The Story- Audrey and
her sister Meg live with their mom in a normal neighborhood. One morning Audrey
has the feeling that something bad has happened to her mother, and low and
behold, her mom doesn’t come home that night. Instead, a stranger named Sadie
shows up, claims to be a cousin, and says their mom sent her to babysit.
Audrey knows things
aren’t right. And when strange things begin happening to her, she has no one to
confide in but Sadie. Luckily, Sadie is a witch, and so are Audrey and her mom.
Unfortunately, something evil has risen and is after Audrey, and might already
have the mom.
My Thoughts- I always
like stories when a normal nobody turns out to be some sort of legacy, in this
case, a powerful witch. I know that is a plain plot, but I love it. Just think
Harry Potter.
Audrey is a fun
character who discovers deep secrets about herself that are unpleasant and life
altering. She has a strong passion to help those she loves, which proves a
bonus when other “witches” feel that humans are worthless.
The love interest is
Julian, and I love his character. Why? Because I’m pretty sure there is a
hidden secret there that the author has not yet revealed. He seems to be human,
but he has a direct connection to Audrey. Even Sadie thinks Audrey and him are soul
mates. But how is that possible? He’s a human. Hmm? I’ll have to wait for book
2.
Nice plot twists and
a smooth story line. I think this series has a lot of potential and can’t wait
to read more. One small thing, the author sometimes uses words that are a little more complex than the story needs. I'm not talking about BFF Bridget's made up words either. I think authors sometimes get carried away finding synonyms. And the recipes? I get the whole connection to baking, but really, I just skipped over them.
