Oh wow, I finished two thirds of this series. It was kind of interesting to see Kate's santeria adventure and the invocation. I had hoped to see more of the other girls' non-wiccan sidequests instead of all the teenage drama, but then again, that is what the genre is. I do think that there should be a Netflix adaptation for this series.

Loved it. I forget how charming these little high school books are about friends learning about alternative religious paths. It was a welcome break and a perfect start to summer.
I enjoy that the author does try to catch you up a little about background information in case you haven't read the other 9 books. I have, but you forget over the years.

Enjoyable, rather low-key read.

Annie is still attracted to TJ and talks to him alone, supposedly to apologize for having kissed him.
The girls have to study other systems as part of their Wiccan work. Kate studies Santeria, and the other two girls study Celtic shamanism and Norse mythology.
The Annie/Tyler/Kate triangle is still there and recurs throughout the book.
Evelyn LeJarden is a Santeria priestess and refers to the orishas, “the spirits who make things possible” and who are to be kept happy.
The woman explains similarities and differences between Santeria and Wicca.
Tyler kisses Annie.
Kate, Cooper and Annie attend a Santeria ceremony. At the ceremony, some people have spirits enter them, and one of the spirits says Kate has come to him.
A friend of Cooper's named Jane helps her through a guided meditation to find a totem animal. It seems to be an Owl.
Cooper finds out her parents are going to get a divorce.
Annie and Tyler agree to stop their relationship. Kate goes to the Santeria place and Papa Oggun is called upon and gives her a necklace to give her more self-confidence.
Kate figures out what is going on. Kate plays some Santeria-type music and calls upon Papa Oggun, saying she wants Annie and Tyler to be punished. Soon after, Annie gets a bad cut while working at the nursing home.
In the end, Tyler, Annie and Kate have “the talk.”
An interesting novel from the Santeria viewpoint, and the Tyler/Annie/Kate thing, although at times almost boring, does figure into the overall theme.

Kate, Cooper and Annie are given a task by the Wiccan classes to learn about other religions. Annie is spending a lot of time with Tyler Kate's boyfriend as her family are still not happy that she is involved with Wicca, Annie ends up kissing Tyler, Cooper's parents split up. Another excellent read.

Another cool and easy to read book. Wasn't expecting Kate reacting like that, but at least she was conscious enough to make the right decision when it came to what happened to Annie. That was very good.

Each character is put on a path to explore a different kind of paganism and other paths outside of Wicca. Great way to keep in mind that there are other paths surrounding paganism. Really enjoyed this book.

It was really good! But I’m going to keep it short and simple… what Annie and Tyler did to Kate is fucked up! Period. Annie and Tyler are cowards. If I were Kate I would have removed them from my life. The trust has been lost, and there’s no way I would have been able to trust them again.

Oh, white people. Is there nothing we can't culturally appropriate?
