A Review of The Line by JD Horn

The Line is the first of the Savannah witch novels, featuring Mercy Taylor, a non-witch in a family of extremely powerful, but seriously disturbed, witches. Mercy wants to live her life, but the influence of Ginny, the Taylor matriarch, is far- reaching. Mercy' twin sister, Maisie, inherited all of the power while Mercy got none, and is referred to by some family members as "The Disappointment". Mercy has Peter, her boyfriend, but is confused by her feelings for Jackson, Maisie's fiancée. The story begins with the murder of Ginny, and subsequent scenes show crazy, backstabbing, ghost-possessed, power hungry characters who keep this story moving at quite a pace. There is no room to breathe through scene after scene of action and spooky story threads that begin to weave themselves together, but by no means are completely resolved, by the end of the story. In all, a really good UF addition. Looking forward to reading The Source!
