From New York Times bestselling
and award-winning author Claribel A. Ortega: The third bookin the spellbinding
Witchlings series!
It's been months since the end of the
Golden Frog Games, and a cure for the hex that turned young witches to stone
still hasn't been found. Seven and Thorn want nothing more than to find a way
to heal their friends, but everything they try ends in failure.
When the Black Moon Ceremony arrives
earlier than expected, Seven and Thorn take it as a chance to welcome any new
Spares into their coven. But rather than welcoming a few Spares like they
thought, all the witchlings in the ceremony are chosen to
enter the Spare coven!
The new Spares are met with anger
from the Hill Society. They create more unfair laws that ban Spares from using
magic and being equals in Twelve Towns society! On top of all that, Spares
start disappearing. And no one seems to care.
As Seven and Thorn struggle to find a
cure for the stone hex and to stop the Twelve Town's unfair treatment of Spares
once and for all, they discover a piece of hidden history that will change
everything-if they can get anyone to listen to them.

WITCHLINGS series now!
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the magical elements, pet toads etc. I enjoyed the idea of Spares. What if you don't belong to one group? There were a lot of common threads relating to Harry Potter. This series fits right in with the wizarding world. I did not like that the story begins with a spare stuck in stone. I felt like I was missing to much from the previous books. However, this installment contains information about the twelve towns. The fabulous animals that were protective of their owners is my favorite part of this story. There is so much more including oracles, birthdays and of course magic! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
