5 Reasons
to read Booke of the Hidden by Jeri Westerson:
- It's set in Moody Bog, Maine. (How great is that?) And it's full of magic...and it's funny, too!
- The Booke of the Hidden. Found bricked up in a wall, "It was at least twelve inches wide by eighteen inches tall. The cover was of ancient leather, worn at the edges. An ornate metal latch sealed the book ... I lifted the cover and opened the Booke. Tawny sheets of parchment crackled under my fingertips. It smelled musty, of old attics and forgotten memories. Eagerly, I turned the first few pages to discover its buried secrets. But no matter what page I turned to in this gigantic, ancient tome, I couldn't find a single word written in it...anywhere."
- Kylie Strange. She moved to Maine to open an herb and tea shop. What she found instead was the Booke of the Hidden. And what she loosed when she opened it....well, now it's up to her to hunt the evil down and put it back. At least she has a cool weapon to do it with: a magical Cthonic Crossbow. (It came with the book...sort of.) Too bad she doesn't know how to use it. Yet.
- Erasmus Dark. The tall, dark, handsome demon with an English accent who's tied to the Booke and who's there to help Kylie with her task. At least, that's what he says. But can she trust him? He is a demon, after all.

Doc
Boone, Nick, Seraphina, and Jolene. Moody Bog's own amateur Wiccan
coven. They're game to help Kylie any way they can. Too bad they've
never actually done any real magic. (Jolene, who's a computer savvy teenager, especially made me laugh.)
My rating: 3.5/5 stars.
Happy Reading!
