"I used to be one of those girls. The kind who loved to deliver bad news. When I colored my hair, I imagined it seeping into my scalp, black dye pooling into my veins.
But that was the old Lacy. Now, when I cast spells, they are always for good."
16-year-old Lacy believes that magic and science can work side by side. She's a botanist who knows how to harness the healing power of plants. So when her father dies, Lacy tries to stay with her step-mother in Chico, where her magic is good and healing. She fears the darkness that her real mother, Cheyenne, brings out, stripping away everything that is light and kind.
Yet Cheyenne never stays away for long. Beautiful, bewitching, unstable Cheyenne who will stop at nothing, not even black magic, to keep control of her daughter's heart. She forces Lacy to accompany her to Sacramento, and before long, the "old" Lacy starts to resurface.
But when Lacy survives a traumatic encounter, she finds herself faced with a choice. Will she use her powers to exact revenge and spiral into the darkness forever? Or will she find the strength to embrace the light?

I am a writer. I am also a mother, daughter, wife, sometimes
crafter, and voracious reader. I'm outdoorsy and kind of shy. As a child, I was
kicked out of girlscouts. I love cheese and bread. I love Anthopologie and Mary
Margaret's apartment in Once Upon a Time.
I'm a sloppy dogloving person, but I admire the sleek cool of cats. My
favorite writers include Alice Hoffman, Janet Fitch, Donna Tarte, and Aimee
Bender. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were also good.

I think the only song I ever listened to on this playlist was Linkin Park's "Numb." But this book sounds great! I hope I can read it soon. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a tempting choice. It is something that we could all relate.
