The Line

Yet another Kindle First book that I adored.

Mercy Taylor comes from a family of powerful witches, but she is powerless. Her twin sister Maisie has a ton of power and is slotted to take over the line - a supernatural barrier between the world of humans and the world of demons - from their great-aunt Ginny. Mercy is viewed as the disappointment, the failure, the mistake. So she spends as much time away from the family as she can.

But when Great-Aunt Ginny is murdered, Mercy is thrust into a world that she never wanted to be in. And a huge betrayal is coming her way.

While I think that this book could have used a little bit of editing and cleaning up, I was enthralled. Mercy was the underdog that I wanted to root for and she was real. She made mistakes, trusted the wrong people, discovered betrayals deep in her family, but through it all, she never gave up hope that it would all make sense.

The end of the book was kind of sudden, but left it wide open for the second book (which I am going to watch for intently).
