Former
cheerleader Indigo Blackwood is still exploring her newly awakened
supernatural powers after an epic battle over a magic Witch's Bible in her family's care has left her mother dead and Indie in the
care of her reformed party-animal aunt. After getting caught up in an
ancient witch and sorcerer rivalry, Indigo's childhood friend Paige
is banished to a hellscape alternate dimension of Los Angeles called
Los Demonios. Paige's family has had their memories erased and are
unconcerned about their missing daughter, while Indie's aunt Penny
and boyfriend Bishop are convinced that post-apocolyptic Los Demonios
is far too dangerous for them to attempt a rescue.
Forced to carry
out her rescue mission in secret, Indigo experiences a brief
flirtation with warlock Cruz that makes her question her relationship
with Bishop and uncovers a deadly sorcerer plot that threatens teens
kidnapped from Los Angeles. Indigo must also grapple with some
shocking secrets about her supernatural heritage. Krys' sequel to
Hexed wraps up everything fairly neatly, while still laying the
groundwork for future novels in the series with hints of a school for
witchcraft and wizardry in New York.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
