About this audiobook
To get a fresh start away from a bad relationship, Kylie Strange moves across the country to open a shop in a seemingly quiet town in rural Maine. During renovations on Strange Herbs Teas, she discovers a peculiar and ancient codex, The Booke of the Hidden, bricked into the wall. Every small town has its legends and unusual histories, and this artifact sends Kylie right into the center of Moody Bog's biggest secret.
While puzzling over the tome's oddly blank pages, Kylie gets an unexpected visitor-Erasmus Dark, an inscrutable stranger who claims to be a demon, knows she has the book, and warns her that she has opened a portal to the netherworld. Kylie brushes off this nonsense, until a series of bizarre murders put her, the newcomer, at the center. With the help of the demon and a coven of witches she befriends while dodging the handsome but sharp-eyed sheriff, Kylie hunts for a killer-that might not be human.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beware of things unseen!This was so not what I expected. It was a crazy, wild ride and such a departure for Westerson.(And to think she dreamt about the major elements of the story--amazing--ah the subconscious!)A new entry into the urban paranormal genre complete with a mild mannered Wiccan group, a woman escaping a bad relationship who flees from California to Maine. Was she summoned or was it all just coincidence? Right!What do you do when you break down a brick wall in your new abode and find a musty old book. You open it and summon ... things that go beyond the wildest imagination for Kylie Strange.I loved the magical cross bow.I loved the demon (not quite the daemon lover of Scottish fame) or whatever Mr. Erasmus Dark might be. The quips Kylie directs at him are hilarious.I'm not sure about Sheriff Bradbury.I loved the Wicca coven including the teenager who is a cross between Wynona Rider and Julia Stiles.Suddenly, for the coven and Kylie, fighting demons, incubus and such us becomes the norm.Then there's the coven dedicated to dark, and a different demon.And let's not forget the sector of town who once upon a time, in the past, would have happily burnt all of the above at the stake, of which one member has hereditary links to Kylie.A great start to a new series.A NetGalley ARC
