This book was about Whit and Wisty’s struggles in their town, after the defeat of The One Who Is The One. They try to fit in, but many people shun them for being magical. Wisty is bothered, but continues to be herself. Whit struggles with internal conflict: to be or not to be? In the meantime, another antagonist arises. Just who is he? The ending was a complete twist, though.
I loved this book. Whit changed in a way I didn’t expect him to. Wisty, naturally, remains the bold, daring fire witch she always was. There were a few characters whom I didn’t expect to see again. And of course, I don’t think anyone expected the ending. It was shocking, but very typically James Patterson.
For me, the ending was the best part. I understand why other people may not have liked it, but I loved it.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.

Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
