Third book in the House of Magic series. I’ve loved the other two books and was very keen to read this one. It did not disappoint.

It’s a fast paced action packed story where Phoebe and her friends are trying to find out who is targeting one of the most powerful vampires in London. Either that person is very dumb or another powerful vampire.

Meanwhile Phoebe is learning magic, and though she does everything right, the words, the hand gestures, the end result is anything but. Which she finds very frustrating, but everyone around her finds curious at the most.

It’s moments like these though, that gave me the most trouble imagining Phoebe as someone much older than a schoolgirl. She even has a schoolgirl infatuation with her teacher/boss Archibald Kane.

Looking forward to the next in the series, where hopefully while Phoebe’s abilities grow, so does her confidence and maturity.

I read an ARC through NetGalley.
