"It's dark magic brings him back." Tori Burns and her family left D.C. for claustrophobic Chaptico, Maryland, after suddenly inheriting a house under mysterious circumstances. That inheritance puts her at odds with the entire town, especially Jesse Slaughter and his familyit's their generations-old land the Burns have "stolen." As the suspicious looks and muttered accusations of her neighbors build, so does the pressure inside her, and Tori returns to the pattern of self-harm that landed her in a hospital back in D.C. It all comes to a head one night when, to Tori's shock, she witnesses a young man claw his way out of a grave under the gnarled oak in her new backyard. Nathaniel Bishop may not understand what brought him back, but it's clear to Tori that he hates the Slaughters for what they did to him centuries ago. Wary yet drawn to him by a shared sense of loss, she gives him shelter. But in the wake of his arrival comes a string of troubling eventsincluding the disappearance of Jesse Slaughter's cousinthat seem to point back to Nathaniel. As Tori digs for the truthand slowly begins to fall for Nathanielshe uncovers something much darker in the tangled branches of the Slaughter family tree. In order to break the curse that binds Nathaniel there and discover the true nature of her inheritance, Tori must unravel the Slaughter family's oldest and most guarded secrets. But the Slaughters want to keep them buried... at any cost.

If you are triggered by self-harm, do not read this book or proceed with caution. This is a very good, well-researched supernatural-ish YA thriller. I found myself vested in the characters and what happened in both the past and present but some parts felt rushed and incomplete -specifically the end- but I like her writing and her books are kind of their own genre which is cool. Not the best book but I do recommend. NetGalley ARC read very late

I liked this story well enough and it was a quick read. The paranormal elements were like the backbone of the story and I loved the way it was written. Tori as a character is complex and troubled and self-hatms to deal with her anxietyand such so that's a trigger warning for that. The mystery was well done and wasn't resolved until the very end with a twist that I didn't see coming.

Ok, so not only do I get to meet this fabulous author on thursday, but today I started this beauty. And finished it. Because honestly? I couldn't stop reading it.

But anyway... witches and curses and spells and crazy vivid dreams and flashbacks, this story had it all.

I loved the history and the mystery, and i couldn't actually figure out the ending. I kept guessing and trying to figure it out and i couldn't.

(PS: I SHIP IT SO HARD!!)
