A teenage witch juggles popularity and romance while keeping her powers a secret in this spellbinding debut.
Almost-sixteen-year-old Brooklyn feels invisible, but she desperately wants to be pretty, to be popular, to be adored by a cute guy. Luckily for her, she's a witch about to come of age—so she's only a few spells away from making it all happen.
On her milestone birthday, Brooklyn's conservative parents finally unbind her powers. This newfound freedom leads to a spell-assisted makeover, entree into the cool clique, and the attention of her longtime crush, Asher. Even better, Brooklyn discovers her true power: the ability to magically match couples with a love spell.
But Brooklyn's quest for popularity is not without its price. As the clique escalates their initiation tests and she relies on her powers to complete the tasks, Brooklyn finds herself in the same precarious position as her Salem ancestors: if she's found out, she could be vilified—and lose Asher in the process. Can she make the most of her magic, or will she be luckless and loveless? Be careful what you witch for!
My Review:
This was a really great read! This world of witches and what they're able to do was so interesting! Watching Brooklyn get her powers, transform herself, and join the popular group? Yeah, that was a heck of a journey!
On the whole, this book is really about teenage drama and squabbling, about popularity. Brooklyn was a nobody, but once she had magic, she transformed herself-and not always for the better. It was hard to see sometimes, as she pushed away the people who knew her before the changes.
Brooklyn has some opposing desires. She wants to be one of the popular kids, but she also wants Asher, and he wants nothing to do with the popular people. She she's torn between the two, and as things went on, the stakes got higher.
I did read the synopsis of the next two books, so I knew things weren't going to end well with her and Asher, but oh, watching her go down that path was rough! I'm so excited to see how things are going to play out in book 3!
This was a really great read and start to the series and I can't wait to red more!
