Not one of my favorites (hence the 4 stars), but I really enjoyed it overall. Not a book to be taken very seriously or to analyze in-depth (it'll leave you disappointed if that's the way you decide to approach it). Easy afternoon read and pleasantly enjoyable if the "witchy" genre is your thing. We almost made it. We got through two hundred and fifty five glom-free pages ... But then, three lines into page 256, it begins. The first "glom" of the book, but not the last. I really thought it was going to happen. I thought that there was a chance that de la Cruz had actually written a book without that icky-feeling word. Alas, it was not to be. And, yo, what's the deal with the sudden mention of your other series toward the end of this book? (Page 239, to be annoyingly specific) Vampires (and not just vampires, but specifically Blue Bloods) suddenly mentioned by the pixies? Those worlds don't match now. Too much time has been spent not mentioning vampires to casually drop that line in. As Sven tells us, "... That's another story." Yes, yes it is. And you please remember it. I don't think these characters would not make good crossover fodder. I enjoyed the book, but I think the first is still my favorite. Parts of this volume were a bit choppy. I did like the history aspect of the book though and seeing what things were like back in Salem. I wish we'd gotten to see more into the character Freddie. I feel like we barely grazed the surface of who he was and then it was over. I like how things ended for Freya and Ingrid but I can't say I'm happy with the endings for Freddie, Joanna or Norman. And I wish some questions that were raised in book 2 would have been addressed prior to the ending of the series. All in all, if you're a fan of the series you will enjoy it, so give it a read. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Modern-day witch Freya Beauchamp is cast back in time to 1692 amongst the Salem Witch Trials by an enemy spell, as her present-day family attempts to reopen the passages of time to bring her home. Freya Beauchamp is trapped in 1692, in Salem of all places, with no recollection of her past. A powerful enemy spell has sent her spiraling away so that she is separated by centuries from her mother, Joanna, and sister, Ingrid. This is not good news for a twenty-first-century witch. Not to mention the immediate threat she faces from the wealthy and influential Putnam family. When little Annie Putnam is one of the first to make accusations of witchcraft, her landowner father jumps at the opportunity to consolidate his power and expand his holdings in Puritan Salem Town. If Freya is caught using magic, she will be forced to relive the witch trials, and this time, even her immortality is in question. Meanwhile, twenty-first-century North Hampton has its own snares. Joanna and Norm consult the Oracle for advice, and Freddie and his pixie allies search for a missing totem that could reopen the passages of time and help bring his sister home. When Ingrid bumps into an old flame, she finds that her new love for Detective Matt Noble is in doubt. Moving between past and present, the plot is filled with twists and suspense.

This was an enjoyable book. I went and got the DVD of the first season when I read the book. Now I need to read the earlier books in the series and also watch the second season on dvd. ( )
