Anna survived the attempt to bind her magic, but Anna and her coven aren’t free from danger yet. Haunted by her aunt’s death, living in fear of her curse, and fated to love the one man she can never have, the last thing Anna needs is a witch hunt. Now she must conceal her magic once more or risk losing everything. 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 her twin sister Effie must find a way to work together to protect the coven.

The second main book in the series arrived much larger and longer than o was expecting, with 650 or so pages.
Undaunted, I stuck my head in and was immediately hooked, drawn back into this world of teenage witches facing their pasts and futures while their world is under attack.
There’s so much going on, and Thomas does a great job of weaving that into a narrative told from one character’s alignment, that reveals secrets and world building to us at the perfect pace.
It’s a brilliant balance of moving the novel’s plot and the series plot forward in step, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
