Nola and her mother are witches - that's why they have to keep on the move every time someone starts to suspect. Unfortunately, as she gets older, her mother starts to lose her grip on reality and puts both of them at even more risk. Everything changes the night that Nola accidentally witnesses a murder while using magic - but worse, there's a chance that the murderer might implicate them if he realizes their secret. So Nola sets out in an attempt to cover their tracks and ends up even deeper. Now she has to get herself free from the tangled web without anyone realizing that she's a witch or she and her mother will both suffer.
This was an interesting story and it's a fairly quick read; the end seemed a bit contrived to me, but otherwise, it was all believable. I liked the characters and they definitely kept the plot from becoming too convoluted despite the layers of complications. I would recommend this book to fantasy readers who like a little edge of mystery or a relatively short book that isn't too fluffy.
- If this book sounds interesting, consider these: Howl's Moving Castle, Cecilia and Kate, Black Pearls, or The Immortals series
