I hate to say it, but this witchy sequel left me hexed… and not in a good way. I had such high hopes after The Coven, but this one felt like an endless loop of sexy times with a pinch of plot thrown in for flavour. Don’t get me wrong (I’m no prude) but I need more story to sink my teeth into, and this just didn’t deliver.

The ending finally gave us some actual action (and no, not just the bedroom kind), but by then, I was already halfway out the door. If you’re here for steam, you’ll be very happy, but if you’re looking for a follow-up that matches the dark academia magic of the first book? Don’t get your hopes too high.
