review 1: Diana Pharaoh Francis's Horngate Witches series just keeps getting better. In the latest outing, the covenstead faces a dire threat while Max, the heroine, journeys to a strange alternate city. I won't go into more detail--I don't want to spoil the story--but suffice it to say that everything changes in this story, in ways both heartbreaking and joyful. A hundred pages from the end, I was convinced the volume couldn't wrap up in a satisfying way, if at all, but Francis surprised me. The deft way in which she pulled all the characters together, and the bittersweet ending, made my eyes sting a little as I read the last page. I'm glad I've got book four on hand.

Everyone needs friends...and Max most of all. Now if this girl would only let down her emotional guard. The ending gives some hope. Lets see what Francis lets happen with book four. less
