POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Betraying Season (Leland Sisters) by Marissa Doyle is the second book following the Leland Sisters, this time just focused on Penelope. Penelope travels to Ireland with her previous governess to learn more about magic and become a better student at it. While there, she meets Niall Keating who begins to court her, and distract her and her studies. But it seems Niall isn't acting on his own accord and Penelope might be involved in an evil plot against the Queen.

I guess I should mention that it's been a while since I read Bewitching Season and that may affect my score. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it, even though there were some mistakes with it. Maybe that's my problem because even though Betraying Season wasn't bad, it was so clichéd and it got on my nerves after a while.

I was sorta hoping for a plot that was different and had some twists and turns to it, but it was pretty obvious what was going to happen from the beginning. Lady Keating was plotting something evil, Niall would have to flirt with Penelope and make her fall in love with him, he'd end up falling in love with her along the way, and everything will end up perfectly. And it's such a clichéd plot that it irked me that I could predict everything that was happening. Why can't authors think of an original plot?

There was a bit more romance and steaminess in here than it was in Bewitching Season. One way that Niall tries to "save" Penelope is to try to take her virtue. Penelope has to be a virgin in order for Lady Keating's plan to work. So, there's a bit more... steam involved than in Bewitching Season because of that. Not that there's so much that it's more adult. It's a bit stronger PG rating than Bewitching Season was.

And to be honest, that whole save a woman's virtue by sleeping with her was so clichéd and not necessary needed. I thought the plot have been a bit better and not involved virginity vital to it. I kept rolling my eyes whenever I read about Niall volunteering to save her virtue.

However, it was nice to read more about the magic, different types of magic and more of a history of everything too. Bewitching Season didn't have much of anything.

There was also way too many adverbs for my taste. I wanted a story that was shown, not told to me.

Overall, it's cheesy, it's clichéd, it's forgettable, but it does have some interesting things and can hold attention enough. I'd give Bewitching Season a three star rating and since this wasn't as good, I guess it'll get a two star rating.

Betraying Season Marissa Doyle Books Reviews

I picked up this book and could not put it down!!! i enjoyed it just as much as the first book the main character has a great personality. I enjoyed the ending because it tied up loose ends and it left me wanting more but because it was a good book not because the author does not give u enough information. It was a great book and i would recommend it to anybody!!!
I know there is a book Three, cant wait to get it. I love the story lines and how Marissa put everything together.
Different, but a good read. I enjoyed the twist of the magical interest. I wished for more description of the settings for visual effect.
Entertaining and fun read. Book was in excellent condition.
Book arrived in good shape. Mum was pleased as it is hard to find and a part of a set she needed. Thank you
I love Marissa's style. Bewitching Season is in the highest calibur but unfortunately Betraying Season doesn't reach the height of its predecessor--at least for me. What let me down was the final confrontation with Lady Keating. (Oh, watch out for spoilers in the rest of this.) Pen didn't tell her off. Persy set the bar high with her conversation with Michael Carrighar while they were battling. Pen just wondered how long she had to say mental goodbyes to her loved ones. Why didn't she stand up for herself and put LK in her place? Otherwise I was very engaged by Betraying Season. Niall is definitely stimulating.
Oh, and since my name might give the wrong impressions I better make it clear that I am a girl.
I read the first book in this series, Bewitching Season, and enjoyed it tremendously. While many sequels fail to live up to the first book, this was definitely not the case here - in fact, I like Betraying Season even better (6 stars!!!). Penelope (Pen) is the focus of this book and heads off to Ireland to study magic. She is determined to apply herself to her studies so that she can become as good at magic as her sister Percy. Instead of studying with her former governess, Pen has a new teacher and joins a group of young men who are also studying magic. Of course these "charming" fellows clearly think she is in over her head and make things as difficult as possible. Adding to her feelings of inadequacy, Pen's former governess seems to be sleeping all the time and just isn't available for any girl talk.

So, what's a girl to do? Well, fall in love, of course! Pen meets Niall Keating and they are immediately attracted to one another. Their relationship is encouraged by Lady Keating who seems more than happy to escort Pen around town, have her over for tea, etc. From this point on you expect a lovely romance, but that just isn't in the cards. Marissa Doyle takes you on a journey of love, deceit and powerful magic as Penelope Leland discovers her inner core of strength.

Like Bewitching Season, Betraying Season will appeal to a wide range of ages from teen to adult. The story moves along at a wonderful pace and I found it really hard to put the book down. This is a great series of books and I would recommend reading both books if you get the chance!
