This book is a departure for Ann Gimpel in some ways because it is a stand alone book - most of what she has written lately has been series'. This departure allowed her to focus more on the "Happy Ever After" ending that is often missing in a series book, at least until the last book. They usually have a "Happy For Now" ending that leads into the next book but sometimes there is a cliffhanger ending that leaves you desperate for the next book to see what happens to your characters! However, if she wished to continue to write in this world I would be thrilled because I am very sure there are more stories to be told and it seems like an interesting and enchanting place.That is not to say that this book isn't full of action and some pretty awesome fights between the minions of evil and Luke, Abigail and other Coven members on the side of good! The magic that each Coven member uses is as elemental as each person is different so the way they fight and the types of spells they use is quite interesting to read. The evil that they are facing is quite insidious, lurking inside the ones you least suspect until you are confronted by it in a situation where you have very little time and a small chance to figure out how to save the ones around you that you must protect, let alone yourself!There was so much of this wonderful book that surprised me! There isn't a lot else to say without spoiling anything and I won't do that in a review. All I can do is highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a bit of steampunk style in their books, anyone who likes anything to do with magic and the ongoing battle between good and evil and anyone who likes a book that engrosses and entertains you and makes you smile and leaves you with a good feeling when you are done!I received a copy of the ebook from the author in exchange for an honest review.
