Comments: I do like this series. I know it isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it. Of the siblings, Verity remains my favorite, but they have all grown on me including Antimony. She is on the run in this book, which means no Aeslin mice, so I was glad to have the short story at the end from the perspective of Mindy (and Sam, Antimony's... potential boyfriend).
Anyway, Antimony finds a hiding place from the Covenant (evil or misinformed or both group of "Van Helsing" types, who hunt all "monsters", not vampires) while also keeping away from her family (in order to protect them from unwanted discovery and attention). She has secured a position at a theme park that is apparently runner up to Disney in both Florida and California - in this case Florida. Coming from her recent Carnie type experiences, this seems an ideal fit. But she is having issues with a burgeoning magical side. Plus, she's seen an uptick in strange and unlucky events that may draw the Covenant's attention no matter how cautious she is - not to mention people are dying.
This series is really one that should be read in order, even though the books switch perspectives between siblings (this is the second Antimony book); they tend to build on each other, especiall these last few. I look forward to the next book, That Ain’t Witchcraft, which will be another Antimony book.
