Synopsis
Diana Hansen has finished high school, which officially makes her an active Keeper, and her first major Summoning, one that normally would go to her older sister Claire, requires the most powerful Keeper available: a force from the Otherside is threatening to break through to our world at a shopping mall in Kingston, and the mall is turning evil, with an ancient forest growing inside it and a crowd of the supernatural moving in. Claire, Diana and Sam, the angel of the previous book, go in to save the world, while Dean and Austin keep the guest house running and a second talking cat joins the household. The trilogy's conclusion splits its time between the two sisters, giving Diana her own Summoning and a larger share of responsibility for the balance between Light and Darkness.
