Summary

Hannah Walsh just wants a normal life. It’s her senior year, so she should be focusing on classes, hanging out with her best friend, and flirting with her new girlfriend, Morgan. But it turns out surviving a murderous Witch Hunter doesn’t exactly qualify as a summer vacation, and now the rest of the Hunters seem more intent on destroying her magic than ever.

When Hannah learns the Hunters have gone nationwide, armed with a serum capable of taking out entire covens at once, she’s desperate to help. Now, with witches across the country losing the most important thing they have—their power—Hannah could be their best shot at finally defeating the Hunters. After all, she’s one of the only witches to escape a Hunter with her magic intact.

Or so everyone believes. Because as good as she is at faking it, doing even the smallest bit of magic leaves her in agony. The only person who can bring her comfort, who can make her power flourish, is Morgan. But Morgan’s magic is on the line, too, and if Hannah can’t figure out how to save her—and the rest of the Witches—she’ll lose everything she’s ever known. And as the Hunters get dangerously close to their final target, will all the Witches in Salem be enough to stop an enemy determined to destroy magic for good?

Review

I am pleased by this book and the conclusion of this series.

There are a lot more characters than in the previous book. They aren’t all in the foreground as a lot of them are just mentioned, but it gives you the idea that there are a lot more people involved in the problem than just Hannah’s coven. Like in all books, you have bad people, and I just didn’t like them.

In this book, you go through Hannah’s thoughts and feelings and how everything changed with her magic. I feel that there is a better balance between the character-driven side of the story and the plot development than in the previous book. Also, I am happy with the ending, even if some parts of it are predictable, the unravelling was great. Nevertheless, I was a little frustrated by the last scene; I didn’t want it to be finished.

A great series to read!

Liz.
