This was a fun witchy read and continuation of The Ravens, but I enjoyed the first book more. I felt this was a little too predictable and everything wrapped up a little too neatly. Sometimes I felt the characters were focused on trivial things instead of focusing on what was going on. There was a fun and tense element of mystery too it. I would have liked to see more of The Monarchs, considering the book was named for them but they were a background presence.
