From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-In the first two books of this trilogy, readers learned about Marcus's special skills and problems. Here, in the final book, everything comes to a head. Marcus, his father, and the witches' coven that his mother is involved with are all running headlong toward a confrontation. Marcus has lost his beloved dog, and he travels to Ireland in search of his mother. There he finds his father and they set out together to end the blood war. Snatches of thought and speech, virtually no characterization, and frequent use of metaphor and unnecessary repetition make this a confusing, unsatisfying journey into mystical realms. Even more disconcerting is the fact that the book has the format of a middle-grade novel, but the vocabulary, occasional sexual situations, and violence place it at a high-school level. It is vital that one be familiar with the prior books to understand this one, but few readers will be inclined to keep going.

Book Description
There are enemies within and without...
The coven took my mother, because of me. They killed my dog, because of me. You'd think there could be nothing worse than this -- but you'd be wrong. My family and me being torn to shreds by a horde of witches could be worse. War could be worse. And all-out war is coming.
My father says my powers are limitless. I have yet to see it ... and no time to learn. We are closing in on one another, the coven and my father and me. It can only end in death, theirs or ours.
It's all in my hands now.

First Sentence:
somehow my fault, and push the last yards down the road, through the heat, to the house. The sleepy, enchanting house that was so full, the last time I was here, of tinkling crystal dinnerware and charming con and then the unspeakable secrets I found upstairs.
