A fairly entertaining contemporary fantasy about magic books which are created with the blood of special people. The characters were good and enjoyable to follow, and it did a nice job of playing out it's mysteries as the story went along, but once I got to the end, the plot felt very linear to me. Part of this was set in Vermont and it captured the local atmosphere well with only one immersion breaking detail. I give that part a solid B+.
