Another amazing Syd Hayle adventure! I can't get enough of this girl. She's snarky, loving and has a knack for not following directions. The snafu's she gets into this round really had me gripping my chair in absolute terror for her.The Chosen of the Light are after her, especially the creepy Demetrius, who wants to recruit Syd for his demented faction that cleanses the earth of evil. He considers Syd's family as tainted, but since there is something more malevolent going on that distracts the coven from dealing with him, he gets widely ignored, which is a huge mistake.Syd seems to find herself in tons of situations where her magic, still not under complete control, seems to attract trouble and fantastical things out nowhere. The school bully isn't even immune and she, Susanne,  gets possessed by some unknown entity that wants to do nothing more than drain everyone dry around them--magic, blood and all. It really had everyone on their toes because no one knows what's going on for most of the book, which sort of freaks everyone out, including me. Definitely spine tingling.Absolutely loved this installment of the Hayle Coven Series. It shows Syd growing more and more in tune with her magic, teases us with the handsome Quaid's subtle affections, pulls Syd's friends into the thick of the mess plaguing the coven and keeps you rooting for Syd the whole way through. Excellent series.
