I'm a bit disappointed with this book. Anna is a very strong character, but she did some pretty stupid things. The plot was decent though. I liked reading more of how the witches interact in this world. The main thing that annoyed me was the animosity between her and Williams. It got on my nerves and I couldn't decide who I wanted to slap more. Anna resists fully embracing her supernatural side and Williams is very resentful of that. I can't say I enjoyed the ending. I don't like where the story seems to be heading.

Urban Fantasy by Jeanne C Stein, and Book 5 in the Anna Strong Chronicles. Anna's friend Culabra is dying from a spell cast by a strong Black Witch. Anna races against the clock to stop the witch before he dies. Someone is also killing newly turned vampires, and Anna gets involved in this, too. Anna has ongoing conflict with Williams. Enjoyed the book, even though its been so long since I read the previous books, I don't remember all the history. There's one thing that bothers me, though, a couple of characters mention to Anna that she is special. She's no dummy, so, why doesn't she stop a minute, and ask what that's about? This seems to be the lead-in to the next: Chosen.

This was all right but I liked her earlier books in this series better. Williams annoys me and Anna seems stuck. Hopefully this was a set up for the next one.
