This novella actually was published after the first book in the series, These Witches Don't Burn and provided some much needed context to the events that preceded the series. I really felt that this enhanced how I understood and felt about the first book, which I noted in my review felt as though I started halfway through a book.
When the first book picks up, Hannah and her ex-girlfriend Veronica are in the midst of the wreckage of their breakup. The pain was so raw, but I admit I had struggled to fully connect with it because I never saw them when things were good. I struggled to understand what could have possibly happened to their relationship to leave them in the state they were in with one another--full of both love and hate.
Now, I got to see the notorious Manhattan trip that sparked the beginning of the end for Hannah and Veronica, and led to Hannah's paranoia over the events happening in Salem in the first book.
If you are just planning to start, I highly recommend reading this first before the others!

Probably meant to be read between 1 and 2, this relatively short book goes through the time Hannah and Veronica spend in NYC. Quick read, not a lot of substance.
