Lily Proctor, who lives in modern day Salem, has such severe allergies that she can barely be a normal teenager. When she goes to her first party, what happens there is so humiliating that she wants to disappear. During her attack, she is pulled to another version of Salem, Massachusetts. Here, witches rule and monsters have overrun the world. Lillian, the version of Lily in this world, is the terrifying, all-powerful, head witch who dragged her into this world. Where she was weak at home, she now has the power to become the most powerful of witches. As her power grows, so does her love for the man who is afraid to trust her. As Lillian's reign of terror threatens even more lives, Lily will have to defeat herself to save the world that she has grown to love. This is a strong addition to the supernatural romance genre. Having a family of allergy sufferers, I love the idea that the things that paralyze them in this world would make them powerful in another. The attraction between Lily and her mentor and mechanic Rowan is sizzlingly tense, and I like that just as we were not sure if Snape was evil or not, the reader is not sure if Lillian is as evil as she pretends to be. Although a bit bogged down with all the magic rules of this world, I still can't wait to read the next volume of this new series by the author of Starcrossed.
