Tatum Alexander has spent her life resisting the Sight she inherited from her mother, Amarina, an artist whose notorious past links her to a murder. When Tatum’s best friend is killed in circumstances echoing that crime, spirits crowd in with a warning that the murderer may target her next. The investigation ties together Tatum’s emerging ability, her mother’s concealed history, and a circle of witches and loved ones in Manhattan. Occult horror and a murder mystery meet in a story shaped by inheritance, grief, and the cost of confronting a family secret.

Book overview

After fearing it all her life, a young woman embraces her ability to see ghosts after a murder occurs that appears dangerously linked to her past.

To Tatum Alexander, the Sight--her ability to see spirits--has always been more of an affliction than a gift. Having inherited the power from her mother, Amarina, an infamous artist known for murdering her lover and using his blood for her final painting, Tatum has been reluctant to step into her talent or even get close to the man she loves.

She's been able to find a safe space to hide her Sight with the largest witch coven in Manhattan and her best friend, Mischa. But when Mischa is murdered, the act eerily connected to Amarina's own crime, a traumatized Tatum must reckon with both the loss and the sudden surge of spirits vying for her attention and her life.

The spirits have a message: the murderer is coming for her next and a price must be paid. To learn the truth of her past and catch the killer she'll have to rely on her loved ones' helping hands--some witchy friends, the man who won't let her go, and her eternally perplexing mother--in order to embrace her Sight while keeping them all safe.

The clues will lead Tatum to a dangerous secret that Amarina has spent decades trying to keep. And when the secret is out, Tatum will be forced to risk it all.
