This is most definitely a YA book. That is not to disparage it but a caution
that it may be a bit juvenile and if that turns you off , you should be aware
of that fact. Spirit White is still magic-less at a pseudo Hogwarts Academy
that appears to be infiltrated by the bad guys.
The story is as much a relationship story between friends as
a urban fantasy. The core group of
Spirit's friends are impacted by the arrival of alumni claiming to be there to
protect the students from the forces of evil.
The identity of the forces of evil seem to be tied all the way back to
the legend of Arthur and Merlin.
There are some confrontations and very mild violence but
there are deaths. The story is more captivating
than the first book in the series.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
