I liked the uniqueness  of the storyline. I found it very entertaining with it's plots of misfortune and daring exploits. Though there were some "typo errors", I could easily figure out what was happening or said in the story. However, I thought that Willow (a main character) was snobbish to a point. She was displayed as a spoiled brat. She seem to be letting everyone do all the hard work while she watched. In my opinion, the girl needs to grow a pair of balls.LOL!!! She is constantly in some kind of trouble, and keeps relying on Declan and others to get her out of it. Very pathetic. I hope she will show some "moxy" in the other books.  The story is about a young witch named Willow. On the night of her talisman ceremony, she is abducted by the "Queen of Witches" Hekate. She discovers that Hekate has her 3 sisters (coven) in a soul box which drains the soul and powers of those in box. Hekate wants to extract Willow's "healer" power for herself. Her talisman was also stolen and placed in Everwild (a bad forest). After talking with a Seeker, Willow and Declan are pushed through a portal to Everwild. Though both were unwilling participants, they are determined to trudge through the forest and reclaim Willow's talisman. On their way, they meet deviant creatures, and some creatures that ended up being allies that directed them in the right direction of her talisman. Willow and Declan face many obstacles and eventually are awarded the talisman. She returns home and decisions need to be made regarding her sisters. Willow finds out about a conspiracy in Declan's coven and has to tell Declan that he needs to leave. It's to save his life. After Declan's departure, Willow and Chase (ally from Everwild) goes to Seeker to find out about the box and the key to open said box. Again, Seeker pushes Willow and Chase through the portal which leads them to Declan's location. Hopefully Declan will help, but want know until you read the next book in series. The ending kinda' leaves you hanging, but there are 2 books out. I was thankful to read that because I don't like to wait long. LOL!!! I'll continue to read this series because it shows a lot of promise.  Cheers!!
