Sokoloff creates a fantastic balance between reality and the supernatural in Book of Shadows. Part detective story and part supernatural, the narrative is a slippery slope of magic, murder, and trust. How far can a detective seeped in a culture of 'just-the-facts' step outside his comfort zone to believe in the occult? Can he trust this strange woman luring him farther and farther into a world of darkness and mystery? Can he afford not to trust her considering the stakes? Sokoloff's work is a compelling, chilling tale.
