The Graces by Laure Eve. Amulet Books (Abrams), 2016. Young Adult. Fiction.When River Page begins high school in a new town, she meets the intriguing Grace teens. Rumors abound about the wealthy, rather distant, beautiful twins Fenrin and Thalia and their younger sister Summer. Are they really witches? When someone disappears, they all need all the magic they can get!
The book is filled with typical teen angst and the quest to make friends and to fit in with others. River hints at her own "otherness", but it's sometimes hard to tell what's real and what's just in her head. At times, the story is a little like We Were Liars (beautiful, rich kids with another teen who wants to be part of their family) with some magic woven through it. Eve does weave a powerful tale that teens who like witchy and vampirey topics will find appealing.
