New Orleans is teeming with warring witch clans. Their world goes unnoticed by the people of the city, unseen by the masses. Nixon was one of those people, oblivious to the battles brewing around him. That is, until his 18th birthday.
Abandoned and on his own after the deaths of his parents...he'd grown used to being alone. Now he's discovering strange powers, learning secrets about his ancestors, and falling for the wrong girl - or is she the right one? In this new world he can trust no one...even the dead tell lies. Friends are enemies, and enemies hide the truth. Who can he trust? What's real and what's illusion?

Mesmerizing and Magical
What if Harry Potter had grown up in New Orleans without coming into his magic until he turned 18? What if he found out that being the chosen one meant that all the witches came after him and not just Voldemort?
That about sums up life for Nixon.
In a crafty urban fantasy, Monique James takes the reader on a thrilling journey of discovery. Nixon discovers that ghosts, witches, murderers, and traitors lie around every corner of New Orleans. They've been there the whole time; he just never noticed. He finds himself stuck in the middle of a war he had nothing to do with. Friends, lovers, and family members seem to waver in their loyalty. He has no idea who he can trust. Can he even trust his own mind?
This is the kind of book that kept me up until 2 am reading, and I couldn't stop thinking about it throughout my day. It lingers.
I am very glad this wasn't the first novel I'd read by Monique O'Connor James.
James has a certain way of building up her paranormal treats that brings me back for more, no matter the circumstance.
The story of Nixon coming into his powers - powers he still doesn't know everything about - is intriguing and full of twists that do sometimes come out of thin air with no foreshadowing. The cover is misleading as there is nothing steam about the interaction between Nixon and Liivie.
I am very glad this wasn't the first novel I'd read by Monique O'Connor James.
There were too few commas for my liking, and that ending! I do, however, wish Mrs.
