 BrookeAshley | May 21, 2013 |  I think this was my favorite of the first three. I have a couple more on the way. (  ) Yona | May 2, 2013 | ereader ebook,headless woman cover  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 | Transferred from my spreadsheet to Goodreads sally906 | Apr 3, 2013 | I believe I would have liked these characters more if I had read the second book in the series; instead, it was just a bunch of unpleasant people thrown at me at the beginning. It did get a bit better further into the book, so I'm glad I stuck with it. I truly dislike Savannah, the teenager, and I don't like how Paige, the heroine of the tale, interacts with her. Why wouldn't you tell a 13-year-old that she almost got a friend of hers killed due to her recklessness--especially after she does it again? This kid feels no compassion or empathy; it seems like an important thing for a guardian to address when she keeps doing violence to people without remorse. Over and over again, she manipulates people and puts them in danger, but there are no consequences. I kept wishing Paige would just grow a backbone and act like the adult in the equation.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553587064, Mass Market Paperback)From one of today’s most original writers comes the mesmerizing tale of an exceptional young woman caught up in an otherworldly realm where some will stop at nothing to get what they want.Paige Winterbourne was always either too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world’s most powerful elite organizations—the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige’s wildest antics can’t hold a candle to those of her new charge—an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil...and evil is all too willing to claim her. For this girl is being pursued by a dark faction of the supernatural underworld. They are a vicious group who will do anything to woo the young, malleable, and extremely powerful neophyte, including commit murder—and frame Paige for the crime. It’s an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:49:32 -0500) Paige Winterbourne is a witch. Not that you'd notice, most of the time she's just a normal 23 year old - works too hard, worries about her weight, wonders if she'll ever have a boyfriend. An ordinary life, that is, until the neighbours find out who she is, and all hell breaks loose - literally.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

All that said, I still gave it three stars indicating that it was an entertaining read, but I hope Kelley Armstrong gets back in shape after this book. (
