Fifteen-year-old Reason Cansino has learned the painful truth that she— like her mother, grandmother, and new friends Tom and Jay-Tee—must make a choice: to use the magic that lives in her blood and die young, or refuse to use the magic and lose her mind. Now a new threat leaves Reason stranded alone in New York City, struggling to control a power she barely understands. But could the danger she faces also hold the key to saving her life?

pages: 304
Format: paperback
released: March 27, 2008
from the publisher:
In the third and final installment in the Magic or Madness trilogy, only Reason can find answers within her family’s magic to save everyone that matters most to her.
My Thoughts:
Danger, travel, relationships, new love, betrayal, life-or-death decisions, magic. All the questions were answered but it still left room for a fourth book.
My Rating:
3.5
these were library books and if I find a fourth, I'll read it ASAP
All three are available from the publisher, Penguin Books/US, in multiple formats.
