Oh my gosh. This book took me in and kept me sucked in til the end. I read it in one day. I could not put it and down and I was sorry it had to end. Great book to read to your class if you need one for Halloween. Junior High level or High School.

This book is totally awesome. The character of Lilith really shines and the ending just blew me away. Book one was good, but this book shows the author's true talent for story telling. Trust me. You won't be able to put it down.

I'm really surprised by the enthusiastic reviews. This story was okay, but I can tell that it was written by a new author and self-published. It could use a good editing, not only for the spelling (Misses for Missus, psychically for physically) but also for plot and storyline and a relevent resolution. That being said, there is promise with this author and if he continues to write, and gets an editor (even a smart friend or 2), I can see the writing continue to improve. Right now, I would highly recommend this book only to the author's friends and family, who are no doubt proud of his effort!

I have never read anything by this author but plan to get more books from them. I was completely captivated and was thoroughly surprised by the ending. Very few mysteries know how to keep you guessing anymore and this one dead. Well done!

While the plot was very good, the author really allowed for too much convolution.
However the absolute worst, and most difficult aspects of this novel are the spelling errors!!!! A simple proofread by a semi literate person would have picked up on the misspelling of "physical." "Psychical" is not, and probably never will be a word. This aggregious error isn't the only error. Garb vs. grab, apostrophe's where there shouldn't be any, and many missing.
For this author to have written so many books, but to not have a decent editor or spell check program is shameful. I will not be reading any more of her books because I just can't stand the lack of editing.

Fantastic book. Slow moving in some parts as well as hard to understand sometimes. Fantastic finish as well. Very suprising and unexpected. Well worth the time.

This book started out pretty good but I didn't think I would like it. It turns out to be a good story and the ending isn't what I expected. I found it hard to stop reading! It isn't about witchcraft persay but it is entertwined within the story. Enjoy!

What a wonderful mix of genres. A great whodunnit, in which I didn't figure out who did it, with some paranormal thrown in. This book being the second in a series, I don't know if reading the first would of help me or not. Nevertheless, this was a great stand alone. Absolutely loved it! What a perfect ending! Now to go get that first one and see what I missed! Than will read the rest in order…lol

This isn't the type of mystery book I normally read but I really liked the book. I liked the style in which it was written and the characters were also well presented. The relationship of the characters to each other added to the suspense. I will read more by this author.

I haven't as yet read this novel. I merely wished to comment on the review maligning the author's apparent inability to spell and then instead of egregious used a (new) word aggregious. Brava.
