Raven had always been good with dead people.
Her mother is the local coroner, and her father runs the funeral home. As a medical student, she spends most of her time alone with cadavers. Where most people might feel discomfort, Raven is at peace.
Raven's entire perception of death is suddenly upheaved when she meets her best friend's boyfriend--- a dead man. He and his arrogant older brother are looking for a necromancer, someone who might be able to break the curse on them.
When bodies start piling up in the local morgue and Raven's best friend becomes a potential target, Raven is forced to work alongside the brothers to find the necromancer behind it all. In order to succeed, she must confront her past mistakes, her family's history with witchcraft, and the very real possibility that death--- that life itself--- is not what it seems.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES meets PRACTICAL MAGIC in this paranormal romance novel, the first of a duology.
