So this book took a few turns I wasn’t expecting but it has definitely added to it and made it so much more attention grabbing. I feel so bad for Diana, I want a happy ending for her so bad. I definitely can’t wait to see what happens next!

I own all six books in the series but had listened to the first four on audiobook. I finished them in like a week because I was obsessed. I enjoyed this book because of the plot twists that continued to happen and I did not see them coming. That being said I did feel that there were a couple of plot holes throughout. For example, why did Scarlett just give up the master tools after stealing them from Cassie and the circle? Is she able to see the future and she just knew that the circle would do what she wanted?
I also wish that Diana and Faye would have been more rounded out as characters. It felt a bit repetitive their competition and their relationship not evolving felt inauthentic given everything that happened in the story.

It is a good book, but I can't really enjoy it the way I would due to its "magic". I was expecting more elaborate spells and styles of magic but almost everything in the book is as if someone is reading from a bad copy of the book of shadows of their wiccan friend.
Other than the fact that the spells are extremely simplistic, to the point that seem childish "example calling to mother earth and the moon to beat a baddie), the author doesn't even put the effort to make them sound like and at least rhyme! Just random words as if it is a speech.
And another magic related thing that puts me off, is that the spells that are in Latin, are so bad, as if the author used google translate or a bad dictionary to write them.
Still a good read, but I have a feeling that the Author should focus on crime and mystery books instead of fantasy/magic.

The first half of this book was really boring, but the second half picked up. It was kind of repetitive, but still pretty good. I still hate Cassie's selfishness, and her indecisiveness, and the way she's the strongest witch around even though she had no idea a while ago that she even was a witch. Just rather annoying, how that works. But I was surprised about Of course I'm kind of confused how Doesn't make too much sense. Oh well. It's just a book. I thought the

Faye wouldn't die. She's like the elected mean one, and they never die.Spoiler
they all knew that Scarlett was evil, seeing as how she stole the Master Tools in the previous book, but then they all accepted her into the Circle, assuming she was good?Spoiler
silver cord between Diana and Max was cute. Wish she'd said something during that meeting where she was trying to convince the group that Max was legit.bellabells977's review against another edition

I adored the first 4 books when I was a child. Reading this book now, I realized that I still adore them now.
This is a very quick read and it is very fast paced. I loved the story and the characters and I cried real tears when a certain thing happened that I simply can't get over.
I can't wait to read the last book and see how it all ends.

[Note: 3.5/5] Une suite très intéressante ! J'ai bien aimé voir la façon dont la magie noire prenait possession des pensées et ressentis de Cassie, et j'ai bien aimé suivre toute cette histoire de fil d'argent entre les personnages. Le fait qu'il y ait plus de magie noire dans ce livre que les autres donne un petit coup de peps à la série, et c'est un bon plus !
Je ne m'attendais pas à ce genre de fin, mais au final ça donne de quoi finir cette saga en beauté avec une nouvelle bataille qui s'annonce pour ce 3ème et dernier tome de la saison 2 :)
