Oh...my...swearword! The tension in this one was unbreakable! Syd goes head on with a rival coven- The Dumonts- and I mean all out. The coven's leader is known to be the sister of the coven leader of the Purity coven, who we know from previous books, challenged Syd's Grandmother Ethpeal eighteen years ago. Purity coven lost, but so did Eptheal, by losing her mind and ending up in crazy land. It comes full circle when the Dumonts pay a visit, and it's not a friendly one.We get to see Quaid again (Yaay!) but, it's not in the best of circumstances. I literally was hating on him from the way he treated Syd like she didn't even exist. It was heartbreaking! Syd's circle of friends is falling apart too, something that I felt was coming, but was hard to see play out. We see different sides of Pain, Allison, Page and Syd's Uncle Frank. The havoc that the Dumonts cause while they are in town is devastating and I completely disliked each and every one of them to the core. One particular Dumont seems to have it in for Syd really bad and I hope she gets her just desserts for doing what she did to the Hayle coven.I really liked the werewolves and I wonder if we'll be getting more of them in future books. I hope so, it would be awesome! They were intriguing, mysterious and chock full of secrets.It's one of the darkest books of the series and I really enjoyed the way the characters have matured and changed...some for the better, some for way worse indeed. As always I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
