Description: Kerry is having the best summer of her life, living and working with a wonderful group of very different college students. But then she finds an unconscious, bleeding man beneath the bushes in front of the group house, and everything changes. Daniel Blessing is a witch, and he's alternately hunting and being hunted by a very powerful evil witch named Season. And because Kerry and her friends sheltered Daniel, they're now at risk too. Neither Kerry nor her housemates believe in witches and magic, but they're forced into reluctant acceptence when they see magic with their own eyes. Kerry feels drawn to Daniel as she's never been drawn to anyone before, and she finds that she doesn't particularly mind that she's now on the run from the world's most powerful evil witch, so long as Daniel is there with her. Daniel has been chasing Season for centuries, and he won't stop until one of them is dead. Kerry and her friends must put aside their differences and leave behind the lives they've always known if they want to survive the summer.
Review: I thought that the premise of this book was interesting, but the promise it showed quickly dissipated in the face of an overly simplistic plot and boring, whiny characters. The blending of magic and real life is not believable. Daniel, the only character that I felt had any real depth, let me down in the end by making stupid and out-of-character mistakes. The ending is unexpectedly abrupt and doesn't provide any sort of closure. I have very little desire to read the next installment in the quartet, but I might pick it up sometime when I'm bored and out of other things to read. If you want to read something similar, only better executed, try the Sweep series.
