On the surface, Sorry-in-the-Vale is a sleepy little town. But Kami Glass knows the truth. Sorry-in-the-Vale is full of magic. In the old days, the Lynburn family ruled with fear, terrifying the people into submission by killing human sacrifices for blood and power. Now the Lynburns are back, and Rob Lynburn is gathering sorcerers so the town can return to the old ways.
 
But Rob and his followers aren’t the only sorcerers around. The town must make a decision: pay the blood sacrifice, or fight. For Kami, this means more than just choosing between good and evil. With her link to Jared Lynburn severed, she’s now free to love whomever she chooses. But who should that be?

This picked up right where the first book left off and overall I enjoyed it. I really like Kami, Rusty, Holly, and Angela in this volume. The Lynburns are more of background characters to me. And don’t get me started on everyone’s parents. So clueless! I loved where the story went and the revelations contained in the pages. But I do think this one could have been condensed a bit. Not sure this series needs to be a trilogy. I think it could have been a duology. There’s just so much filler in some of the chapters. But I will continue on and finish this series.
