In modern-day Manhattan where we lay our scene, two rival witch families fight to maintain control of their respective criminal empires.

On one side of the conflict are the Antonova sisters — each one beautiful, cunning, and ruthless — and their mother, the elusive supplier of premium intoxicants, known only as Baba Yaga. On the other side, the influential Fedorov brothers serve their father, the crime boss known as Koschei the Deathless, whose ventures dominate the shadows of magical Manhattan.

After twelve years of tenuous co-existence, one family member brutally crosses the line. Bad blood reignites old grudges; at the same time, fate intervenes with a chance encounter between enemies. In the wake of love and vengeance, everyone must choose a side. As each of the siblings struggles to stake their claim, bloodshed in inevitable.

The question is: Whose?

Who can possibly resist the familiar pull of a Romeo and Juliet spinoff? While this rendition contains a bit more sarcasm than what I remember Shakespeare employing (and he was notorious for his clever wit and dirty jokes), I enjoyed the commentary that Olivie provided on generational cycles. A classic foreboding tale of what may come if we believe ourselves to be casualties of fate; or more specifically, our predecessors choices. This reading was quite easy and had a nice flow - a good option to help you get out of a pesky slump if you happen to find yourself in one.

A good modern fantasy take on the typical Romeo and Juliette story, the plot does seem to go a bit slowly at times, but overall I liked it
