This sequel to Spellcaster picks up shortly after Nadia, Mateo, and Verlaine saved the town of Captive's Sound from evil witch Elizabeth. In addition to fighting their own inner demons, the teens now must battle Elizabeth and her attractive demon helper. While the magical system Gray creates is fascinating, the characters are rather two-dimensional. Fans of L. J. Smith's Secret Circle books will enjoy this series.
