Hannah Walsh just wants to finish high school. It's her senior year, so she should be focusing on classes, hanging out with her best friend, and flirting with her new girlfriend, Morgan. But it turns out surviving a murderous Witch Hunter doesn't exactly qualify as a summer vacation, and now the rest of the Hunters seem more intent on destroying her magic than ever.

When Hannah learns the Hunters have gone nationwide, armed with a serum capable of taking out entire covens at once, she's desperate to help. Now, with witches across the country losing the most important thing they have--their power--Hannah could be their best shot at finally defeating the Hunters. After all, she's one of the only witches to escape a Hunter with her magic intact.

Or so everyone believes. Because as good as she is at faking it, doing even the smallest bit of magic leaves her in agony. The only person who can bring her comfort, who can make her power flourish, is Morgan. But Morgan's magic is on the line, too, and if Hannah can't figure out how to save her--and the rest of the Witches--she'll lose everything she's ever known. And as the Hunters get dangerously close to their final target, will all the Witches in Salem be enough to stop an enemy determined to destroy magic for good?

Short and Sweet Review

This sequel picks up right where These Witches Won’t Burn ended. We’re back in Salem with Hannah and she’s still grieving from everything that she lost. The hunters are still around and dangerous and Hannah is given the opportunity to help stop them and she accepts the offer.

Well the witches are in a lot of danger, the hunters won’t stop until everyone is cured and a lot of covens are being attacked. Hannah is approached by an elder who gives her the chance to help recruit other witches to assist with stopping the hunters. We meet Alice, the witch Hannah had a problem with in New York and it was tense between the two of them understandably. We also see a few familiar faces from the last book.

I liked that we see the caster, elementals, and blood witches work together to achieve a common goal. We see a lot of trial and error with how they thought they should take care of the hunters and it was nerve wracking seeing the witches put themselves in that kind of danger.

We also see more romance between Hannah and Morgan I liked them together, Morgan had a way to put Hannah at ease and it wasn’t because she was using her powers.

Hannah was put in a lot of danger especially because her powers weren’t working like they should and she wasn’t thinking clearly most of the time. My main problem with this book was Hannah, she not only put herself in danger but the people around her, she would also lash out at people who didn’t deserve it.

Overall this was a good ending to the duology but I think I enjoyed the first book more, for some reason I just couldn’t deal with Hannah in this book.
