Back Cover of the Actual Book: There's more than one way to be powerful . . . It is during a routine school project that Abby Silva--sixteen and nearly friendless--makes a startling discovery: She is descended from women who were accused of witchcraft back in 1600s Salem. And when Abby visits nearby Salem, strange, inexplicable events start to unfold. Objects move when she wills them to. Candles burst into sudden flame. And an ancient spellbook somehow winds up in her possession. Trying to harness her newfound power, Abby concocts a love potion to win over her longtime crush--and exact revenge upon his cruel, bullying girlfriend. But old magic is not to be trifled with. Soon, Abby is thrust headlong into a world of hexes, secrets, and danger. And then there's Rem Anders, the beautiful, mysterious Salem boy who seems to know more about Abby than he first lets on. A reckoning is coming, and Abby will have to make sense of her history--and her heart--before she can face the powerful truth.
Abby is invisible in her world, both at school and even at home. When her history teacher gives out an assignment to get extra credit by doing your family tree. This leads to going to Salem. It then brings her to using magic, and the age-old saying is careful what you wish for. Abby is a brilliant character that is a very straight arrow who learns how to let her hair down, literally. Rem is a mystery that you can't wait to uncover. The side stories only enrich this tale more. I really enjoyed reading this book. It's one of those books that I will definitely read again.
