I actually enjoyed this one more than the first one, I believe because I knew the characters already and knew what was going on. Although it is a stand-alone, I strongly suggest you read “The Witches of Vegas” first so you understand what is happening better.

In this one, Isis is sick and nobody can figure out why. The family seeks out a fabled village of witches—New Salem—hidden in Europe somewhere. When they discover what is happening to Isis, they attempt to formulate a plan to save her before she dies. Unfortunately, their plans go awry when they come once again face-to-face with Valeria.

There is much anguish in this story, especially toward the end (I was crying – thanks a lot!), but that means the author grabbed me and pulled me. I cared about the characters. I cared what was happening. And the only way to do that is to write a good book. Which this is.

Recommendation: Read “The Witches of Vegas” first, then go on to this one. You won’t be sorry. But definitely read them both. They are worth the price and the time. Recommended.

When I saw that this was book 2 of The Witches of Vegas series, it’s safe to say, I did a little happy dance around the house.
I enjoyed this book more than the first, which is extremely impressive as I loved the first book! Shout out Mark for writing PERFECTION!
I really enjoyed the fast-paced nature of this book! The action and drama was fantastically written and I miss it already!
I would definitely recommend this book to any YA Fantasy fanatics like myself.
