The Magister has left a complete massacre behind and for those Others and humans who survived, the chaos isn't over. When anti-Other hate groups target the Others, it's up to PR guru Molly Ryan to corral them. As a witch growing up in the human world, Molly has integrated well but now that the human world has turned her back on her, she is ready to embrace her witchy side and stand up for herself and her people.
Gage Garrity is also an Other and his job is to help Molly in any way that he can. However, amidst all the political rampages, he finds himself admiring Molly for her strength and perseverance. Perhaps the best thing about GOING UNDER is Molly Ryan, who simply takes center stage and shines completely. All eyes are on her and her presence in this book really makes it feel larger than life. Lauren Dane needed a tough, intelligent heroine and I think she achieved that with Molly Ryan. I admired her so much.
The only thing I missed was Gage. So much of the spotlight is centered on Molly and her greatness that I felt that it didn't quite balance out the hero. Gage seemed to jump in and out of Molly's shadow throughout GOING UNDER and I wished he had more of a solid presence.
Since so much of GOING UNDER deals with the aftermath of the Magister, I definitely recommend reading the series in order. Dane has created a sinfully rich world filled with politics and three-dimensional characters that it would be a shame to miss out of these books!
RIn the wake of the Magister's rampage, chaos rules. Left
reeling, the Others and the humans scramble to create some
sort of unity in the face of growing unrest and violence
from anti–Other hate groups—and PR guru Molly
Ryan is the witch who can do it. She grew up in the human
world but there's nothing left for her there. She's lost
her PR firm and her friends, and now she's decided to put
all her fight toward aiding the Others in this dark new
reality. Gage Garrity, one of the few Others who survived
the massacre, fears that the crusade will expose Molly to
greater dangers than ever before.
Now, together, with magick on their side, Molly and Gage
are on the road in a desperate struggle to unite a torn
world. From state houses to television news to legislative
conference rooms across the country, they're fighting the
good fight. And it's bringing out a passion in both of them
they never expected—one as volatile, intense and
all–consuming as their relentless battle for world
unity. A battle that could be their undoing...
