    About this ebook

    Unknown to the humans who hanged innocent people at the Salem Witch Trials, real witches of the hidden race were slaughtered on the belief that they had betrayed the hiddens to the humans. Not one witch survived the genocide, or so it was believed for more than three hundred years. Until one day a girl named Aradia moves to Salem, Massachusetts, and all that changes.

      This young adult novel is about your average high school student who really isn't so average.Aradia is the "new kid" at Salem (Massachusetts) High School. She can't help but notice that a larger-than-normal portion of the students are either incredibly handsome or incredibly beautiful. Those same people are openly staring at Aradia, and not just because of her flaming red hair.As time goes on, Aradia learns that the school is home to a large number of beings that go under the general name of "hidden." They include werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, faeries, etc.; the hidden part comes from their greatest law, which is to never, ever reveal anything of their existence to humans. The interest in Aradia is because she has "abilities" of her own. The non-humans at school have never seen, or smelled, anyone like her. Aradia doesn't know what she is, only that she was found in a cave, as a newborn, and officially adopted by Ross and Liza Preston.The town of Salem is being menaced by the Vampire Murderer. A pair of bodies are found, with puncture marks on their necks, and totally drained of blood. Aradia is assured that the chances of a vampire being the culprit are tiny; someone is trying very hard to frame them. Aradia takes matters into her own hands, and attracts the attention of the real culprit. Does Aradia help bring the murderer to justice?This one is surprisingly good. The plot may be a little average, but the author does a fine job with it. Teens will enjoy this book; adults will also enjoy it.

      It is very clear that the TWILIGHT series influenced the author when she wrote this story. However, there are some important differences. One of the main differences is the character, Aradia, who I felt was much stronger than Twilight's main character, Bella. Aradia fights off werewolves, helps solve mysteries, and creates homeopathic cures for friends and strangers, even those who are mean to her. The result of Aradia's strong and loving personality is that she earns herself a group of friends who would be willing to die for her. I love this character, and I am looking forward to reading more about her!

      From Can I just say that it's a good thing I'm not responsible for labeling books. What is this? Lots of things, Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Paranormal Mystery, and a little humor thrown into the mix.Aradia has a wicked, off-beat sense of humor. In the book, she would occasionally deliver a zinger and everyone around her would just stand there. More than once she had to explain the joke, and more than once the joke fell flat. It was great! :)The werewolves are strong and responsible. The vampires are an old and patient people. Lots of the Hidden race in the high-school. I don't get the vampires going to school. Seriously? Why not just say you are homeschooling? Of course the vampires are all beautiful people, and high school is far easier if you are a pretty person. God someone needs to write a book about a dorky, vampire reject. lolFast paced story, and is so well written that there are few who will be disappointed. Ok, you want to know how good this book was? My husband got home after being gone and I was disappointed he showed up because I was so close to being finished. lolIt's also very affordable, only 99¢ for the Kindle. Give it to your teen, read it for yourself.

      I loved the beginning of the book when Aradia appeared to such a sweet couple. The first part of the book was enchanting. As the story line grew and expanded, it took off in many directions and I found keeping the characters straight a little tiresome. I feel this was due to the grammatical errors, having to figure out what the word was, and then having to re-read the sentence.The book also contained too many grammar and punctuation errors that were easily found and corrected. Keeping in mind that the book was YA, I think young females will enjoy the adventure and personality of a kick-ass girl like Aradia. We would have loved to have her talents when we were young. The book does have potential. I am not rating the book because I am finding that YA is not my favorite genre and I would be biased if I did so.
