Summary from Amazon
To protect those she
loves from herself, Jax will leave them all behind. She'll risk everything in a
desperate search for answers.
Jax Pherson fled the darkest of covens and from her own father's evil. For a brief moment, her courage was rewarded. She found everything she'd ever wanted. A normal life. An amazing boyfriend. An envy-worthy best friend .
But her past put them all in danger, forcing a confrontation with the dark covens. In a life-and-death battle to save those she loved from the covens, Jax gained staggering power. Power so intense, so dangerous, she fears the darkness that now dwells inside her like a living thing.
If she can't control the power, she may yet become as evil as the witches she conquered.
With her friend Egan, Jax leaves all she's built and heads for the one place that might hold the answers she desperately needs to hold back the darkness-Salem, Massachusetts. Her research unearths a shocking discovery: the Bane, a secret group of witches dedicated to thwarting the covens.
Jax desperately needs their help in her fight against the covens, but finding the Bane is easier said than done and takes all her skills and courage. As Jax gets closer, her dark powers begin to rise and control her actions. If she succumbs to the darkness, Jax may have as much to fear from the Bane as the evil covens and the determined hunter on her trail.

Arrgh!!
Just when things were getting interesting, the story ends on a cliffhanger!!
But I want to know more now!! Haha!!
I
thought the White Witch was more a lively read, watching a young girl turn her
life around and doing normal teenage things until evil basically lands on her
doorstep. But in Bane it was completely different, very intense and serious.
There weren’t many laugh out loud scenes as everyone is on edge most of the
time. It was a sensational second book in the series; I just wished that it
didn’t finish so quickly.
Bane
continues on where White Witch left off. We follow Jax, into Salem, where the
Salem Witch Trials took place back in the 1600's. She is trying to find answers
to her problems. She wants to know more in regards to the White Witch and how
to deal with the Dark and Light powers that are battling within her. But most
of all she wants to find a way to rid the world of the Dark Covens to protect
the rest of the human race.
In
Bane Jax is a more determined person. After the incident at Shiprock at Bakers
Gap she has decided to step up and take responsibility of herself and her
friends as well as trying to keep everyone safe. This book is very nerve
wracking as Jax and Egan feel as though they are being watched by someone
almost everywhere they go and I was expecting someone to jump out at them all
the time!
We
meet some new people in Bane that weren’t in White Witch, who fit into this
storyline perfectly! They help with the research into her past and even try to
teach Jax things about herself. But for Jax it means more people for her to
protect.
Trish has created an
intriguing world involving witches and the supernatural. She has left me
sitting on the edge of my seat at the end of Bane and I can’t wait for the next
book!!
