Still reeling from losing Jack, Merry is having to get used to working with the coven, adopting their rules for magic as well as keep up with school. Meanwhile, big brother Leo is dealing with him own heartbreak of losing best friend Dan as well feeling cast out by his family of witches despite his part in defeating Gwydion in the spring. When witches from the coven begin to go missing Merry must once again put herself at risk to save those she loves.
I’m so glad we get to see more of Leo in the second part of the Witch’s Kiss series! My heart is breaking for him as he is already facing backlash regarding his sexuality, he lost his best friend and everyone around him is a witch except for him! I’d definitely be feeling it too! So when mystery man Ronan comes on the scene you can’t help but keep your fingers and toes crossed that Leo will find some happiness! I’m still warming to Merry, at times I find her infuriating that she doesn’t think along the same lines as me and feels like she misses some really obvious hints as to who is taking the witches! I mean, I clicked a few chapters before she did! Come on Merry, you’re smarter than this! I’m loving the introduction of wizard teen Finn who seems determined to help Merry despite the long standing dispute between witches and wizards – I feel like he will surprise us in book 3!
Still very much enjoying the series thus far and cannot wait to dive into the finale, The Witch’s Blood!
