It would be so much easier, though, if her demonic side wasn’t constantly trying to make her kiss everyone. Along with the two ghosts from the curse, a beautiful pink-haired witch is after Sidney’s heart.But things are changing . . . the coven has informed Sidney that because of her role in the curse (the fact that she’s a Wilkins woman born to end the curse), she’s going to become an Apt—a messenger of the gods imbued with godly powers. She’ll be godly, if she can defeat her demon side. This would be great news if it wasn’t tied to a ghastly vision of her own death at the hand of the incubus. Here’s hoping that visions can be wrong. . . .In order to take hold of her destiny, Sidney is charged with exploring the Thicket—an otherworldly holding place for Reginald and Dorian, the ghosts attached to the curse. Because of her death (and subsequent raising), she’s able to explore the Thicket as long as either Reginald or Dorian go with her. For as the Golden Dawn Coven warns: she could go crazy or get lost in the Thicket if she’s not careful. It’s a chance that Sidney has to take as the witches’ visions have shown that the Thicket holds the answer—not only to ending Sidney’s incubus father, but maybe even to ending the curse without one of the ghosts having to die. It’s a chance for Sidney to finally live her own life—not one of ghosts and magic and curses. It’s a chance she has to take.Along with her human friends, talking Bastmau (feline familiar), Reginald, and Dorian, Sidney is off to find the answers she needs to end her father and the curse before time runs out.Thicket is the fast-paced, heart-pounding ending to the Brambles Series, sure to leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.Are you ready for the end?Be sure to check out Brambles Series Book 1, Brambles & Brambles Series Book 2, Thorns! less
