Shipped off to boarding school, contemporary teen Katy discovers she's descended from powerful witches. While dealing with her dead mother's complicated heritage, Katy uses her newfound powers to fight the Darkness threatening the townspeople (including her love interest). The characters and relationships could have benefited from further fleshing out, but it's still an appealing paranormal romance.
