Synopsis: Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.Sometimes life-ending.Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

What i thought of the cover: The cover dose a great job continuing on with the same theme as the first books cover. This time how ever the writing s blue with random shiny parts on the letters and the silver metallic background show the staircases in one of the caster tunnels still giving it a sense of mystery.

Overall I give this cover a 4.5 out of 5

What i thought of the story: In book two of the caster series things defiantly get more interesting. Not only do we get to see how the plot is continued from the last book but we also get to meet some interesting new characters as well. I found the beginning a little slow but once it began to pickup I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. We discover more secrets and truths which shocked me to a extent as a lot were not what I was expecting. A thing I really didn’t like was what happened to Ridley and Link, I just don’t agree about what happened to the both of them but that’s just what I think. I love the new character Liv especially that English charm she has <3. The story defiantly left an interesting cliff hanger and it should be interesting to see what happens in the third book.

I give it a 4 out of 5 stars

Why is it every time Ridley shows up I crave candy.
