When Winifred 'Freddie', a troubled teen possessing amazing powers enters her life, Cass, while showing Freddie how to harness her gifts, has a horrifying vision of a family that recently disappeared, and, calling on her circle of friends, discovers that Freddie is linked to the crime.
The second in a series (after Circle of Five), this book is as good as the first. Good thriller that's not overly violent. Love the interaction between the main characters. I caught myself laughing out loud many times. Also enjoyed the newer characters. The Wiccan and herbal info is accurate but not over done. This book is easily enjoyed by pagans and non-pagans. I hope there are many more books in this series! According to the authors website, she's finished 2 more books (after #4) and has started a 3rd. For some reason, they're not getting published! On the authors website, you can find an email address to pass on your support for this series of books to the publisher and ask for more! And if anyone has a clue as to why there's a problem with getting these books published, please share...because I'm completely baffled! UPDATE: on the author's website she states that she is no longer working with her old publisher and is looking for a new one. Let's hope she finds one very soon!
Fabulous!

Anothing winning entry in the Cass Shipton series! Ms. Riccio shows us a more in depth view of the Wiccan way of life in this novel, but the characters aren't whitewashed -- they struggle with dark thoughts the same as most people do, while always striving to embrace the light. I eagerly await the appearance of book 3 in 2005.
Love it....once again

Ms Riccio, I'm soooo hooked on your series with Cass. All the women in your stories are now people I look forward to visiting with. Please keep the books coming. I can't wait for the next one.
