The action continues in this gripping sequel as dark vengeful conjurers try to destroy Serafina and the Biltmore estate only to be thwarted by unexpected forces.

I liked this installment more than the first. I think it would be great fun to read aloud.

I liked this book a lot. I even stood in line for three hours to get it signed by the author. I did figure out the plot twist a bit before it happened, but I am a higher reading level than this book, so younger kids might not be able to figure it out. Other than that, I loved this book and am looking forward to a third one.

Tak jak moc mě první díl nebavil, tak moc mě teď dostal ten druhý. Naprosto jsem ho zhltala za dva dny, nemohla jsem se od něj odtrhnout. Bylo to velice napínavé celou dobu. Serafína je jasným důkazem, že není dobrý nápad zavrhnout celou sérii jen proto, že se mi nelíbil první díl. Jsem moc ráda, že jsem ji dala druhou šanci. A teď jsem moc zvědavá na třetí závěrečný díl.
I did not like the first book at all, but this second one, wow, I could not stop reading. It was amazing. Really you should not give up on a serie if you do not like the first book. Serafina is the proof that later on you migh love the serie. It was great read. I devoured in two days, went to be at 3am because I could not stop reading how suspenseful, dramatic it was. I cannot wait for the third book to read.
