About this audiobook
The lush and pulse-pounding sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Witch Haven “sparkles with magic” (Kirkus Reviews) as it follows Frances and her fellow witches to the streets of Paris where family secrets, lost loves, and dangerous powers await.
Months after the devastating battle between the Sons of St. Druon and the witches of Haxahaven, Frances has built a quiet, safe life for herself, teaching young witches and tending the garden within the walls of Haxahaven Academy. But one thing nags: her magic has begun to act strangely. When an opportunity to visit Paris arises, Frances jumps at the chance to go, longing for adventure and seeking answers about her power.
Once she and her classmates Maxine and Lena reach the vibrant streets of France, Frances learns that the spell she used to speak to her dead brother has had terrible consequences—the veil between the living and the dead has been torn by her recklessness, and a group of magicians are using the rift for their own gain at a horrifying cost.
To right this wrong, and save lives and her own magical powers, Frances must hunt down answers in the parlors of Parisian secret societies, the halls of the Louvre, and the tunnels of the catacombs. Her only choice is to team up with the person she swore she’d never trust again, risking further betrayal and her own life in the process.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly.. what a beautiful and haunting ending... haunted by the one she loves and hates who helped and comdemed her
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first book but it was really good. I hate that Finns character, after so much growth, just feels as though he's receded. I also hate that even in Frances' ending it to me isn't really a happy ending... Although in terms of the previous book, this ending makes sense, it's just not what I was hoping for. I hope there's another book or at least a short story, to explore the final chapter a little more and (without ruining the ending for those who haven't read it) puts THAT chapter of fances' life to rest once and for all. Because I think after all the events and occurrences in both books, it's something she deserves. I also love how this book turned out for her mom, Maxine and Lena. I think this book did their stories more justice than it did Frances.
