<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of the critically acclaimed Crispin Guest books comes a brand-new urban fantasy series perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and Faith Hunter.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Westerson creates an utterly believable history of witches, demons, and magic for her claustrophobic New England village including a heroine with enough spark, smarts, and stubbornness to keep both the bad guys and the deliciously dangerous love-interest on their toes." --Kat Richardson, author of the Greywalker series</b> <p/> To get a fresh start away from a bad relationship, Kylie Strange moves across the country to open a shop in a seemingly quiet town in rural Maine. During renovations on Strange Herbs & Teas, she discovers a peculiar and ancient codex, <i>The Booke of the Hidden</i>, bricked into the wall. Every small town has its legends and unusual histories, and this artifact sends Kylie right into the center of Moody Bog's biggest secret. <p/> While puzzling over the tome's oddly blank pages, Kylie gets an unexpected visitor--Erasmus Dark, an inscrutable stranger who claims to be a demon, knows she has the book, and warns her that she has opened a portal to the netherworld. Kylie brushes off this nonsense, until a series of bizarre murders put her, the newcomer, at the center. With the help of the demon and a coven of witches she befriends while dodging the handsome but sharp-eyed sheriff, Kylie hunts for a killer--that might not be human.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Subversively clever, this book sneaks up on you, teasing you to a final twist that leaves you panting for the next book.
