The Curse of Willow Cove by Josh Roberts

In this spellbinding sequel to The Witches of Willow Cove, Abby Shepherd and her coven of teenage witches must confront an undead terror that threatens the safety of their friends, families, and maybe even the entire world.

Now fourteen years old and with a year of witchcraft under her belt, Abby finally feels like things are going her way. That is, until her mother announces they’re moving to a new town, her boyfriend stops speaking to her, and her eighth-grade classmates start vanishing in the middle of the night—only to return as something terrifyingly different than before.

When the mysterious Council of Witches summons Abby and her friends to their secret domain, then forbids the young coven from investigating the sinister events unfolding in Willow Cove, Abby begins to suspect the Council knows more about the disappearances than they’re letting on.

With the clock ticking and the danger getting closer and closer to Abby’s doorstep, she and her best friend Robby O’Reilly must both decide what they’re willing to risk to save everyone they love… before an ancient curse from Willow Cove’s past sinks its teeth into them all.

review

This is a book two. It can be read as a standalone, but you get to know the characters better in book one. There is quite a bit from book one mentioned in book two.

I really enjoyed this. I loved the pacing. It felt like something was always happening. Abby is still the leader of the group. But she’s moving away. The house is familiar to them but they don’t find out everything about it until later. Now there are vampires in Willow Cove. The coven wants to help find a way to fix things. Especially when one of their friends is bitten. But the Council doesn’t want witches involved in anything except themselves. The punishment for going against the Council is severe. They find out quickly that the adults aren’t going to be much help. So the coven is basically on their own.

I enjoyed the new character in this. She definitely brought a bit more to the story. I liked that Abby didn’t have it all together. What fourteen year old does? There was a little bit of romance. But mostly the book is about friendships.

I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.

Thank you to the author for sending me an earc. I hope we get a book three.

Is this on your TBR?
