Summary:
ANCIENT SECRETS CANNOT REMAIN BURIED FOREVER.
Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.
Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.
As we made preparations for Mom’s burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people. I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies—my ancestors—were beginning to awaken.

My Rating: 3 stars
This book was richly written, I loved the writing style and tone.
but
I'm confuse with the way the book flowed. It jumped from one plot line to the next, characters were a little hollow and Cat, well, she needs to go back to school and learn the meaning of not getting into cars with strange boys. She was all over the place, she never questions anyones story. She's suppose to be a medical student, common, where the hell did that big brain go?
The ending of this book wasn't a ending, it just ended, I don't even know if there's going to be a second book, because I was left with so many questions.
The surprise star of this book was Ace, didn't think I would like him as much as I did, because in truth he was the only one with a head on his shoulders.
This book needs more direction.
But in all, I did enjoy the original idea, the background on Cat's history and her mom. Even though she's dead, I still got to know her mom through Cat's memory.
So as you can see I'm mixed about this book. All I can say is, give it a change. You might like/love it.
Happy Reading
Olivia Wildenstein grew up in New York City, the daughter of a
French father with a great sense of humor, and a Swedish mother whom she speaks
to at least three times a day. She chose Brown University to complete her
undergraduate studies and earned a bachelor’s in comparative literature. After
designing jewelry for a few years, Wildenstein traded in her tools for a laptop
computer and a very comfortable chair. This line of work made more sense,
considering her college degree.
When she’s not writing, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, baking up a storm (that she actually eats), going to the gym (because she eats), and attempting not to be late at her children’s school (like she is 4 out of 5 mornings, on good weeks).
Wildenstein lives with her husband and three children in Geneva, Switzerland, where she’s an active member of the writing community.
