ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIMEThere are the witches of the Quarter, and then there is the unwanted magical bloodline. The family so secret, even its youngest members are unaware. That would be mine.“Magick runs in your bloodstream.” Grandma always told us we came from a powerful bloodline. A bloodline derived from one of the strongest witches in New Orleans past.Mom disagrees. Had us believing it was … Orleans past.
Mom disagrees. Had us believing it was nothing but lies.
Wanting to get us away from grandma and her fanciful ideas, Mom moves us in with her boyfriend. Sticks us in the French Quarter. A place where my family isn’t welcome.
My new status quo: life in shambles.
Everything is changing. Mom is always working to pay the new, higher bills, my sister is experimenting with magick, and my brother, I think, maybe drugs. Forced to start at a new school and attempt to make new friends, I’m now having nightmares, seeing ghosts, getting teased as a witch, and preyed on by vampires. Plus, there’s the creepy, stalker ancestor in my head.
But to all my crazy, there’s a silver lining. I’m seeing a new, amazing guy, named Phillip… if Mom’s overbearing boyfriend doesn’t chase him away. Phillip doesn’t know about the supernatural world crashing in around me and I’d like to keep it that way. He is the calm to my chaos.
And my mom’s boyfriend, just may be the triggering cause of my surrounding storm.
How do I straighten out my family and uncover my own personal truth, when the devil in the works might possibly be sleeping under the same roof?
This fast-paced, action-packed, young adult, paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magickal bloodline family is ideal for fans of The Bane Chronicles and The Originals.

Certainly a great start to this series. I wanted to read the next book right away (although unfortunately I couldn’t due to my schedule). Has some nice twists. I highly recommend!

I loved this book, from the moment that I started reading it, I was hooked and could not put it down. It moves along at a great pace, has interesting and unique characters that you want to know more about. No matter what happens you want to see them overcome everything in there way. The story will grab you and not let you go until the end, and then you cannot wait to read the next to find out what happens. This is a must read, no doubt about.
A great introduction to the series. Miri, her younger sister Belle and big brother Michael live with their mum at their grandmother’s home outside the French Quarter in New Orleans. Raised hearing stories of their supposed magickal bloodline from grandma, Miri sides more with their mother that it’s more myth than reality. Everything in her world changes in an instant when their mother informs grandma they’re moving out that night to live with her boyfriend Caleb. For some bizarre notion, her mother suddenly believes he’ll be a great father figure and they’ll become a strong family unit. Where her mother got this notion suddenly she’s no clue. Caleb barely knows them, yet suddenly he’s made their mother believe they’re meant to be a strong family unit? Miri has no memory of her father or why he’s never been in her life, but she doesn’t need Caleb to fill this void. After hearing her entire life of how unsafe the Quarter is for her family from grandma, the last thing she needs is to live in the heart of the Quarter with a moment’s notice. Ripped from her school and friends, and the comfort of her grandmother all to live with this stranger? Things get decidedly worse when her brother finds out. She notices odd people watching them, and very odd things start to happen. None of her siblings trust Caleb, and her mother just seems off. Slowly Miri takes the blinders off. Learning more about her family history, and what’s really going on. It looks like she and her siblings will have to grow up far sooner than expected. Who can she trust? What’s really going on? It seems secrets have surrounded her for years without her even knowing. Can her heart survive the betrayal to come? Will she rise from the ashes of her life and soar like she’s meant to? I love how fiercely loyal she is to those she loves. Miri has a warriors heart, and I think those who cause harm to anyone she loves, or innocents had best be fearful. I look forward to seeing what’s next for this amazing young woman.
I loved this book. Got sucked in from the beginning. Enjoyed going on the journey of discovery with Miri so far, looking forward to seeing what’s next for this magical family.
Wow wow wow I was so incredibly lucky to get an ARC of this book and it blew me away. I’m so hooked on Miri and her family. This story flowed well and didn’t have lag, it was intense and I found myself hating when I had to pull away and life because I was so drawn into New Orleans. The story had me guessing what things were or why they were happening. I can’t wait to dive into this family deeper and see where it all settles.
Enjoyed reading this and getting to know a little about Miri, her family and their magical history. It is intense at times and a bit more graphic than I was expecting for a sixteen year to be dealing. Miri is naive yet bold and brave (sometimes) hopefully she will get more knowledge in future books. I’m thinking there’s a thin line between the good side and the evil side when it comes to magical area she is surrounded by and caught up in. Her mom and brother come across as loving but a bit odd but Phillip is definitely Miri’s knight in shining armor. Looking forward to more magical revelations in the next book.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had everything you could possibly want all in one: action and adventure, romance and the supernatural. A family of witches and dark secrets all make for this to be an interesting read. This book is about a girl named Miri whose struggling in life trying to find a place to fit in and belong in every aspect of her life. Miri who comes from a long line of witches is having a difficult time coming into her power and adjusting to a new life. Miri’s mother Edith a devoted and over protective mother trying to always do the right thing for her kids threatens their relationships with her less than perfect boyfriend Caleb. Miri’s Grandmother the heart and soul of the family strongly believing in her faith/magic. Michael Miri’s older brother strong and supportive as a big brother always should be. Belle, Miri’s younger sister a nice addition to round out the family dynamic. Showing a family’s love for one another can do anything and that keeping secrets can hurt more than help.

Wonderful fast paced rollercoaster ride. I love the character development and dynamics of the family. Great world development that sets up an amazing start to the series. I will definitely be continuing the series to see what happens with Miri and her families journey.

I enjoyed this story. No place better than New Orleans for the setting. Miri’s character is playful and thrilling with a good character development. The storyline itself was fun, real and magical!
I look forward to reading more of this series!

Miri, her sister Belle, her brother Michael and their Mom live with their grandmother close to the quarter in Louisiana. Her grandmother always hinted at things like witches, powers, stay away from the quarter and bloodlines. They never questioned her about them, but their mother was furious about these things and they often argued. One day the mother came home and moved all of them out into the quarter with her new boyfriend Caleb. He always acted strange around them…they could not piece it together. What they discover instead only shocks Miri~ Weird things start happening…vampires? Ghosts? Hearing voices of an ancestor? Magic? She also meets a boy named Phillip who seems to know about things but never really talks about them. Things become even more twisted as she discovers the full truths about her family~ Now, she is going to take things in hand and help save all of them from those out to destroy them~ Still so many unanswered questions, so much to learn, and very little time to do it in…what will occur? This was a fast-paced action-packed book~ I LOVE this new series and Kristi has brought to life a new series I GUARANTEE you will NOT want to miss~ I received this as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
