Book Description:
For fifteen years, Reason Cansino has lived a life on the run. Together with her mother, Sarafina, she has moved from one place to another in the Australian countryside, desperate not to be found by Reason's grandmother Esmeralda, a dangerous woman who believes in magic. But when Sarafina suffers a breakdown, Reason is forced to move in with her grandmother in Sydney. The moment Reason walks through Esmeralda's back door and finds herself on a New York City street, she's confronted by an unavoidable truth-magic is real.
This thrilling novel will bring readers through revelation upon revelation, leading to Reason's ultimate discovery of the price she must pay if she uses her magic.

This was a fascinating rendition of a traditional idea (walking through a door in one world to arrive in another). I loved the contrast between Sydney Australia in the summer and New York City USA in the winter. I also really enjoyed learning some new Australian slang words, which are defined in a glossary in the back of the book for us dumb Americans.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me waiting on my toes. The characters were likable and I really liked the story. It gave a new look at magic as a dangerous thing. The story was full of adventure and kept you in the dark about some things as much as the characters.
