Betraying Season --- a review by Amy Lyon

Betraying Season

by Marissa Doyle

****
The twins are back again. But this time, Penelope (Pen) is determined to learn magic, for she desperately needs to catch up with her sister. And this time, Pen will be able to do something.

While learning magic with her sister would have been fun, Persy was too caught up being a newlywed. Instead, Pen is traveling to Ireland to learn from her former teacher and friend, affectionately nicknamed Ally. But Ally is sleeping more and more, hardly ever awake, which even in her pregnant state is not like her.

Ally's father, a wizarding professor, soon becomes Pen's teacher. Unfortunately, this means Pen has to deal with his students. Pen finds some relief, in the forn of Niall, the handsome young man with the charmng mother who only wants the best for him. But will this charming mother take things too far in her quest to reunite her son with his father? And when Pen discovers the truth, will she be able to forgive Niall or herself?

Betraying Season was a fascinating sequel to Bewitching Season, definitely an interesting twist in the lives of these bewitching girls. I loved Doyle's characters, especially Niall's sister. While she had a minor role, it was an entertaining one. And, of course, getting to know the second half of this fiesty duo was a plus. I liked "watching" the relationship between Pen and Niall blossom. Doyle is an author I'd like to see more from.

Definitely recommend!
