When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly realizes there’s more to it than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia senses a dark and powerful magic at work in her new town. Mateo has lived in Captive’s Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is cursed - and that curse will cause him to believe he’s seeing the future … until it drives him mad. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl—Nadia—from a car accident come true, he knows he’s doomed.

Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his family’s terrible curse, and to prevent a disaster that threatens the lives of everyone around them. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s new novel is sure to draw fans of the Hex Hall and Caster Chronicles series, and fans of the hit CW TV show The Secret Circle.

Oh my, I'm DYING to read this one, guys! I have a fascination of sorts with witches and anything involving witches, and this sounds so perfect and creepy! It doesn't seem like there are too many YA novels about witches, though, but if you have any recommendations for YA books about witches please tell me! And this is also compared to The Secret Circle, which I've heard awesome things about. I myself haven't started it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's from the same creators as The Vampire Diaries, which I love, so I plan on starting The Secret Circle on Netflix soon! (Though I think it was cancelled...)
