We start off meeting Rachel-witch who has denied her powers to please her husband who is non-magical. Rachel is married to Michael and they have a pre-school daughter. They share a home with Rachel’s sister Raven and her partner Alex as well as Loisa. Rachel is very unhappy and her unhappiness invites in a powerful evil by the name of Syrull who feeds off of the misery of others. Jolynn takes us on the journey of Rachel’s rediscovery of her powers, learning the powers of her child and how her non-magical husband can also help this family. It was an excellent read, however I should make it clear that there is minimal romance involved. I did feel at times that my head was going to explode trying to recall details from the beginning of the book and how people fit together. By the end of the book though, it all made sense and I am glad that I persisted in reading the novel. If you like evil, magic, surprise endings, this is an excellent read. I would recommend all in one sitting though so that all the amazing details of history make sense. I would give this book 4 fangs-because of the hopping I had to do- I am off to the next in the series---and isn’t that the goal?Book 2.Jolynn did an amazing job in this book. I fell into the story easily and could not put it down. It had great elements of romance (and the chase) built in. Meet Raven, a Connelly Witch who has just fell through a time warp and is trapped in the life of another girl with the same name in a very different era. Her life in that ERA is somewhat of a mirror of her life in 2013, however she does not know who she is or remember 2013-save for the face of her sister Rachel. Rachel and the rest of the family have to figure out how to bring her back without disrupting time and changing the lives of other’s in the process. It was such a great story, I am looking forward to reading more. 5 fangs.
