A cautionary tale for us all.
I found this a very interesting tale. It highlights the growth of college students. It is also a cautionary tale about needing with things we don't understand. Ms. Black has shown us that a good tale can be a good read. I think that I would encourage anyone interested in exploring the paranormal to read this first.

In Secret of Seasons we meet a young girl named Casey who, at first glance, seems to have it all due to her enrollment at a nice college and blossoming social life. What we later discover is that her home life is full of responsibilities most of us didn't have to worry about when we were that age. Her dad is always working and her mom is not healthy, leaving it up to Casey to take care of her mother and her younger brother. So it makes sense that she might end up in a social situation to escape that lifestyle that would end up leading her to a secret ceremony that ultimately releases a mysterious force that will forever alter her life and everyone around her.
This is considered along the lines of YA paranormal mystery horror. It was a fun read and I read it in two sittings - I just got so drawn into Casey's life and had to find out what was going to happen. The relationship that Black build between Casey and her brother gave me all the feels and I just wanted to hug them both! She is able to craft a college-set story in a way that actually even made me miss it a little...? I know, right? Who wants to go back?! But in this situation I found myself doing a lot of the same things that Casey would do - and for me, believability is key sometimes in laying the groundwork for a story.
The cover of the book says this is Esoteric Equinox Book 1 so I can only hope that there will be more to come! 3.5 rounded up to 4 for Goodreads!
