About this ebook
The heart-stopping conclusion to the trilogy that’s “a mix between Supernatural and Pretty Little Liars . . . The Key certainly packs the biggest punch” (Culturefly).
The final installment of the Engelsfors Trilogy—an international sensation with rights sold in twenty-nine countries—The Key combines thrilling action and dark magic with all the passion and drama of teen life. The result is nothing less than explosive.
By the end of the second book, Fire, only the Chosen Ones remain as the last defense against the mysterious, demonic forces that have been plaguing Engelsfors.
The Chosen Ones are still coming to terms with their loss when evil strikes again, barely a month after the showdown in the school gym. They have no chance to recover, and no choice but to rally together to try to prevent the apocalypse—even while their personal dramas threaten to tear them apart.
Time is running out for the Chosen Ones to fulfil the prophecy and save the world, but whether they succeed or not, one thing is certain: Everything will change.
“With nods to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and a mix of slow-burn character development with breathless episodes of intense action, this volume will entice teens to read the first book in this captivating series.” —School Library Journal
“When the prophesied apocalypse finally descends, watching the Chosen Ones shed their petty concerns to come together as a team of truly formidable heroines is worth the wait.” —The Horn Book
“The closer puts its small-town teen ensemble through the wringer.” —Kirkus Reviews

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The third book of the trilogy was very much similar to the previous two. Interesting, exciting, overwriten and sometimes a bit too much YA. If you loved the previous books you`ll love this too. The hungarian translation still subpar.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Have I ever read a more perfect trilogy?
No. I have not. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Only a few weeks have passed since the final events of ”Eld”, and the remaining witches of the Circle are still staggering to cope with losses, death and the desperate upholding of illusion. Engelsfors is now not only a rather drab little town, but, a place where the frequency of tragedy is getting harder and harder to ignore, even for regular people. Something is just not right, everybody is starting to feel it. And the Chosen Ones get no time to rest – signs start to show that the apocalypse is coming fast, the Council are now not only red-taping them down but actively and aggressively working against them, the Demons’ Blessed escapes from her prison. And fairly soon Minoo is forced to make an impossible choice, straining loyalty to the maximum. Watching from the mists of the borderlands however, are forces trying to make contact. But will they get through in time? Does it even matter?Also, while the occult events move towards a shattering climax, the “normal side” of teenage life of the girls is also at an all time low. A parent dies. Linnea is going to trial for the assault she was the victim of and is forced to realize that almost all her school is on the side of the culprits. Vanessa sees her involvement in the Circle pulling her further and further way from her friends. A love story is killed by cowardice and old ghosts. An alcoholic falls off the wagon. As before, one of the real talents of Elfgren and Strandmark is making these parts as engaging, nailbiting and horrific as the magic battles. This is a dark book at times, and even more often a very sad one.Tying all knots together in this epic battle for world control, spanning the universe and thousands of years, is a tall order. But, despite sometimes having to resort to the “sit down and I will tell you the whole story from the beginning” trope a few times, they succeed admirably. And even manage to make the very conclusion of this trilogy feel worthy where it could so easily have fallen flat. Four days and 817 pages later, I feel reluctant to say goodbye to this group of flawed, struggling, hard-working teenage witches. They feel like real people to me, and I wish them all the best. I can’t wait to put them into the hands of my kids when they grow older.
