15-year-old Julie Richardson is about to learn that being the daughter of a witch isn't all it's cracked up to be.
When she and her best friend and uber-geek, Marcus, witness an elderly lady jettisoned out the front door of her home, it's pretty obvious to Julie there's a supernatural connection. The house is occupied by a poltergeist and in order to reclaim it, Julie's going to have to exorcise the spirit. Of course, she'll need her mother's help and what teenager in their right mind wants that? Surely she can do this on her own - right...?

But there's a whisper of menace behind increasing levels of poltergeist activity all over town. After a large-scale
paranormal assault on Julie's high school, her mother falls victim to Endless Night - a dark spell that rips her mom's
soul from her mortal body. Now it's a race against time to find out who is responsible or Julie won't just lose her
mother's soul, she'll lose her mother's life.

      An eager teen witch discovers the supernatural world is more dangerous than she ever imagined. Fifteen-year-old Julie and her best friend Marcus aren't the most popular kids at their Calgary, Alberta, high school. He's a skinny brainiac, and she's a witch (though, of course, only Marcus knows that). When an elderly neighbor is sent flying out her front door by a poltergeist, Julie's ready to investigate, but her overprotective mother (also a witch) urges caution. The attacks continue, and suddenly Julie's mother is incapacitated. With the help of skeptical Marcus and an immortal spirit who claims to be her "tutelary," Julie must use her powers to delve into her family's past and find the ancient spirit she's sure is responsible for her mother's condition and the increasingly violent supernatural incidents around town. Canadian author Cummings' first for teens features some fizzy magic and an interesting supernatural world, but discerning readers will likely find the characters shallow and their motivations simplistic. Worldbuilding is problematic as well: If witches have always existed, it strains credulity that devastation of the magnitude described could be explained away over the centuries. A sequel is all but guaranteed; perhaps it will be an improvement. Passable escapist reading for witchcraft fans in search of something light. (Urban fantasy. 12-16)
