Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing to say the least.
Review: John Passarella once again conjures that familiar evil known as Wither in the second installment in the Wendy Ward series, "Wither's Rain." Wendy Ward is a college student who is also a powerful witch. Having defeated Wither in the first novel, Wendy and the other characters are trying to move on with their lives, but as in all good scary tales, the monster isn't really dead. Wither takes possession of the body of Gina Thorne and slowly begins to plot her revenge against Wendy.I really enjoyed "Wither" but was a little disappointed with "Wither's Rain." The ending was very anti-climactic and a tinge contrived. In addition, it left the door wide open for Passarella's next novel in the series, Wither's Legacy. I will read it to find out what happens to Wendy. She is an extremely likeable character and I would love to see Passarella have her finally overcome the entity called Wither and move on to some other Wiccan flavored mysteries.
