I liked this better than the last one. Katie has really settled in Savannah. She's made her home hers, is very comfortable and settled at her job, and has great friendships with her coven. She and Declan are dating. He wants her to meet his parents (I think in MA? Was it Boston?) and she has found reasons to put it off. Katie is volunteering too at a conservation group.
This starts off when the founder of the conservation group, Georgia Wild, is found murdered. Things escalate when Wren and than Katie are targeted. Something happens with Declan and he steps back from the relationship. By the time the book ends, I think Declan has a new understanding of what Katie is and can do. Katie's mom also comes into town to see her and they begin to repair their relationship. All in all, there was a nice mix of mystery, magic, and relationships in this one. Look forward to the next.
