“Cold as Marble” by Zoe Aarsen, a follow-up to “Light as a Feather” was a fun, witchy story full of suspense and action. A great second installment, and left me looking forward to Book 3!

Sequel to Light as a Feather!
Thanks to NetGalley, Edelweiss and Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing for the opportunity to read and review Cold As a Marble by Zoe Aarssen, the sequel to Light As a Feather.
McKenna and her friends’ lives were completely disrupted in the first book. Two out of their friend group died, Olivia and Candace, and they believe both deaths were caused by Violet, the new girl who insisted they play the game Light As a Feather. During the game, Violet described their deaths and McKenna accused Violet of killing her friends. A restraining order was placed on McKenna and she was sent away to a different school. She’s home for Christmas and more teenage girls are dying. McKenna, her neighbor and boyfriend Trey, and Olivia’s brother Henry diligently work together to stop Violet and the curse she’s helping along. Suspenseful and interesting adventures and actions that the three dive into cause stress and more problems in their personal lives than helping stop the curse. I liked this sequel better than the first book in this series because it was faster paced and had more character development. Spooky, dangerously fun read for young adults! 4 stars!

Cold as Marble is the sequel to Light as a Feather. Please note that there will be spoilers of the first book, as this one picks up right after the end of the first book. McKenna figures out that Violet is still predicting the deaths of people at her school with tarot cards at the end of Light as a Feather. Cold as Marble starts with McKenna returning from a boarding school for the holidays. Her friend Mischa narrowly escaped her deadly fate in the first book, but McKenna is still worried that her friend is next on Violet’s list.

I enjoyed the magic and mystery that this book offered; however, I wish that this wasn’t a trilogy. I feel like the characters’ arcs and the way everything was tied up was perfect. Anything in addition to the first two books would feel like filler honestly. Overall, though, this book was a quick and fun read with witchcraft and mystery.
