I was given this book in return for an honest review. The crew is back and with more action than ever. Willow, Tony and a bunch of people from their group are going on a mission to try to free their family and friends from Zack, his dad (the Doc) and their minions. As usual,things don't go exactly as planned. People will not make it out this time and we will lose some beloved characters. On top of dealing with loss, Willow has to deal with her feelings for Tony while she is still dating Alec. Her powers are ever evolving and she picks up some new ones in this installment, still dealing with the Reapers and the others. Willow will have to make some choices in this book that will not only affect her emotionally, but will affect her everyday life and the lives of others. There is so much action, suspense and tension that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I feel bad for Willow even though sometimes I want to smack her for making rash decisions without thinking about the consequences,but then I remember, she's just a teenager with a ton of responsibility on her shoulders. She will either be stronger for the decisions she has made and has to live with, or they will eventually break her. This time, her friends may not be enough to get her through because she seems to be pushing them away somewhat. The only bad thing about this book is that it ended. Now I have to wait for the next book. This is a wonderful series of books that are appropriate for all ages as there is no sex or anything like that. The only thing that some parents may not like for younger kids is the mild violence in the book. Absolutely loved, loved, loved it.
