I have to admit: the premise of the book, even before I started to read, was amazing. I don't exactly know why I loved the concept of this novel, but I did. Every page had me dying to read more. In fact, I couldn't put the book down; I read almost all of it in one sitting. It was so late at night (close to 2am), that delirious-me could barely fight to stay awake. The story is unique, Sam's character is interesting, and the entire backdrop of an old town haunted by a dark past and dark magic was fascinating. It was one of those stories that had me constantly wondering "What is Sam going to do next?”
