Ethan can’t wait to finish high school and move out the small Southern town of Gatlin, where he grew up, where nothing ever changes. But the new school year brings a new face to his high school – a face he has seen over and over again in his ever-more agitating dreams. Lena - beautiful, unusual, unnerving – will never fit in, especially as she’s the niece of the town’s infamous recluse, Macon Ravenswood. Ethan can’t help but be drawn to Lena and is soon drawn into a drama that has been going on for generations. It’s a lush, extravagant, vivid gothic drama, full of magic, mystery, and mayhem, played out in southern plantations, crumbling graveyards, and overlooked sprawling gardens. I tumbled headlong into this all-consuming, unusual plot and simply got lost - fell in love – am still thinking about cursed lockets, hidden secrets, powers unleashed, and even a little voodoo. Absolutely one of my favorites this year.

I've just started this (was a little worried about the SIZE of the book) and am loving it!
