Gwen’s journey takes a turn into the darkness in this second installment in the Elemental Witch Trials series. As an envoy between the vampires and the humans, Gwen is on a mission to search out who is responsible for witch Paulette’s death. Her journey takes her deeper into the world of vampires, sending her on such a dangerous trail that she must question the motives of everyone around her. Despite it all, she learns that vampires aren’t the only evil that endangers her. Witches can be evil too.

Gwen seemed a lot more strongly written in this second book. She doesn’t cower or give up. Even when she is hurt by the people she loves, she fights back. I also loved the new characters introduced in this story and the way the author set up the book for part three. Great stuff!

This book is not for the faint of heart. It takes you into the depths of the cold, harsh world of vampires. A world filled with hate, anger, power, manipulation, and punishment for those who even consider to disobey vampires. It has great character descriptions, and the plot is dark, going beyond the search for a missing witch. If you want to get a "true" sense of the nature of vampires, you'll want to read this book.
