Ok, first, a slight confession. I've been comparing these books to the Twilight Saga. I have a good reason though. I find a lot of parallels between the two.
This is the second book of the Caster Chronicles. Lena is struggling with her identity after the disastrous night of her sixteenth birthday. Her uncle is dead, and she blames herself. Her eyes are becoming increasingly golden, a mark of a Dark Caster. She's pushing Ethan away and hanging with a boy named John Breed. A boy who seems to be an Incubus, but with the green eyes of a Light Caster.
The parallel of this book to New Moon is that the supernatural character in the relationship separates because they think that it is unsafe for the Mortal to be around them. But, unlike Twilight, where the Mortal sits and mopes for months, Ethan goes out and does something about it.
What this results in is a quest through the secret underground Caster Tunnels. Ethan, Link, and Liv (Marian's summer intern) attempt to find Lena while Ethan tries to figure out his destiny as a Wayward, a living compass for someone in the Caster world (Lena).
There is something magical about these books when I read them. I have a hard time putting them down.
