Synopsis

The tree-lined streets and mystical shops of Salem, Massachusetts resonate with a seductive and brutal history. New Orleans musician Megan O’Casey has returned to the home of her ancestors to perform , with her husband Finn, in a weeklong series of concerts, culminating on All Hallow’s Eve…and to renew her connection with the past. But from the moment they arrive in Salem, Finn seems different—sensual beyond belief one moment; cold and ruthless the next. The locals—even Megan’s relatives—regard him strangely, with a distrust bordering on hatred. Megan must soon face the fact that something powerful is rising, a malevolence that may have already claimed Finn for its own… As the full moon approaches, Megan senses that she, too, is in great danger. Sinister forces seem to be bringing her closer to darkness in a centuries–old ritual that music cannot tame…and time cannot conquer…

Goodreads review by Rod on October 17, 2018

Maybe 2.5 stars. I got this audiobook from the library because it said Salem and Music. Witches and Rock n Roll. I'm good. However, 14.5 hours of this was 4 hours too long. Seriously, do some editing Woman. (another annoying quirk: I don't know if the authors name is Heather Graham or Shannon Drake.......more

Great book! The descriptions of Salem and everything that goes on brings a vivid picture of place and events. You can feel the confusion, the fear, that the characters feel. Again, at first, you don't really know the connection, but about halfway through, it comes together, and the action and climax......more

Goodreads review by Eliza on December 19, 2021

This was a reread for me, but I haven't read it for almost 10 years. I remembered the ending more than the story. The story is more of a 3.5 stars, but there's enough wrong that boosting to a 4 star isn't going to happen. I love Shannon Drake's stories and the world she created and I do like this stor......more
