This is the second book in K.D Carrillo's Central Coven Series, and I have to say that I enjoyed this book more then the first one.
Freshman year may have changed the lives of Chloe, Finn Dean and Anita but sophomore year brings hope that they can have the normal lives they all crave and a 2nd chance at lost love. Unfortunately their hopes are shattered with the Inquisition threatening to expose the existence of the supernatural world.
The Central Coven need Chloe to step up and help them battle this new evil, but her powers are rapidly weakening. What does she have to do to heal? Face her most frightening challange yet. The Challenge? Giving Finn a second chance.
Will Chloe give Finn a second chance? Will she heal and regain her powers in order to help defeat the Inquisition? You'll have to pick up a copy to find out :D
This book was drama and action packed from start to finish, and I found myself being totally immersed from beginning to end. Which for me is saying something as I'm not a big paranormal reader, but I'm trying to change that!!!
Chloe, Finn, Dean and Anita have grown so much in this book and the four friends have paired up into couples. Dean and Anita know they want to spend forever together, but Chloe and Finn are still very unsure if they really love one another enough to even think of forever.
Loved the new characters that were introduced in this book and I'm looking forward to reading more about their adventures.
**** out of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Central Coven series and was packed with much more action than the first book. Chloë, Finn, Anita and Dean are still at it. Trying to protect each other from this war that is raging on.
I liked that we get to know a little bit more of Grey in this one and get inside his head. We are introduced to some new characters amongst the new refugee. Chloë and Finn still struggle with their feelings for each other and whether they have a forever future together. I kept thinking 'really we're back to this. Get it together', while Anita and Dean are secure in their relationship and are madly in love. The characters really grow and develop in this book becoming much more mature and their friendship grows stronger.
Each of the main characters had their own POV, which was great. It was easier to follow along in this book and made it that much more enjoyable to read. This one was also more New Adult as on top of more action, it was also filled with more emotion, more passion and desire. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Team Grey!
Burning is fantastic!
If you were a fan of Central Coven which had super naturals, such as; Vampires, Elves, Witches, Shape shifters, then you will love book 2, Burning. It’s a super naturals explosion! Burning has all the fun stuff that Central Coven did, battle scenes (which kept me on my toes), lots of romance (each one of the Coven individuals have partnered up), and new fun characters are introduced (we get to know my favorite character, Grey a little better. Aaah).The characters have blossomed, friendships have grown stronger. The new characters brought in more passion and desire. All the characters, new/old are all learning their powers and seeing how a true formed coven works! All the while they are finding out who they truly are in the mix of juggling a “normal life”. In the end it is about finding (fighting) your destiny, and growing as a family (Coven).
K.D. Carrillo’s writing has developed since book one. She’s added more twists and turns and kept my interest the whole time.
I can not wait for book 3!

Again I usually stay away from young adult..smiles. This second book I enjoyed more than the first. As hard as our group of young people try to be normal... it isn't in the cards for them.
Along with trying to be as normal as they can, there is Chloe and Finn, the witch hunters and of course Evil itself..
It wont be easy... Chloe will have to find away to kick in her powers... is Finn the answer to her strength? Of course there are some that think a Elf and Witch shouldn’t be together... and Bridgett will make it known how she feels, herself being Finns parents choice.
Not only is the need for Chloe's powers to be at their full potential...to help her coven, but the Inquisition is forever present.
Following the story full of action and adventure, some sweet loving.. and a friendship that will last through it all. This read was fun, fast paced and kept you wanting to read to the end. Id recommend this read to anyone of the magic lovers out there. Enjoy

~~I received this in exchange for an honest review~~
This is the second book in the Central Coven series, and it does not disappoint at all!! We are back with Finn, Chloe, Anita, and Dean for an all out war with Witch Hunters. Yes you read that right, we as a civilized culture step back to the 1600s to have an old fashioned witch hunt. But why you ask? Well that is the story. K.D. continues the fantastic writing that was in the first book. She captures your imagination so you can see what all is going on. I love reading her books. I actually do not finish them in one night!! I miss reading the same book for days!
I have nothing but good things to say about this book! You will love it, if you loved the first one, then this is just going to add to your love! I truly hope that there is a third book! I love the characters and what they become, not only physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.

This is book 2 in the central coven series.
The Inquisition is back after centuries and is creating havoc burning witches on the stake. They are targeting people from the councils realms.
The coven is sent some paranormal refugees but the central coven are not amused as they are happy as they are, without these new people.
Whilst Anita and Dean know they want to spend forever together, Chloe and Finn find themselves still doubtful if they love each other enough to be together forever.
In the new refugees, is Bridgett,who like Finn is an elf but doesn't think a witch should be bonded with an elf especially Finn, who is the one that her parents wanted her to marry to get a better standing.
When two of the coven gets kidnapped its battle stations and so critical they could die.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book. It was so much better than the first. It was fast-paced and easy-to-read. All the problems with the first book seemed to be fixed in the second. I loved that all the coven members formed couples. I loved reconnecting with all the characters and also enjoyed the new characters that were introduced. I was astonished with the growth of the characters. They seemed to really be taking to their roles in their coven. I think this could be a really great series if the author continues to give the coven missions /adventures like the ones encountered in “Burning”. I look forward to reading more by this author, hopefully of this series.
