Sixteen year old Emsy is living happily in California alongside her friends and girlfriend when an “incident” in New York throws her world upside down. Her childhood friend Ben has just lost his parents in an unnatural act of magic and Emsy’s parents decide they must return to their home state to be with the coven that they left years ago. While Emsy is angry to have been uprooted, she is soon practicing her magic as a fire elemental and finds herself deeply embedded in the mystery of what happened to Ben’s parents. Together with her new friends, Emsy embarks on a mission to protect the coven and hopefully, get her life back.
While I am not normally drawn to either graphic novels or YA, a first look at this book had me drawn in. The illustrations are fantastic, with just the right amount of action on each page to keep it from being too busy and confusing. The story is engaging from the start with many unique characters. It features beautiful colors and a plotline that kept me guessing until the end.
