The first book in the Witchery duology was magical and mysterious, and Shadow Coven was no different.
This story picks off not long after the end of The Witchery, with both our beloved Red Coven and their Hammersmitt boys recovering from the dramatic events of last school year and trying to enjoy a normal summer. But witches are going missing, old family and friends are reappearing, and something is stirring in the Swamp.
I loved every single plot line in this book, and the way they overlapped without being confusing. New developments in the witches' powers made the magic system even more interesting, and the further exploration of characters' backstories was super exciting. Watching all of them grow more comfortable with their magic and with each other was especially cool. The friendships, sisterhood, and romance in this series is simply fantastic.
The only flaw within this book is the loose ends--some of the plot lines came to a rather rushed conclusion during the climax, and while there were definitely intentional open endings, there were also a couple things that just felt glossed over or forgotten about. Fingers crossed we get a third book so we can see these characters and stories continued!! Either way, I will definitely be reading whatever S. Isabelle writes next.
