Two years have passed since Abigail Blanque’s life was changed forever. After suffering a great loss, she fed into her darkness and pain, killing every rogue vampire within her reach. Abby finds herself marked by an evil ancestor hell-bent on returning from her talisman-encased prison. She needs Abby’s soul in order to rise again. Meanwhile, something sinister is happening in New Orleans. An … Orleans. An unidentified dark force is taking over hybrids and other supernaturals, but no one knows who’s bringing the malevolent black magic forth and it’s set its sights on Abby.
It’s a race against time and it’s up to Abby, her sister Elizabeth, and trusted friends to stop this evil before it wreaks havoc within the city.
The Darkness has been awakened.

I had read the prequel to this series, so I was already introduced to this world with a story I really liked. However, I really liked this first book in the series so much more. I really liked getting to know Elizabeth and another character towards the end of the book better than in the prequel. Danny really didn’t change much from the first book aside from a little problem at the beginning which I’ll get to. I really liked the plot of this book, and the humor really was a nice touch. Action also kept the words flowing smoothly, and the end was spectacular. I have to admit that I did find Abby a little too immature at times, but she is fairly young and has been through a lot. And, when we saw Danny through Abby’s eyes at the beginning, I didn’t like him very much even after really liking him in the prequel. However, this all passed, and by the end, I couldn’t wait to read the next one. If you like YA/NA romance with a little mystery thrown in, you’ll love this! Recommend!!
I love to read fiction when I can find hidden gems of truth as well as reality and faith
disguised as action taken by the protagonists
Raging Inferno is such a book. Delightful magic laced with combatting the dark sides of humanity, and I loved the message that these witches use God as their mentor and the strength to upgrade their powers.
Talk of the white light, God’s help to defeat the demons brought on a cheer from me.
Abigail Blanque and her sister, Liz, short for Elizabeth, grew up in New Orleans in a family where magic is common knowledge and common practice.
Her sister has a sword that will send evil spirits back to the light to be reprogrammed, while Abbi also has powers, more than she even knows she possesses.
Angela Sanders does a beautiful job of revealing the story to us in drum-beating action, as well as adding a swell of familiar, tender moments between Abbi and her family, and Abbi and her beau, Danny. I defy anyone to read on and not to imagine themselves holding the key to all the same powers. At times, the story will tear you apart, More often, you will find the life we all know going on around this family, while they perform their extraordinary feats.
I thoroughly enjoyed every hour spent behind the pages of this book, and highly recommend it to you all.
I am awaiting the second book with trepidation. It will be a pleasure to read.
Constant action, plot twists and a little sexy love thrown in. Good witches against evil demons and vampires. What more could you want, than the next book in the series?
This is a mix of magic and faith, not what I was expecting at all. I usually avoid anything faith-based as I feel it can exclude readers of differing or no faith. However, this blended quite well and didn’t come across as preachy at all, more an image of a family who use their faith to shore up their magical defences.
Abbi is on a not-so-slow-road to destruction. After the loss of her best friend, she hits the alcohol hard. This is affecting her magical abilities and hinders her fight against rogue vampires. Her sister, Liz, has this cool sword of God but Abbi doesn’t seem to care about expanding her skills. Add in Danny. Ex-boyfriend, a good friend but a reminder of everything she has lost. man, Abbi is mean to that boy. He’s like a puppy, he just keeps loving her even when she is downright nasty to him!
There is a great mix of family, found family, and allies. Deeply comical moments (Karaoke anyone?) with the deeply profound and emotional. Delphine is not an ancestor I’d want to lay claim to either.
I’d definately be happy to read the next book in the series.
A fast paced, full of adventure, packed with magic at the ready. This book was great, loved the dynamics between the characters, their genuine love for each other, the way they all have each other’s back. I also found them relatable, likeable, real people/witches. There’s true commitment to each other.
It was nice not knowing what was to come, I couldn’t predict what was going to happen every step of the way. Boy they have a really nasty, mean to smart for her own good relative, who’s dyeing to wreak havoc. That demon wasn’t any picnic either, nor the many other things that happened yikes!! Just another day in a witches life. A truly all around great book. Wish I had magic 🙂 You like full throttle, like something always happening, like witches, fighting, great characters, mystery look no further. It’s all here.
