Description
Please only review if you enjoy the story. Thanks.
He’s bad news.
Full of himself, brutally honest and arrogant.
Under that gorgeous mask is something dark and twisted, and he’s claimed me as his victim.
When orphan Crystal visits a great aunt she's just met in Blacksville, West Virginia, she sets some rules for herself:
#1 - Don’t get too close to anyone.
#2 – Don’t expect too much.
#3 - Don’t fall for the town’s bad boy like everyone else.
While she finds the last one frustrating, Crystal has no intention of giving into any weaknesses. That is until she’s told there’s a curse that’s been running through her family for generations, and it seems the one she needs to avoid is the key to bringing it to an end.
Now all bets are off. Only a single line separates her from the side of magical beings, and she’s crossing it.
But she learns rules are in place for a reason. The hidden world in the seemingly small and innocent town goes far beyond the one she knows and understands.
It’s a world where humans once visited and have been warned not to return.
Ever.
◆◆◆◆◆
On the outskirts of town, creatures roam the night, waiting for the One. The birth of her child…
When orphan Crystal Valdez accepts an invitation to stay at Thorncrest Manor in the small town of Blacksville, her fate falls into the hand of a dark and sinister world of covens and witchcraft.
She is unlike anyone else, and is struggling to come to terms with her new found powers and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But within the desolate cornfields, old plantations, and decaying graveyards of the forgotten land, secrets can’t stay hidden forever.
A spell cast two centuries ago will bring her face to face with the one she can’t deny but also her biggest challenge.
He’s been bound to her since birth. Too many fates count on their every decision.
But what’s worse? The pact in place to avenge Crystal? Or giving her heart to the enemy?

I was drawn by the cover and the description...i mean who can pass a mystery mixed with paranormal and love triangle.It was a pleasant and intriguing read.
It was going a little slower for my taste in the beginning but it gradually improved as it went forward.Loved the plot but it felt that it needed to be exlored more in depth and everything would be perfect.
I can say that Craven was my favorite character in comparison with the second love interests in the triangle, which was a little boring but still a good addition.
The writing was used spot on with the description and making an atmosphere for the reader without unnecessary overwhelming.
I am definitely intrigued and will continue with the other books in the series.
ARC was graciously given to me by Netgalley.

This book is clearly the start of a much larger series, giving you lots of hints and clues throughout, but not yet building the full picture yet.
Crystal is an independent girl who has bounced around in the system after losing her only known relative (after losing her parents). With little by way of family knowledge, she is as shocked as anyone when a seemingly rich mysterious relative shows up to connect with her. Though not related by blood (and only by marriage - that's important to not get skeeved out later on), they develop an off camera relationship that lends itself to Crystal spending some time with her at her "manor." It's there that she meets a very random assortment of characters, most notably the "bad boy" Cray.
Crystal has clearly got some baggage and it's only made worse by her new family, some crazy overbearing actions, mysteries, nightmares, creepy attics, ghosts, and a crush on Cray. Oh, and there's a random kid in the woods that she also might crush on when she's not being pulled by the weirdness and bizarre behavior that makes up Cray. Characters keep popping up all over the place in this seemingly small town, and I can tell that we are building to something... but we don't get there. Should I be rooting for Crystal to discover more about her family? Should I be rooting for her friend to hook up with the aggressively mean housemate? I was utterly conflicted and found it hard to get on a team to pull me through this book. I hope that there are better and more concrete things for Crystal in the future.

The story is about a young girl Crystal who has grown up in a group home after her parents died at a young age. She then is found by a mysterious and rich Aunt because she had her photo in the paper, She ends up moving to the town and odd things start to happen to her and she discovers a shocking secret about her heritage.
At times the book feels a bit hard going and the has a few confusing moments, but on the whole I enjoyed it!
I like a conclusion to my books this is obviously an ongoing story i will look out for future books.
I had a copy of this book from netgalley.co.uk for an honest review.
