Bookseller recommendation
“Garnet Carrefour comes from a magical family that her mom has kept hidden from her. When a spell backfires, and Garnet begins vomiting frogs, her mom has no choice but to take her to Crossroad House, the old Carrefour home, to seek the aid of her estranged family. As Garnet becomes acquainted with the house and her family, she discovers there is not only a curse that allows the patriarch to steal the life energy from the rest of the family but there is another curse that Garnet is a part of and it is up to her to determine if she will succumb to it or break it. This was such a fun enjoyable read and I loved how each chapter began with a gemstone and its magical properties. ”
— Suzanne • Underground Books
Summary
Twelve-year-old Garnet doesn’t know her family. Her mother has done her best to keep it that way, living far from the rest of the magical Carrefour clan and their legendary mansion known as Crossroad House.
But when Garnet finally gets summoned to the estate, it isn’t quite what she hoped for. Her relatives are strange and quarrelsome, each room in Crossroad House is more dilapidated than the last, and she can’t keep straight which dusty hallways and cobwebbed corners are forbidden.
And then she learns a terrifying secret: the dying Carrefour patriarch fights to retain his life by stealing power from the others. Every household accident that isn’t an accident, every unexpected illness and unexplained disappearance grants him a little more time.
While the Carrefours squabble over who will inherit his role when (if) he dies, Garnet encounters evidence of an even deeper curse. Was she brought to Crossroad House as part of the curse … or is she meant to break it?
