A long-lost sister. A missing mother. And murder. Stacy Justice finds herself caught in a web of deceit, betrayal and family secrets that run deeper than the Mississippi in this follow up to Annino's debut novel, OPAL FIRE. Not only must the reluctant witch determine if the teenager on her doorstep is her sister—she's forced to confront her mother's disappearance—again. Add to that a dead guy in the kitchen and Stacy's at her witch's end. She's pretty sure the Blessed Book of her family's ancestry holds the key. Except she can't find it. And if the killer does—it may be over Stacy's dead body. Is Ivy really her sister? Where is Stacy's mother? And what does the dead guy have to do with it all? Find out in Bloodstone. Author's Note: It is highly recommended that you read the first book in the series, OPAL FIRE before reading BLOODSTONE.
