Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who’ve relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness—willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too—caged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.
Yet the more she seeks the truth about her family’s troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mother’s reach while determining the future of all witches.
A decent book and a brilliant take on different magical communities in New Orleans. I really enjoyed the 1st book in the Savannah series so thought I'd try this one to. I enjoyed the book although sometimes I found myself a little lost in so much information,but overall I quite enjoyed it! Would recommend especially to those witch loving readers.

Between the history, the spy story, and the mystery, there is a lot going on in this book. At times, it gets to be a bit too much, and I felt like the pacing was slowed down as a result. That’s ironic since there is plenty of action, and I was turning pages as quickly as I could multiple times over the course of the book. This certainly isn’t one of my normal light mysteries, but it shouldn’t be since it is a book about war. Still, the impact of this story hit me hard since I love these characters. The characters, both real and fictional, interact effortlessly, and it is very easy to care for our heroes. I do recommend reading the first book first since this book spoils some of the events of that story. It has to since those events impacted the characters so much. When you are looking to be fully immersed in another time and place, this is definitely the book to pick up.
