This is not a romance book, there is romance in the book but I would not call this romance. This is a story of magic and mystery. The mystery of who killed Charlotte is the main plot. There were a lot of twists and until almost the very end I did not have any idea who the killer was. I had many ideas, went through most of the characters, but never came up with who really did it until the very end.

I loved the characters and the special magic they all seemed to have. Byrd was of course my favorite. Such a precocious child, who was so much older than her years. She seemed to know everyone and what everyone was doing or, many times, going to do. I found myself wanting to pull her close and keep her safe. She needed a mother, since her died, to keep her out of the danger that seemed to be calling for her at every turn of the page. When Bronwyn returned to her home and to Byrd I was sure that this was the roll that Bronwyn would step into.

There was a lot happening in this novel, both with the characters and the plot. This is a story that I will recommend. Suzanne Palmieri is an author that I will be on the lookout for more from.
