This Spell Can't Last

This Spell Can't Last

Hannah and Veronica battle a Blood Witch in the thrilling, heartbreaking prequel to These Witches Don't Burn. Turns out, New York City is kind of a nightmare for a witch. Hannah's not exactly loving her trip to the city, considering the huge crowds and layers of concrete blocking her connection to the elements. But a weekend away with her best friend, Gemma, and her girlfriend, Veronica, still has its advantages. After all, it's hard to complain when you're making out with the Statue of Liberty in the background. With Veronica's graduation on the horizon, Hannah is determined to enjoy every second of their time together, even if that means hanging out with Veronica's new friends, a group of Caster Witches determined to stir up trouble with a local Blood Witch. Thrust into the middle of a terrifying magical feud, Hannah begins to question if she can really trust Veronica, especially with her heart. And with a vengeful Blood Witch on their trail, she'll have to use every ounce of her powers to make sure she gets back to Salem alive.

Normally I'm of the opinion that publication order is the way to go when reading a series, even if later stories are technically prequels. In this case, I would recommend anyone who hasn't started the series, start here. The extended flashbacks in the first book are disjointed and would work better if a reader goes into them knowing the full story.

** spoiler alert ** 3.5 Hubieron actitudes de Veronica desde el principio de la historia que no me gustaban y la manera en que Hannah eclipsaba sus propias emociones por mantener contenta a su novia me daba heartache (luego me di cuenta que era porque me provocaban war flashbacks). Anyway, estoy orgullosa de Hannah por haberse elegido a ella misma reconociendo la cruda verdad de que a veces el amor no es suficiente para que una relación funcione. Estoy intrigada por empezar el siguiente espero atar los nudos que quedaron sueltos acá.

Silence is a funny thing. It can be warm and comforting, filled with promises and the electricity of knowing the other person loves you beyond words. This is a different kind of silence. It's heavy with dread and half-started thoughts, ideas killed before they could reach our lips.
