Hex You: Sisters of Salem

by P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Overview

Hex You is the third book in the Sisters of Salem series about twin witches from powerhouse duo P.C. and Kristin Cast!

Twin sisters, Mercy and Hunter are witches, direct descendants of the Goode family, the founders of their town. After the murder of their mother at the hands of a foul demon, they have become the protectors of the Gates to different underworlds--ancient portals between their world and realms where mythology rules and the darkest of creatures exist.

Mercy and Khenti are trapped in the Ancient Egyptian Underworld and need Hunter’s help to escape. But while Hunter searches for a way to save them, other evil threatens Goodeville. Amphitrite is still looming–and she wants vengeance against Hunter. With the gates rapidly weakening, Amphitrite lures out a deadly creature and sets it free on the residents of Goodeville. It will take everything in Mercy and Hunter’s power to stop the goddess and seal the gates once and for all.

From the Publisher

2022-10-11
The time of reckoning for twins Hunter and Mercy Goode is here.

The sisters are the latest witches from a long line of guardians in their family who protect the earthly gates to the Underworlds of various mythologies. But the gates have been growing weaker since the death of their mother, and they still have no concrete plan for how to heal them. Now Mercy, trapped in the ancient Egyptian Underworld alongside its protector, Khenti, is relying on her sister to help her. Meanwhile, Hunter is reeling from her power-hungry choices and also dealing with Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, who is a growing threat to their hometown. But before they can save the gates and the citizens of Goodeville from further harm, the sisters first need to mend their broken relationship and find out why it is that their magic is not working to its full potential. This final entry in the Sisters of Salem trilogy examines the relationship between Mercy and Hunter as well as their empowering growth, which also means being held accountable for some terrible choices they made in Omens Bite (2022). But there are many open threads that need closure before the grand finale, some of them involving terrible and potentially fatal dangers, and they lead to an ending that is as bittersweet as it is unsatisfyingly hurried. The twins are White.

A rushed ending to a witchy trilogy. (map) (Fantasy. 14-18)
