This is the best book in the series so far, in my opinion. There are twists and turns, it is full of action, and as expected from this author, the characters are very complex and deeply developed. The story world is realistic and fun. I am really enjoying this series so far and definitely recommend it!

Madison and her friends continue to unravel the mystery of La Voisin and her heritage. I loved the adventure into New Orleans. It will be interesting to see where Julieta’s path leads. Zandie is a fantastic new addition. This was a good continuation of the series. Full of twists and action. One warning, it does end almost a cliffhanger and will be continued. Otherwise, it’s a page turning adventure. Looking forward to book 4!

Madison is still trying to find a way to help the statues. She is also getting closer to the woman that owns the ritual store. She decides to use the mojo bag that she picked up there. She finally speaks to the statue finds out his name and what she has to do to help him. She realizes she has to tell her friends. Jaxon is the only one that seems to have a problem everything. They decide to do more research on the issue plus help with the Samhain celebration the school has.
Things are really happening fast for Madison, she learns she might be more than an Air witch and her mother is not giving her answers. It will take Madison and her friends to find where to go next.
This book was really good, it just moves a great pace. There so many pieces to the puzzle that they are learning. Things slowly will make sense. I really didn’t go into much detail, as I highly recommend this book/ series.

Very fast paced mystery with three student witches. Madison, Ivy and Krista have found there is a missing coven. The school has not mentioned anything about the Soul coven. The next mystery is the missing kids that have disappeared a few or more each year for the last 150 years. The characters and plot are well developed and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Well written, and compelling characters that I absolutely adore. Madison, and her friends, ivy and Krista, discover the way to break the curse that turned witches into the stone statues lies in the Soule Coven’s book of shadows. Unfortunately, in order to find its location will involve using blood magic, which is strictly forbidden.
Lots of magic, some suspense, some answers to the mysterious disappearance of previous, and even a current student, with plenty of surprising, as well as unexpected twists in the plot. I think this is a fantastic, must read series, and I loved this book.
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
This is a series. Each book that I have read you could read as a stand alone book. I liked this one because there is a lot of questions and a lot of answers. The characters are good and I enjoyed reading the book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I would highly recommend it.

This is book three in the series and it’s my favorite. Madison, Kristy, Iva and Jaxon are back at La Voisin. Madison is now talking to her stutter, aka Damon, who is trying to get her to find a book on Spirit Witches (which aren’t supposed to exist). She needs to save Damon and the other statues, as well as Zoey, her roommate from book two.
Lots of fun twists and turns. I can’t wait for book 4.

This is book three in a saga and I am enjoying the continuing story.
Found this book especially good as we get a lot more information for Madison and her friends when trying to solve this mystery.
The twists in the story keep you intrigued and wanting them to find the next solution to their problems.
There are also plenty of surprises thrown in too.
Looking forward to book four.

The school is hiding a massive secret and if all goes well it will be revealed.
First let me state that I received an advanced reader copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Wow!!! This mystery is getting better and better. The girls are finding out more and more things, but then something gets added to the mystery. I can’t wait to read the next story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Great story of friendship and betrayal. Madison is making great strides towards becoming a powerful witch. Her friends, Ivy and Krista, are supporting her as she looks for a way to restore Damon and save Zoey.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
We left Madison in a strange vision of the past, where she encountered Damon, the “Statue Man”! What will he have to share with Madison? Can he give her the answers to who the statues are, and what happened to them? With La Voisin, and its students, shrouded in mystery, Madison is searching for answers everywhere. Not only is she looking into the mystery of the school and the statues, but she’s got a lot going on herself. Jaxon seems to be on Madison’s side, but he’s started to act strangely. Zoey is still missing, and Madison is determined to help her as well. While trying to learn more about magic and control her powers, can Madison juggle it all and survive the year?
I was so excited to finally read about Damon, and what he may share with Madison about how he became a statue on school grounds. You feel everything she feels as soon as you reach the first page. There’s so much anxiety as Madison races against time to find her answers, and frustration as she has to fight against a number of the adults meant to help her. As the mysteries build they slowly connect more and more, and I cannot wait to see what comes next! This series is so well-written, with amazing development of the characters and storyline.

Madison, Kristy, Iva and Jaxon are all back in the third book of the series. It left off with Madison speaking to Damon in a dream. He tells her to find a certain grimoire from another bloodline that were Spirit witches. The girls go to see Gillian and she helps them interpret and acquire some stuff for the spell. The spell comes from a very dangerous book of blood magic. They keep getting closer to understanding what happened to the missing students…only someone is trying to stop them…is it someone they know? How will things end this time? I received this via Booksprout and am leaving a voluntary review.
