The aftermath of the ICW massacre has left each side in shambles. As Jason struggles to hold onto his crown in the wake of learning about his own son’s enthrallment to Henri Anderson, the mortals have split between those loyal to the crown and those who wish to overthrow it. Likewise, the immortals are facing a similar predicament with the rise of the Rebel Coven—a group led by Melissa Young that seeks to put an end to Henri’s rule.
Now fourteen, Rebekah Jensen no longer seeks to distance herself from the supernatural world. Such a feat was proven impossible at the ICW, after all. With the division of the immortals, she begins to believe her group finally has a fighting chance, at least until she starts to dream of the Rebel Coven leader and a dystopian world where the humans are enslaved and the mortal magic users are dead.
Enter Andre Robinson, the half-immortal witch whose Spy father tried to kill her many years ago. She has made peace with her past as best as she can. However, when she finds out the Rebel Coven has formed an alliance with her father and that they kidnapped her cousin, Holly, she embarks on a journey with Rebekah and Mandy that forces her to confront her painful past and the man who was at the center of it all.

This book was amazing! It had me hooked from the beginning to the end. I love how details from past books were sprinkled in, jogging my memory. The characters have grown so much, and I enjoy reading the character development. Also, the author does a great job of keeping the character voices consistent. You can truly tell the age of the characters, and I enjoy the fact that Rebekah, Mandy, and Holly are portrayed as the middle schoolers they are, yet they pack a punch when they need to. After reading book one with Roseway, one could think that making it a series would drag out the story, but no. It’s truly enriching, and this world has so much to offer throughout all of the books. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
Book 3 was definitely my favorite! I really enjoyed the character development in this one. You really see them all start to mature and become stronger and individuals and a group as they continue to battle for safety. Definitely moments of heartbreak and sadness in this installment but our author did a great job. Definitely glad I made it to book 3.
