I knew in the first 3 pages that this book was gonna keep me up all night reading. And I wasn't wrong. In the first few pages we learn that Xandra is a 17 year old girl, her parents have died and are floating around the house in spirit form while her living breathing aunt Barb cares for her and her younger brother Zach. Her dad, even in ghost form, continues to educate the children with homeschooling lessons, tests and homework. Everything is fine and well even though ma and pa have departed.
Within the first 2 or 3 chapters we discover a little secret about Xandra. Her mother was a witch and her biological father is the king of the Pooka Fey, making her the prophesied Witch Fairy. A witch fairy that has no idea what magic is or how to harness her powers. Her father wants her dead, her blood will re-open the portal between the human and faerie realms allowing him and his fey brethren to return to the human realm and wreak havoc and destruction. This can't happen. enter Kallen. A very powerful Sheahogue fey, sent through the temporary portal to help Xandra overcome the threat that is at her door. With Kallen's help, Xandra learns a bit of control over her powers and is able to defeat the fey that threaten her home, sending them back through a portal only she can create. Unfortunately for her, that's only the beginning of her troubles. She is the Witch fairy of prophecy after all..
