Kindling the Moon is another in the countless urban fantasies flooding booksellers thanks to the success of YA of the same genre. In this particular novel, the reader is introduced to Arcadia Bell, a magician (because no self-respecting practitioner would ever call herself a witch, she says) with rare abilities thanks to a spell cast by her parents at her conception. When Arcadia is a teenager her parents are labeled as serial killers, splitting the family and sending everyone into hiding. And eight years later the grave dust is kicked up again.
Kindling the Moon is not a fantastic book, and is certainly not the best of the genre I've read this year. However, it was a comforting read for one with a great interest in the genre, and it beat the hell out of some of the horrible fantasy/romance crossovers I've read in recent months.
