"In an effort to keep all forms of magic at bay, Jared, 17, has quit drugs and drinking. But his troubles are not over: now he's being stalked by David, his mom's ex . . . And his mother, Maggie, a . . . witch, can't protect him like she used to because he's moved away . . . Even though he's got a year of sobriety under his belt, . . . Jared also struggles with the temptation of drinking. And he's got to get his grades up, find a job . . ., and somehow live peacefully with his Aunt Mave . . . An indigenous activist and writer, Mave smothers him with pet names and hugs, but she is blind to the real dangers that lurk around them--the spirits and supernatural activity that fill her apartment. As the son of a Trickster, Jared is a magnet for magic, whether he hates it or not--he sees ghosts, he sees the monster moving underneath his Aunt Georgina's skin, he sees the creature that comes out of his bedroom wall . . . He also still hears the Trickster in his head, and other voices too. When the David situation becomes a crisis, Jared can't ignore his true nature any longer"--Provided by publisher.
