Book Description:
All magic comes with a price.
The
new school year brings with it a welcome return to normalcy after Alice’s
narrow escape from a cursed hotel while on summer vacation. But when a young
girl drowns in a freak accident that seems eerily similar to her own near-death
experience, Alice suspects there might be something going on that not even the
police can uncover.
The girl’s older sister, Eva attends Alice’s school, and
Alice immediately befriends her. But things change when Alice learns that Eva
is determined to use magic to bring her sister back. She must decide whether to
help Eva work the highly dangerous magic or stop her at all costs. After all,
no one knows better than Alice the true price of magic.
My Take
on the Book:
Oh wow.
If you thought
things didn't get any better from book 1, then you were wrong.
I thoroughly
enjoyed this book and the characters in it. I found the plot both interesting
and easy to follow. This is the almost perfect follow up to the first book.
By almost
perfect, what I mean is simple, the story had a great plot, likeable characters
and what felt like a natural progression in the timeline of these characters.
What I didn't particularly like was the amount of time it took for anything
really interesting to happen. The story kind of dragged in the beginning,
giving what feels like a longer than necessary filler between the ending of
book 1 and the story being told in book 2. There was also waayyy too much
repetition and it interrupted the flow of the story being told. Other than
these relatively simple cons, I loved this book.
Ms. Arnold
managed to dish out another great book with the same character I came to love
in the first installment while introducing us to some new characters that
really help give this story the umph it needed!
5 Quills
What it all
boils down to is the pace. The premise was well thought out and the characters
were just as likeable as the last book, but the amount of pages I wanted to
skim through in the beginning of the book took its toll on me and almost
changed my rating. Luckily, once the story picks up it really picks up and
keeps you hooked. Page after page, I couldn’t stop myself from reading.
