As a fan of history and most YA books with a bit of romance this book was the perfect fit for me. Set in modern day Salem, Sam Mather moves into her grandmothers home after leaving New York. Her father is gravely ill and is in a coma. A new house. A new school. And new friends to make. Except not everything comes easily to Sam. She is uptight and scared and seems to have a cursed life. Problem is that she doesn’t know how to shake it and will have to try and change the course of history with the help of witchcraft, ghosts and secret compartments. I also love the fact that this book made me do my own research into the Salem witch trials (which I had previously read about when performing The Crucible when at university) and gave the whole trial in a different light. It was heart stopping and I held my breath many times... and even had to read it with all of the lights on! This books is truly atmospheric and tense and heart breaking and satisfying in so many different ways. If you are a fan of the paranormal, witchcraft, the unexplained, romance and lots of haunting atmosphere - this is the book for you.
