From New York Times bestselling
and award-winning author Claribel A. Ortega: The third bookin the spellbinding
Witchlings series!

.

It’s been months since the end of the
Golden Frog Games, and a cure for the hex that turned young witches to stone
still hasn’t been found. Seven and Thorn want nothing more than to find a way
to heal their friends, but everything they try ends in failure.

.

When the Black Moon Ceremony arrives
earlier than expected, Seven and Thorn take it as a chance to welcome any new
Spares into their coven. But rather than welcoming a few Spares like they
thought, all the witchlings in the ceremony are chosen to
enter the Spare coven!

.

The new Spares are met with anger
from the Hill Society. They create more unfair laws that ban Spares from using
magic and being equals in Twelve Towns society! On top of all that, Spares
start disappearing. And no one seems to care.

.

As Seven and Thorn struggle to find a
cure for the stone hex and to stop the Twelve Town’s unfair treatment of Spares
once and for all, they discover a piece of hidden history that will change
everything-if they can get anyone to listen to them.

MY REVIEW

Such a magical, fun read. There was magic, witches, danger, silliness and fun characters. I started reading this on a Saturday morning and my cuppa hot tea was cold when I finished. Read it straight through. And had a smile on my face.

The cover is bold and exciting. And I love the fun illustrations at the beginning of the chapters.

This was my first foray into the Witchlings series and I had so much fun. I easily jumped into the series without having read the prior books and it would be great to go back and read from the beginning. Whether you are a young reader or an adult, you’ll have a blast with it.

4 STARS
