The Witch Hunt
Book Info:
Genre: Young Adult Historical Fantasy
Publishing Date: October 11, 2022
Synopsis:
The lush and pulse-pounding sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Witch Haven follows Frances and her fellow witches to the streets of Paris where family secrets, lost loves, and dangerous magic await.
Months after the devastating battle between the Sons of St. Druon and the witches of Haxahaven, Frances has built a quiet, safe life for herself, teaching young witches and tending the garden within the walls of Haxahaven Academy. But one thing nags; her magic has begun to act strangely. When an opportunity to visit Paris arises, Frances jumps at the chance to go, longing for adventure and seeking answers about her own power.
Once she and her classmates Maxine and Lena reach the vibrant streets of France, Frances learns that the spell she used to speak to her dead brother has had terrible consequences—the veil between the living and the dead has been torn by her recklessness, and a group of magicians are using the rift for their own gain at a horrifying cost.
To right this wrong, and save lives and her own magical powers, Frances must hunt down answers in the parlors of Parisian secret societies, the halls of the Louvre, and the tunnels of the catacombs. Her only choice is to team up with the person she swore she’d never trust again, risking further betrayal and her own life in the process.
My review - I liked The Witch Hunt a bit more than I liked The Witch Haven. In The Witch Haven, Frances seemed stupidly innocent and it was slow at times. I actually like that she now has trust issues and that this book was shorter than the first. It was more enjoyable and we got to see more of my favorite side characters, Maxine and Lena. I'd like to see them all grow more though, and Fin's plot line feels unfinished, but this doesn't really set itself up for a third book which I really want to see. The love triangle was a big focus again. I'd recommend if you like the first one and character redemption arcs.
