How does one become an all-powerful Child of Chaos? That’s what Harley desperately needs to find out before her unhinged aunt raises the death toll. All she knows for sure is that magical kids are missing, and they somehow fit into Katherine Shipton’s grand scheme. Now that Harley is an official member of the San Diego Coven, she feels more responsible than ever for its protection—and that of the magical world. But she’s got a whole lot more on her plate than that. There’s a traitor lurking within the Coven. She still yearns to know the secrets contained within her parents’ Grimoire. And there’s also the fact that she might actually have feelings for a certain stubborn, green-eyed dude… All the while, Santana faces her own demons, with a magical Purge building within her and a crush on a boy with a dark side, one that might just lead them …

Review of 'Harley Merlin and the Stolen Magicals' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

So - what you need to know is that this book is mostly a filler episode. I am beginning to believe that the person who said they weren't sure that Bella Forrest was one person might be right. This novel is a bunch of really silly high school hormones, of the type that I don't believe women really feel, even when we are young. More like what a man might theorize about 19 year olds. Which is boring, and a great deal of the book is that. The changed POV still includes Harley, but shifts to include a different member of the team this time.

Unfortunately, there are a few key things that come to light, so you will have to read it if you want to advance with the story...

And I'm still not ready to be done with these books, although there are a lot of fairly silly …
