Oleander
There is a fine line between truth and magick.
At the age of thirteen, most young witches are being groomed to enter a Coven; not getting ready to Ascend. Which is why Alexandria Ryder wants no distractions from her magick or her mentor when a vision reveals a potent summer on the horizon. Then Matthew Graham walks into her life, setting her senses on edge. Even her magick doesn’t know how to handle the new emotions he evokes, and her control begins to slip.
When the Ascension passes, however, everything changes. While the power around her grows, a devastating loss threatens to tear her world apart. Embroiled in events that have found her guilty in the court of public opinion, Lex has to learn the hard way that truth may be a matter of perception.

Oleander was more technically well written than Ivy, but I felt that it lacked the emotional attachment that I found in Ivy that made me worry about Lex's future.
I did like it, just personally as a reader I am very character driven, and I was not as worried about Lex's fate as I was in Ivy. The quality of writing most certainly had improved from Ivy.
