The more Madison finds out about the disappearance of the Soule family, the more dangerous that knowledge becomes for her and her La Voisin friends. First things first, Madison needs the Soule Grimoire, which she hopes will contain a spell that will free the coven trapped in the stone statues. But, it is Madison, and her best friend Julieta, who are going after the grimoire. Unfortunately, the skrying spell used to locate the grimoire, points towards New Orleans. New Orleans is not welcoming to the witches from the north, and just happens to be the home of very powerful practitioners of voodoo, one of whom was entrusted with keeping the Soule Grimoire safe.
Absolutely wonderful, compelling, and beautifully well written characters trying to discover the truth that a powerful witch would prefer remains hidden. Fast paced, and magic packed plot with unexpected, and sometimes surprising twists. I couldn’t put this book down.

Having enrolled at La Voisin hoping to learn how t control her magic, Madison is still searching for the Soule Grimoire but so far she is finding murder mysteries in the supernatural community -the problem is if she digs into this even more danger and she risks being expelled or even killed. However the largest mystery is what has happened to the Soule Coven – so she has to go to New Orleans and try to find their grimoire. In the end, it ends up being Madison’s best friend from the mundane world who helps her retrieve the book with the help of a Voodoo Priestess. But retrieving the grimoire is only half the battle. As Madison and her friends’ race to save the Soule Coven before those imprisoning them realise their plot has been uncovered, they soon learn the villainous history of La Voisin runs much deeper than they ever thought.
Wow, this was an action-packed story where Madison made some new allies and learnt more about her powers. I liked the dynamic between Madison and her friends (both supernatural and mundane) snd how those relationships developed even with the events they navigated through. Well written it was easy to read and understand. I enjoyed the story a great deal and it certainly finished on a cliff hanger so I definitely NEED to know what happens next.

Madison and her friends have finally found Zoey, and need to find a way to save her. Luckily, Zoey, Damon, and the other statues are all tied together. It’s becoming more and more obvious that the school, and at least some of the teachers, have played a major role in everything that has happened. The next step is for Madison to head to New Orleans, to hopefully find the next piece of the puzzle.
We get to see Madison in her hometown once again, and hear from Julieta! One thing I love about this series is the positive female relationships. Even with everything going on, the relationships don’t fall into the stereotypical pettiness. They stay supportive of each other, and productively work through their issues. It’s nice that the storyline isn’t being weighed down by that kind of thing.
It’s definitely a well written book, and the story keeps you engaged from start to finish!

Madison plans on heading to New Orleans with Ivy and Krista, but things come up and they can’t join her. While visiting her mom, her friend Julieta comes over and they re-connect. The two head to New Orleans, and boy what a trip. So much happens, and I don’t want to spoil it. I enjoyed the ride through this book so much, and was sad when it ended. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Everything went fine for the first several chapters, then BOOM, the bottom dropped out. The next few chapters are still rather tense but soon the tension levels out to one which I am comfortable with. The story, as expected, ends in yet another cliffhanger for the series.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
Madison, Krista and Ivy are at a dead end. They have no path forward, except to try a spell from the blood magic book for guidance. When the spell is executed, it directs them to New Orleans…. Where dangers and revelations await…
“A plague?” Zandie asks, a bitter laugh in her tone. “It wasn’t a plague, Madison,” she says. “It was a massacre.”
But when the time comes to go to New Orleans, Madison must make the trip alone, unless… Madison meets up with her friend Julieta, who insists on accompanying Madison on her quest. Once Madison and Julieta arrive in New Orleans, danger once again threatens Madison and Julieta. An unlikely savior appears, and spirits Madison and Julieta off the see the Mambo, whose mystical connections eclipse anything Madison has ever seen…
“Marie needed to know you would be willing to go the distance to save Damon, and you proved yourself to her. If I had told you what to expect, your willingness to sacrifice yourself wouldn’t have meant enough. You should be proud.” – Zandie
More questions than answers are left When Madison and Julieta leave New Orleans. Visions of Hecate, dire warnings, and the insidious, creeping sense of overwhelming evil nearly overcomes her, yet Madison is determined to discover the truth…. The truth of the Soule coven….
“LadyofStars folds up her cards and looks at the camera. “I’m getting a specific message for you, Madison.” I hold my breath. “You have to let go of the future you thought you were going to have,” she says.” – LadyofStars to Madison
Another haunting, captivating tale, one that will leave your head spinning and you gasping!
Book four to this saga continues for Madison and her friends and it doesn’t disappoint.
Madison reconnects with her best friend from book 1 and more mystery ensues.
There is so much action and excitement in this one.
Betrayal, new discoveries and some secrets exposed.
But with each new twist we are being drawn into their journey as it heads to its conclusion.
I was totally hooked and after the cliffhanger… cannot wait for the next book.

Madison and her best friend Julieta go to New Orleans in search of the Soule Grimoire. After a nasty altercation, they are led to the leader of the Voudon religion. She helps them find the grimoire. Unfortunately, that is only the beginning of their problems. After going back to the school, Madison, Krista and Ivy search for answers to the statues and don’t like what they find. The problem is now bigger, but they do seem to find who is responsible for everything. How to stop that person is now the biggest problem.
This is the third installment in the Academy of the Damned series and I can’t wait to read the next! Following Madison as she learns more about her own powers and the incredibly evil goings on at La Voisin Academy still keep me on the literal edge of my seat. It has swept me into the story and I feel involved with the main characters. Great writing and story telling!

There was so much action and mystery and excitement I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next I read this whole book in one night.
