Summary
Sorrow Point High's witchiest have returned in this conclusion to the thrilling B*Witch duology—and this time， the danger is even closer to home。
Two rival covens， led by frenemies Greta and Div， are investigating a radical anti-magic faction—the New Order—for the murder of a sister witch。 In fact， Div and her coven mate Mira are pretend-dating a couple of New Order members to infiltrate it and bring it down for good。 But when the president of the United States aligns himself with the dangerous group and local police ramp up their search for suspected witches， the covens must be more careful than ever。
Even outside of politics， complications abound as Iris and the new witch， Torrence， fight for Greta's affections。。。and Ridley can't get over her crush on a dead girl。。。and Binx's own crush turns out to be harboring deadly secrets。
If the covens wish to solve their friend's murder and protect their kind， they'll have to rise above their problems， big and small。 But as they grow closer to the truth， one thing becomes certain—trust no witch。

For the first 3/4 of this book， I had this mentally rated at a solid 3 stars。 The characters were more developed than they were in the first book and there were genuine stakes to the political and personal situations that were developing。 While some of the plot lines made this book that was less than 300 pages feel a bit overstuffed， they weren't unforgiveable in the grand scheme of things。 They could have been taken out and nothing integral would have vanished from the story （so， they were adde For the first 3/4 of this book， I had this mentally rated at a solid 3 stars。 The characters were more developed than they were in the first book and there were genuine stakes to the political and personal situations that were developing。 While some of the plot lines made this book that was less than 300 pages feel a bit overstuffed， they weren't unforgiveable in the grand scheme of things。 They could have been taken out and nothing integral would have vanished from the story （so， they were added just to create more drama and make this feel a bit more like a literature version of a CW series， I guess）， but they didn't make the story worse。 But then we got to the final 40 pages。 And my GOD。。。it was bad。 The ending was just a visualization of every trope I dislike in witch stories。 Witch powers are seemingly unlimited and yet we're made to believe for almost two whole novels that these witches have any reason to be worried about anything in life？ Check。 Main characters think of crossing the morality line and killing people and no one ever points out to them that this is unacceptable？ Check。 Love potions used as a plot device？ Check。 Major problem that no one could find a way around is solved by a spell that no one had talked about in the previous 400 pages of story？ Check。 Last minute conceived villain gives away their entire plan for no apparent reason？ Check。 Oh， and the worst sin: bringing a character back from the dead with no real repercussions。 Check。 Look， I get it。 You want to give the witch characters a happy ending， but all you did was consistently eradicate any mortal or emotional stakes readers had invested in your story。 I like happy endings， but they have to be earned。 No one here did anything that made me feel like they were people I should be rooting for。This series had a lot of potential。 It made interesting social commentary on the uneasy atmosphere felt by minority groups during President 45's oppressive regime。 It brought LGBTQIA+ representation to the forefront of a mass produced YA novel （although， the Ace representation was conspicuously absent， but that's a rant for another day）。 But it consistently lacked follow through on the interesting ideas it was bringing up。 Several characters think about how they believe witches are better than humans and other members of the coven think to themselves that this mentality is not going to help matters。 But they NEVER bring this up to the people making the comments， so we're left with a plot thread that goes absolutely nowhere。 If there was a planned third novel， this might make sense， but this is only a duology series。 This plot point is probably one of the most important plots within the two books， but it's not developed to the extent it should have been。 Instead， we get a lot of time reading about various characters crushes on other characters （living or dead） that also never really go anywhere。 And while that's fine （cos most teen crushes go absolutely nowhere）， when you're dealing with a book that's less than 300 pages long， you need to use that time wisely。 And it just wasn't。 。。。more

Where is the audiobook version for this book？ A little disappointed that the first one had a audiobook version and this one doesn't。This series was fun but felt a little rushed。 It was quite slow in the beginning and then picked up about half way through。 I felt that the ending was a little rushed and there could have been like an extra 100 pages。 Still throughly liked it and enjoyed reading this one。 There are a lot of characters to keep track of in this series and am really glad I reread the f Where is the audiobook version for this book？ A little disappointed that the first one had a audiobook version and this one doesn't。This series was fun but felt a little rushed。 It was quite slow in the beginning and then picked up about half way through。 I felt that the ending was a little rushed and there could have been like an extra 100 pages。 Still throughly liked it and enjoyed reading this one。 There are a lot of characters to keep track of in this series and am really glad I reread the first book before re-delving into this world otherwise I would have been really confused。 。。。more

Originally published on The Nerd Daily | Review by Madalena DaleziouWitch Rising while not perfect， is a fun fantasy book about coming out of dark times， about found family and learning to live as yourself—whatever that self might be。 If you love （mostly） girl gangs， witchy aesthetics， and high school settings， this series is definitely for you。Read the FULL REVIEW on The Nerd Daily Originally published on The Nerd Daily | Review by Madalena DaleziouWitch Rising while not perfect， is a fun fantasy book about coming out of dark times， about found family and learning to live as yourself—whatever that self might be。 If you love （mostly） girl gangs， witchy aesthetics， and high school settings， this series is definitely for you。Read the FULL REVIEW on The Nerd Daily 。。。more
