Marissa Doyle: Betraying Season

 This was a fun read. The characters were good, the story was good, and the resolution was VERY satisfying.  I'm not sure about the "risque" mentions of sex--considering the time period--but this might be because it was the first quasi-realistic portrayal of Victorian late-teenage life. While many claim that this is the sequel to Bewitching Season, I read this first, and while I didn't know Pen's sister Persy, I like the inside cover's claim that this book is a COMPANION to Bewitching Season.  I might pick it up at some point, but I'm not in a rush.  I loved the Irish magic elements, and I actually hope there is a final book with both magical sisters equally represented in one final adventure. We'll see.
