Summary |
When sixteen-year-old witch Matilda grows closer to Oliver bizarre things begin to happen in their town, but as she faces blame for these strange occurances, Matilda sets out to discover the true culprit before anyone else turns up dead. |
|
Matilda isn't interested in being a good witch. She wants revenge and popularity, and to live her life free of consequences, free of the scars that dark magic leaves on her face as a reminder of her misdeeds. When a spell goes awry and the new boy at school catches her in the act, Oliver isn't afraid-- he already knows about her magic, and he wants to learn more. As they grow closer, bizarre things begin to happen: Animals show up with their throats slashed and odd markings carved into their bodies, a young girl dies mysteriously, and everyone blames Matilda. But she isn't responsible... at least, not that she can remember. As her magic spins out of control, Matilda must discover the truth... before anyone else turns up dead. -- adapted from jacket |
