Fay Harper is like any other most popular girls at school- or at least that's how she appears. But she is really a 300 hundred year old witch that stays young by taking over the bodies young girls. Fay's power has been running low so she targets Deke, a psychic (though he doesn't know it), by acting like his girlfriend until she can take his power. She also goes after Monica, the new girl in school who is getting pretty friendly with Deke. Deke's dad notices something is wrong and calls in his old friend Diana Tregarde. It's up to Diana to protect Deke and Monica, take down Fay, and prevent an ancient power from waking up and destroying Tulsa.

Opinion: 

At first I thought the book was really slow-moving and not getting anywhere. It took a while for Fay to be discovered for what she was even though it was pretty obvious to the reader. But once I was about halfway through it was hard to put down. I really liked how the story built on itself and had a lot of small plots that connected at the end. Mercedes Lackey does a great job of connecting the reader to the characters emotions because I really understood how they were feeling.
