Book Blurb
For Callie McFay, a half-witch/half-fey professor of folklore and Gothic literature, the fight to save the enchanted town of Fairwick, New York, is far from over. After a hostile takeover by the Grove—a sinister group of witches and their cohorts—many of the local fey have been banished or killed, including Callie’s one true love. And in place of the spirit of tolerance and harmony, the new administration at Fairwick College has fostered an air of danger and distrust.
With her unique magical abilities, Callie is the only one who can rescue her friends from exile and restore order to the school—a task that requires her to find the Angel Stone, a legendary talisman of immense power. Propelled on an extraordinary quest back to seventeenth-century Scotland, Callie risks her life to obtain the stone. Yet when she encounters a sexy incarnation of her lost love, she finds the greater risk is to her heart. As the fate of Fairwick hangs in the balance, Callie must make a wrenching choice: reclaim a chance for eternal passion or save everything she holds dear.
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Professors McFay, Frank Demarco, and Soheilia Lilly are on a mission to protect the female students from the Frat boys who work for the Nephilim. They enlist the help of the vampires and Callie is determined to find the hidden hallow door to Faerie. She is the only one who can open it to save the college and its students. She is hoping to retrieve the former Dean and possibly her lover who are currently trapped in Faerie now that the main door is closed.
Callie can only open the door on Halloween with the help of a witch’s circle. Most of the witches have fled or changed sides. They are able to find two more to make four, but it not enough until Callie’s grandmother comes back to town. She is the one who helped close the door in the first place. Callie and her friends don’t trust her, but they have no choice. They have to include her grandmother and her companions to make the circle work. As Halloween gets closer the Nephilim try to ban all celebrations to stop Callie’s ability to open the door.
She is determined to find a way. Opening the door and finding the angel stone is the only way she knows to defeat the Nephilim. She has no choice. They know what she is trying to do and will try everything to stop her.
I had a really hard time getting into this book. It may have been that I haven’t read the first two in the trilogy. I would recommend reading those first. I think too much of the back stories and events leading to the point in this book were missing for me. As a result I had a hard time relating and even really investing in the characters’ stories.
I would give it a 3 out of 5
