I really enjoyed this book.

Its a really unique urban fantasy/mystery book. The main character, who goes by the name Bast, is a graphic designer in New York whose friend is found dead. Bast (and her now-dead friend) are witches. But unlike most urban fantasy books, these witches are just like real life witches! As in, Bast practices actual Wicca and spells and charms and things are the same in the book as they are in real life. It was a really interesting approach to take. Also, the author clearly has some insider knowledge of the Pagan community in the US, because the factions of Pagans (and associated in-fighting) and the groups and types of people that Bast meets as she tries to find out what happened to her friend are all spot on.

Great mystery!
