I liked this book because it wrapped up some story lines and ended with Rachel at a definite crossroads. I have huge hopes for the relationships in the next book and for the choices Rachel will make. There was significant growth for the majority of the characters and I liked how they changed. A lot of the character growth and change was related to relationships so... (view spoiler)[ Ivy and Rachel are never going to happen, Rachel and Pierce aren't going to happen, Rachel really is a demon (and a witch, too?), possibly the strongest of them all and Trent trusts Rachel and has a baby! The was the book ended with Trent leaving and no discussion of their kiss leaves me unsure - I REALLY want Trent and Rachel to get together and Harrison said if anything happened between them it would be in this book with them spending so much time together. Did the end mean Rachel is shutting down any chance of being with Trent, or is there hope for more in the next book because of the happy feeling she gets when she realized Trent liked their kiss and hopes she did, too? I'd like for Rachel to take off the charmed silver, accept who she is, utilize her magic and work with Trent - I think working with Trent would put them in close contact and between that and their mutual love for Lucy they could form a romantic relationship. I can't wait for the next one! (hide spoiler)]
