Deluxe edition with special embellishments on first printing only! 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.

Your rating:
The Witch Hunt is a jaw-dropping sequel. There was never a moment’s rest while reading. It was near impossible to put down.
Plot:
The main character is learning the consequences to her dark magic of the last book. We are taken to beautiful Paris and begin to meet sorcerers and witches from across the Atlantic.
Characters:
In the first book, we meet these characters and fall in love with them. But this second book, we begin to fight for the characters in our heart. They evolved into new humans after the events of last book, but they are not done growing yet.
This book puts the characters magic to the test. But what is even more tested is their friendship, trust, and character.
Romance:
The romance between Frances and Oliver is one of my favorite things about this book. They have stayed together since the last book. Love and trust go hand-in-hand which is a lesson Frances needs to learn throughout this book.
We also get someone vying for Frances’ love that puts our couple to the test.
