’t even know she’s a witch, descended from a long line of witches. Cait Weerd doesn’t know a lot, really, but all that’s about to change.At Manchester Central Library she’s caught up in sudden, horrific violence. In the chaos she’s handed an old book that’s been hidden there and told to run, hide the book or destroy it. It contains all the secrets of the undains’ existence. They and their human servants want to find that as much as they want Cait.
What’s more, she learns that the fate of two worlds is at stake here. Just what she needs. Along with definitely-not-a-boyfriend Danny, she has to decide what the hell to do. Run, fight or just hope it all goes away.
It’s only then she learns who she really is, along with the terrible truth of what the undain have been doing in our world all this time …

Jan’s Review
I liked that this story contained a good lesson what you put out comes back on you. So in this story if you use magic then their a cost so many time i read books where witches and wizards can just cast a spell and it cost them nothing. It was nice to know that in this story the witches or wizards really have to think about the reason behind why they want or need to use their magic. I also liked that you got to see the story from both worlds point of view and they way those characters reacted to being in our world a great story.
I’m not much into Witch and Vampire stories, but the old book that’s been thrust into Cait’s hands intrigues me. Your write-up also caught my interest, so will put the book on my “wish list”.
