Renna Porter seems to be followed around by strange occurrences ever since she was the sole survivor of a house fire that killed her immediate family when she was young. Now, Renna lives in an amazing foster home with three dads and an amazing group of siblings. Then, a person named Job shows up. Job explains that he trained under Renna's grandmother, Mab who was a powerful witch. Mab died trying to fight off the demon that is actively hunting Renna. Job wants to take Renna to a safe haven and train her as a witch. Renna agrees as she and Job set out on a strange journey where Renna learns about her power, her family and unlocks her past.

Renna's Crossing is a coming of age story mixed with witchcraft and mystery. The characters were all wonderfully developed. From the beginning, I was thoroughly intrigued by Renna, all of her foster siblings, the three dads and the entire Inglenook home. I do wish more of the story could have taken place here. I also loved that there were diverse characters without it being too in your face. Most of the plot of the story centered around Job trying to get Renna to a place called the Rectory, where they believe she would be safe. However, there are many many unforeseen obstacles along the way. In the journey there were some pacing issues, where there was a lot of focus and time spent on little mundane things and large events happened rather quickly. Although, there was a lot of growth for both Job and Renna at the time and I did like that the focus was on their student and teacher relationship and not a romance. The ending was exciting and I hope it leads to a sequel.
