It's been almost a year since the magical apocalypse closed off the city of Manchester from the rest of the world. The vampires, werewolves and humans within the city all now live together in relative harmony...but trouble is brewing on the horizon. Supplies are starting to run out and, despite their best efforts to grow crops and create a sustainable future, everyone knows that it will be an uphill battle. Still, the magic swirling in the city air is an incredible bonus. Charley, the most magical of them all, is determined to do whatever she can to help out her new community and with Monroe by her side, she's confident that things will turn out alright. But when someone from beyond Manchester's walls makes contact, what happens next will be anyone's guess.

Good but less than satisfying ending. Lucy the shadowbeast was a great addition to the series.

Good

I read the entire series and it was so slow moving, it took a lot to get through it. The female main character is too dumb to be a leader. If she is the most powerful magic person, why has she not developed her skills. She always comes up short when there is a problem. She spends a lot of time just standing there doing nothing. After a year, when everyone is getting hungry and rationing is in place, she has not figured out a way to use her magic to improve growth of the crops, or how tostop a file or how to put dangerous creatures to sleep. What a waste of power and time.
Since I did not like the main character, I really did not care how the story ended. There was also too much moralizing about everything that needed to be done to survive. Sometimes you have to do the hard things so that others can live, but Charlie didn't understand that.
the narrator is good and does the best with what she had. The plot was lacking and not even the best narrator could do much with it.
The only thing that makes me less upset is that the books were free and therefore it was just the loss of time that could have been spent reading a better series.

Very Slow
