Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; some pages very lightly creased near bottom inside edge; otherwise very minimal wear; Jared Martin, 17, has a full year of sobriety under his belt. But the temptation to slip is constant. And he's being stalked by his mom's violent ex, David. And his mom - a witch and a badass - can't protect him like she used to because he's moved to Vancouver for school. He figures that in order to be safe from magic, addiction, and David, he's got to get his grades up, find a job that doesn't involve selling weed cookies, and learn how to live with his estranged Aunt Mave. Though she smothers him with hugs, Mave is blind to the real dangers that lurk around them = the spirits and supernatural activity that fill her apartment. As the son of a Trickster, Jared is a magnet for magic, whether he hates it or not. He sees ghost, he sees monsters, he sees creatures - everywhere. He also still hears his father in his head. When David finally catches up with him, Jared can't ignore his true nature any longer. And neither can anyone else he loves.
