Thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Delacorte Press for the copy of this book.

"There are spells for breaking and spells for mending. But there are no spells for forgetting."

I was expecting a very witchy read based on this title, but ended up getting a great mystery with a great Fall atmosphere and witchy undertones. Adrienne Young is a very talented writer and really engaged me through her descriptiveness in this story. I wanted to know what happened and kept waiting for more magic to come into play. I got a bit of whiplash at the ending, as the pacing really sped up the our slow and steady feel we had going through most of the book. In the end, a great read for Fall, but not what I expected based on the title.
