This is my favorite of the series so far! It is much darker and more creepy than the previous two. Which I really enjoyed. I love all the characters more and more with each book, which I think is what really makes this series stand out. Everyone is just so realistic, we even see blue acting out in this one because she is a teenager in a very stressful situation. Of course the magic-realism is also amazing as well as all the Wicca/witchy symbolism threaded throughout.
