But when deadly hysteria strikes across the capital, and in her own school, the coven are left dangerously exposed. Delving deeper into the magical underworld of London, Anna and Effie must find a way to work together to protect the coven.

But as the witch hunt intensifies and the hysteria spirals out of control, can Effie and Anna truly trust each other?

Engrossing

The book itself was fabulous. I enjoyed the story and all of its subplots. Some were more transparent than others. I appreciate the way Cari Thomas would reflect on situations that had transpired previously with just enough information to jog the memory without delving into it all over again. I was feeling a bit misled when I purchased this as it was listed as a book 2 of 2. I am going to go out on a limb and assume there will be a book 3. It will be difficult to wait but it will be worth it.

This was a twenty-seven hour book that completely engrossed me. I have listened to Helen Keely narrate other books and liked her very much. This time however, I was irritated every time she switched to her male character's voices. Even Her female characters did not always feel distinct enough which led to some confusion.

HATED THE NARRATION!!!

I enjoyed the first book in this series. The narration was so annoying in this sequel that I could not listen to it. When Anna was talking, the volume was low and terribly monotone. If I turned up the volume, when another character spoke the volume shot way up and their voices sounded manic. I may buy this title again on my Kindle, but this is my first Audible purchase that I truly could not listen to.
