This book is about Reed's journey to save Noelle after Noelle was "kidnapped" during a ceremony of the Billing Literary Society. The "kidnappers" text Reed with 4 tasks to complete in order to keep Noelle alive, if Reed does not complete these tasks or tell if she tells anyone about the "kidnapping" Noelle will be killed. Okay so far so good, during the part about the three tasks and all that its a good book much like the ones before it in the series. Then the final task is to break up with Josh and that is a big sob seen and Reed does it and that is all well and good. Then the kidnappers send out fake cops to arrest Reed and they bring her to this run down shack and leave her their. Reed gets another text saying that if she wants to find Noelle she has to travel through the forest behind the shack and stay on the path that will lead to this observatory. So Reed goes into the woods, shockingly, she becomes paranoid and thinks that there is someone following her so she runs away from the path to through her "stalker" of her trail. She ends up getting lost for hours until she finally gets a note from the kidnappers saying she has to walk seven miles east and then she will find Noelle. Reed some how finds the strength and does reach the observatory to find Noelle slumped in a chair. Reed, being the heroine, runs up to Noelle to find that she is completely alright and in fact has makeup and hair styled. Reed is shocked and asks "What the hell?" to which Noelle responds."Everything is going to be okay Reed, I'm fine. In fact you are my sister." Reed is shocked after being put through everything to find that there are other women who are in on the prank. The entire Lange(Noelle's family) clan is ready to welcome Reed into their arms. So the story continues, Reed is upset but forgives everyone in the end, and Grandma Lange gives Noelle and Reed a key to a secret room in the Billings Chapel. And the story continues and guess what they are witches! Okay now after my summary my opinion. I believe that the series has taken a series nose dive into the land of Pretty little liars and other chick lit books. Do we really need another series where the two girls who are always at each others throats become sisters? Or another series where there are mystical beings like vampires, werewolves, and witches? Overall this book was a disappointment and honestly, I am not that excited to read the rest of them. We need to go back to the good old days when people weren't trying to kill Reed and Noelle every other chapter. But we most see what happens... ( )

The following review may contain spoilers.

Noelle is missing. Reed is receiving anonymous texts from Noelle’s kidnappers. In order for Noelle to be found alive, Reed must complete four assignments and by no means go to the police or solicit anyone’s help. Reed performs the assignments and awaits Noelle’s outcome.

Eventually Reed and Noelle are reunited and the truth surrounding Noelle’s disappearance is revealed. The twist is meant to be shocking, but it’s so random (and anticlimactic) that I ended up not caring. However, the twist is a good segue for The Book of Spells, the next is the series focusing on the original Billings Girls. Its release date is December 21, 2010. ( )
