One of those dazes where your wondering what the hell is going on? Where's the action? Oh hell no, not another love triangle!! Where the hell did all the characters go? I would really like some detail and better descriptions right now. I soon came to despise myself for these horrible misconceptions, and because of them, spent most of the story in a confused daze. And that is what this book ended up being for me, a crush. We all fall prey to this at some time or another playing a book up to be something better than we know it is before we've even read it. Like many of us have done with other novels, I allowed myself to become blinded by it's amazing cover and become intrigued by it's summary. The total sum of my feelings right now concerning this book can only be described using one word.ĭisappointment. Xandra doesn’t want to believe that Declan is capable of murder, but as the body count mounts, and Xandra’s own powers spiral out of control, she’s not sure she can trust her own instincts… And when her own powers awaken one night and lead her to the body of a woman in the woods bearing the symbol of Isis-the same one that has marked Xandra since the day she met Declan-she’s filled with a terrible suspicion, soon confirmed: the woman is connected to him. Xandra hasn’t seen Declan in years, and though she’s still overwhelmed by his power, she doesn’t trust him.

While things aren’t perfect, Xandra is happy-until she runs into powerful warlock Declan Chumomisto. While she hasn’t lived up to her family’s expectations, Xandra has come to terms with her latent magic and made a life for herself in Austin, Texas, running a coffee shop where she makes potions of a non-magical nature. But things don’t always turn out like you expect… As the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter-and a member of Ipswitch’s Royal family-Xandra Morgan should be a witch of incredible power.
