Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Reader Rabbit 1

These witches are unlike many in literature. Jules and her friends use their powers to kill monsters which threaten humans. Werewolves, ghosts, vampires...you name it and they've dealt with it. Jules and her friends are pretty content with their lives. Jules begins a romantic tryst with the coven leader's son, Connor while the other girls' navigate their own paths.

Except then the girls' initation begins to approach. One by one, as they reach their 18th birthday, the girls' are initiated. And after their initation, none of the girls are the same again. Jules, the youngest, can't make any of her friends tell her anything. But Jules knows that she has to do something-anything- to save her friends, her mother and herself.

I wish the book was longer. Seriously, if only it had been. It had alot of promise but there wasn't enough space in the short 288 pages to develop the plot and characters as much as I'd have liked. The concept of the book was interesting. Not completely original but it did have it's own points.

Jules and Connor's relationship should have been developed better. Not to mention that I found Connor himself to be...kind of...boring. And,Connor's friend, Michael could have played a much larger role, instead of sitting around and waiting for a sentence or two.

I liked reading about the relationship between Jules and her fellow coven members. Their relationships were realistic. There was no perfect, ideal BFF FOREVER! friendship going on, which I liked. Lots of friendships portrayed in books are a bit too unrealistic.

Finally, I loved the plot twist, I just wished it had been delved into more. I won't say anything else about it though because it'll spoil it for you. Anyways, if you ever see this lying around at the library or in a bargain books section, pick it up!
