We have mystery. Maeve made it out of the catacombs where the plague lives. Who sent her there? What do they want? Can she trust Devon? Can she trust Toby? Is is someone in S&S? Who is trying to set them free? Why are they after her? Will she survive?

My extreme patience awaiting the publication of this the fifth novel of Michael Pierce’s Spellcrest Academy series finally paid off. This book follows Maeve thru many conundrums. First, her back and forth feelings for Devon, then her determination to solve the mystery of Headmistress Christi’s disappearance; also, what happened to her soul crystal, how did it get hexed? Then, what happened to her during the Skulls and Spells game and what happened to Headmaster Bronze; how did the plague of Spellcrest get released? (Almost uncannily apropos during this time of COVID19 outbreaks.) These and a few more issues are addressed in this book. Mr. Pierce masterfully wove these issues at just the right times, solved some of them and created others for his characters. The many surprises he created blindsided me at times and at other times reinforced my suspicions. I love Maeve as a character. I recognize her in many people I have known throughout my own life. Also, I appreciated his comparison of some of the cities in this book to Los Angeles and San Francisco, two cities I have visited many times. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book. It was not only captivating but increased my appetite for more. I shall be starving for more until the next book in this series reaches my palate.
This book starts right after last book ended. And right from the beginning, this book grabs and holds your attention. And, unlike the previous book, Devon makes more appearances. No spoiler alerts. There is also more family time with Maeve and her parents. And the secretive S&S group. And so much more. I am exhausted because I just finished reading/listening to the book.
The whole magic existence is really fascinating. It makes me want to be there, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world. And the different relationships that Maeve has at Spellcrest Academy seem so real, I would like to be friends with them, too. So far no one has found out about what happened to Headmistress Chryisti. But the news Headmaster seems to be getting closer to the truth. And Maeve, being the good person that she is, has a lot of guilt and fear relating to her part in it. Especially Devon finding out her part in his mother’s death.
Marie’s fellow candidates for S&S prove to be a bunch of jerks, only caring about themselves getting to the initiation. And the main jerk is Garrett. And then there is Dawn. The way everyone acts like she is beyond suspicion for her part in the attempted murder of Maeve and Razielle is frustrating. Even her own mother has doubts. But the various plots keep you wanting to read this entire book in one setting. Then you come to the inevitable cliffhanger of the book and you have to wait, patiently, for the next book to come out. Luckily, you can read the previous books all over again while you are “patiently” waiting for the end of year two at Spellcrest Academy. Heavy sigh.
I received an ARC of this e-book to read and write an honest review. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series.
