Shattered Reflections
Something is hunting witches in California. It started with her neighbor.
The old woman liked to collect magical artifacts. Harmless trinkets, she said. Until the night she disappeared, leaving only ransacked rooms and blood on the carpet.
Jo Locket knows she should stay out of it. She has a school to run, students to protect, and enough problems being an excommunicated witch in a world that doesn't forgive. When the deputy asks for her help, when more collectors vanish, when an entire coven dies in Salem, Jo can't look away.
Someone is systematically targeting anyone connected to magical artifacts. They move like smoke. They kill without hesitation. They're getting closer.
Jo has something they an ancient mirror that fills her dreams with darkness, that pulls at her mind even through protective wards. She doesn't know what it does. She only knows her mother died hiding it, and now people are dying to possess it.
The ley lines under Mount Shasta are stirring. Shadows move where shadows shouldn't exist. The mirror's call grows stronger every night.
When the hunters finally come for Jo, will she be ready for what steps out of the darkness? Or will she discover that some doors, once opened, can never be closed?

Now this… This is NEW!
I am more than a bit taken aback as I sit here, having just finished this book. If this were an instant response to the book’s final scene, one might describe this feeling as “jaw dropping.“ And while that, too, is actually applicable in this case, it is not to that which I am referring. That is kind of an instantaneous response, whereas I am talking about a feeling that has been building since I began this series, and it all comes to a rather painful head in this installment.
This book is… not “darker,” per se, but definitely much more “gritty,” than I have come to expect from Isabel. Perhaps one could call it more “real.” As with all of her writing, Isabel wraps us up in the characters’ feelings in response to the many events that fill up this very small space, and there is a LOT of that. So many things transpire and so much is brought up and out that the feelings become almost tangible as one reads.
And now that I think about it, I ask you, could I ever give this book a better endorsement than that? I really don’t think so. So, I am going to stop while I’m ahead and address the “series issue.”
As a matter of course, I usually encourage people to read series’ installments in order because a story ALWAYS reads better with context. However, if you are a potential new reader I WILL say that this book would be an excellent entry point into the series. It will of course offer a few spoilers when you do go back to read the earlier books, but I can see it also making them more fun. This installment can easily stand on its own and I guarantee whether as a start to the series or your next step with Jo and the gang, you WILL enjoy!

This book started pretty close to the end of the last book. It is summertime at Jo’s school so some of her residents have gone on vacation. Jo’s neighbor has gone missing along with the artifacts that she collects. Then the coven that Jo came from goes missing as well. Even though she doesn’t really want to Jo ends up getting involved in looking for her coven and also another coven that collects artifacts. There was definitely a lot of action in this book and I can’t wait until the last book in this series.

Getting intense
Most of Jo's students have gone home for the summer and she has plans to get caught up at the school and do some training with a few of the teachers and students that are still there. Then thieves start stealing artifacts and things spin way out of control. The series is really starting to get intense, with mysteries to figure out and lots of action and dark magic being thrown around. I am impatiently waiting for the next book to see what happens.

Story Good, but to Drawn out this Book
I am enjoying this Series, but thos particular book seem to drawn out and I just keep wanting to skip ahead to get to the meat of the story. I will probably continue reading this series and hopefully it will return to how it was written in previous books.

This is starting to become a bore of a series. It seems to be expanded on so just to make the word count go up. The story being told can be told with fewer words to tell the same story. Usually I call the long winded.
