I started reading this series when Tyson’s book came out. I waited for Masons book, read it, and was frustrated with Amie’s stubbornness. Therefore, I started reading other books. Now, coming back, I’m a little pissed at myself for not writing better reviews for books 1&2. So, to prepare me for the next book, I’m giving myself some details this time.
This book was long, but I hear the next one is longer. I had to take away a star for that though. I feel like it could’ve still been a great story if we took out some useless details, like describing Cecily’s bathroom on top of the convenience store.
Ok, so Erica (Rikka) is a witch. An impatient one, too eager to learn how to use her powers. She see’s Riley one day, out with his pack, and falls for him. Then, one night, she’s at her aunts house where she decides to drink. Unbeknownst to her, in her haste she picked up spelled wine. The wine allowed her to cast a love spell on Riley. They meet, almost mate, the Supernatural Council Collective finds out and makes her fake her death and spend the next 7 years away from Riley. During that time, Riley suffers tremendously, and he’s absolutely livid when he finds her again. The pack makes Riley and Rikka spend a week locked in together where they eventually work out their problems. Then, Wyatt, the only alpha from another pack, attempts to kidnap Rikka because:
1. the previous witch Wyatt kidnapped (a Starling, like Aviva), escaped.
2. Wyatt’s father was killed by either Tyson or his kidnapper “father”.
3. Because the pack held on to Wyatt’s sister, Stacy, who mates with Grayson.
Rikka ends up saving the day with her magic, saving the lives of 3 pack Alphas.
The SCC comes to explain their part in keeping Rikka and Riley apart for 7 years. One of them that comes, Aviva Starling suggests doing a witch circle in the woods to share Rikka’s power to other covens, and her (Rikka’s) aunt Mimi, to give her more life to live. Aviva is overcome with desire for all the magic, and almost kills, dying in the process.
Wyatt and his underlings show up to cause some shit, he says Sherry, Jase’s bitch sister, is his mate. He kidnaps Jessie (Rikka’s sister), sets a bomb at the barn where they were all celebrating, and at Tyson’s house, putting Ivy in danger. SCC steps in and suggests that Wyatt’s allowed to take his mate, Sherry (bitch), in return for Jessie Young back. Rikka saves the day again, killing all those involved except Sherry, and by extension, Wyatt. Our pack files “charges” against Wyatt’s pack, that are to be dealt with later. Wyatt escapes with Sherry.
At the end, Sergei (vampire, SCC) asks Rikka to help him deter his next mate that’ll happen in 20 years. Vivi says they can’t intervene.
Grayson’s mom, Soliel, also calls him asking to meet and keep it a secret.
