Hawkins's series about a Southern high school overachiever balancing beauty pageant rehearsals with supernatural powers continues. This time, Harper (Rebel Belle) must undergo three trials to prove her worth to serve as Paladin and protector to her boyfriend, David, the Oracle. Deceptions complicate the plot and lead to an unexpected--and unpersuasive--ending, but fans of Harper and David will enjoy their return.
