First reread 17-05-2015
If you are looking for a book with an amazing fantasy plot and that is deep and meaningful, this book is not for you. If you can accept this for what it is, a light easy fantasy chick lit, you will love it.
It had been a few years since I read the third book so I was a little fuzzy on what happened. The start has a bit of a recap on what happened which helped me remember parts again. The plot in itself is not very strong and is predictable. The change in setting from New York to a small town in Texas is nice for a change.
The family of Katie is certainly interesting. I think I am secretly in love with her granny. Part of me is glad that the most of her family also seems to be attached to magic in some way. Katie does have a lot of touches of a possible mary sue, her being special with immunity was one that ticked very hard.
As for the relationship between Katie and Owen, that felt very unsatisfactory to me. They had a situation where Katie choose to leave. They resolved it at the end but it felt too easy for me, especially as throughout the book they did not once really speak of it or fight about it. I felt Owen took everything on himself and forgave Katie very easily as if she can do nothing wrong.

I really enjoyed the other books in this series, but this one didn't capture my attention as much as the other ones did. It took me a while to get into it, and I was close to putting it down. I didn't like the Texas town or the relatives/friends she encountered there. New York and her New York friends were a much better setting.
