Blurb/Synopsis:
‘This reminds me of how broken I am, every single day when I wake up and see it in the mirror. It’s a scar that will never go away.’
East Greenwich may be a small town, but it is riddled with secrets. Mercy knows this more than most – she still suffers from the scars. The trauma from the ultimate betrayal has caused her to keep her distance from everyone she holds dear. A stranger who lingers in her subconscious seems to be the exception to the rule. His comfort is a refreshing distraction from her tormented fears.
‘I won’t lose you again.’
Unbeknownst to her; the past is weaving its dark web, waiting to strike. Upon a startling car accident, Mercy is shocked to find that her enigmatic mystery man, Caleb, is real – and she belongs to him. He reveals that Mercy’s family is strongly linked to an ancient coven; the roots slowly dragging her back to Salem again.
There may be a spark between Mercy and Caleb, but she is torn between wanting to kiss him – and running from him. Evil forces are awakening, growing bloodthirsty as the days and nights pass. Mercy must Awaken the dormant powers inside her, tackle the lies, betrayal, and blood-drenched past lives rotating around her in never-ending cycles. Can she bear the burden? Will she find it in herself to trust Caleb despite the shadowy past?
To slay a monster; you might need to become a monster.

This is my first time reading D.L. Blade and I will be honest it has been a while since I read YA - New Adult as well probably longer since I read Paranormal Urban Fantasy. With that said I really enjoyed this title it reminded me why I fell in Love with the Paranormal Urban Fantasy Genre all those years ago.
The first couple of chapters where a little slow but very well written still. She laid the ground work for her amazing characters and setting. It was very descriptive and informative just not as much action so I think that is why I struggled at first but man when the story kicked in it was one heck of a ride. Once the story itself took off I found my self not wanting to put it down. I can't wait to read the second installment this was a great beginning to what is going to become a Great Urban Fantasy Series.
She always loved writing, concentrating on poetry rather than prose when she was younger. That changed however, when she had a dream one night and decided to create a story about it.
In her spare time, D.L. enjoys a wide variety of hobbies, including reading, attending rock concerts and volunteering at local animal shelters where she can indulge in her passion for all forms of life.
In the future, D.L. hopes that she can continue to write exciting novels that will captivate her readers and bring them into the worlds that she creates using her imagination.
