Publisher's Summary

My name is Pamela, and I am the most powerful witch the world has ever seen. Only my magic is completely bound away from me, rendering me next to useless.

I’m about to face a witch who makes me look like a child fighting a seasoned general in battle. A witch whose strength lies within the dead, and whose magic I unleashed during my part of destroying the world.

Now she wants me to bow to her, to give her my strength and my magic.

I’ve been stripped of my familiars. Stripped of my magic. And I must face all that lies ahead of me with only the blackest parts of my soul to keep me alive.

If I manage to survive, will I still know who I am, or will I have finally succumbed to the darkness growing inside me?

My name is Pamela, and I’m about to find out that nothing in this broken world is as it seems.

Including my magic.

Shannon Mayer has done it again!!

Can't wait for the next installment. This book ends in a huge cliff hanger. So be prepared!!

Yes!!!

Loving Pamela's story! Khristine does an excellent job bringing her to life. Can not wait for the next one in this series!!

Connection

The emotional connection to the characters and the turmoil in this book caused me to ALMOST stop reading it. But... I had to finish through the tears and heartache.

The first line is perfect, Where was I?

Just like before with this series, the story jumps right in where it left off as though it were all one really big book instead of a series of them.
Holy crap, not even 10 minutes in and the narrator gave me chills with her vocal performance! Very well done!
At about an hour in, there is a reference from someone about Oka, but then minutes later they act like they don’t know her name or who/what she is… I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but it does disrupt the flow of the story for me. It is minor though and not enough to ruin the story or anything.
The overall story is a whirlwind of experiences. One thing after another that challenges not just the main character, but those around her as well. The changes in the world that happen in this book are shocks as well as page-turning events that keep you wanting to learn more. The very last line of the book will send chills down your spine. It did mine!

Hanging on by a thread!!

Omg!! This series just keeps getting better and better!! This book is amazing. The narrator, Khristine Hvam is wonderful. I absolutely love her and feel like she’s a perfect fit for Pamela. Easy to listen and follow. One click this series, sooo good!!

Speechless

I don’t have words to express my emotions after finishing this book. It was amazing and heartbreaking all wrapped up in one. Shannon has an innate ability to make you fall in love with all characters no matter how big or small a role they play. I know that every choice has a reason in her books and although my heart is broken I can’t wait to see what else is in store for Pam.

This series continues to entertain

Pamela continues to grow and learn as the kick a$$ heroine that she is. This story keeps pulling you in.

Major Plot Advancements Yet Dark, Dark, Dark

Now this is where the story deviates a bit for some major plot developments. You can see why Shannon split the narration between Pamela and Alex since they become separated for most of the story. It allows the reader to get a more well-rounded view of the world as a whole, while building suspense during tense moments by switching between the two perspectives. For the first half of the book, I didn’t enjoy it much because it just took too weird of a turn for me. As you start to see the pieces fall together though, it starts to make sense, and more palatable.

The book is just SOOOO DARK. There are moments of pure torture for many of the main characters, and it started to really wear on me. And Pamela has been through sooo much already, yet it’s one of the main ways for an author to develop and advance their characters. This book was very hard for me to rate in the series because I’m still hooked and need to know what will happen in the final book, but there was a lot that didn’t sit well with me. Some of the new advancements are a step above crazy, and nothing I ever would have thought of. Finally, the ending is a MASSIVE cliffhanger. Like obnoxiously massive. So much so that I practically jumped to buy the next book immediately so I could find out what would come next. In the end, although most of the book was frustrating for me, as I step back and re-evaluate Mayer’s choices, I can somewhat grudgingly applaud her for the advancements she has made in the plot of this story in her world.

Fast paced action pack and emotional story

Shannon Mayer did it again blew my mind and broke my heart. This book and series is fabulous it is full of heartbreak and love which makes it impossible to stop listening. This story just pulls you in and does not let you go. I cant stop thinking about everything that has happened. Pamela goes through the trials of the maze with the help of some friends from the Rylee Adamson series. I love that Pamela finds out more about her magic and is able to accept it. This ending though. I don't think I can love Mac more.

Khristine Hvam always fabulous with the emotions and personalities she puts into the characters. She is a fantastic narrator, definitely a favorite of mine to listen to!

Is it a Maze or....

Pam finds she has several familiars, many friends, a new family and....Raven?!? It is a frustrating but rewarding ride to find Pam's true magic. This take is filled with the unexpected. Very fun, and okay I will keep listening/reading!

Fabulous

This is my second time listening and it’s just as good as the first time.
