This is a fiction novel, nothing like Twilight or Harry Potter. It is a young adult novel, however I have read many of Christopher Pike's works and have always enjoyed him as an author. His writing is that it draws you in and you feel you are watching the story as your read each page of action, drama etc. I could not put this book down, so ready for the 2nd one coming out Dec 4th called Black Knight. No there are not any references to Paganism, Wicca etc, just the A typical concept of witches. Like I said it is a fiction novel. I highly recommend you read it, or if you are not into fiction, maybe your kids are. I know I am going to have my 13 year old read it, she will love it too. Enjoy
