scorpiostrawberries 's review for:

The Witches of Willow Cove by Josh Roberts

1. Sometimes information is just not shared. It is hinted that maybe Vickory's body is in the house but they keep referring to her as missing until suddenly they say they found her remains. When did that happen? Also lots of stuff occurs off page or is just skipped. Zeus and Robby discover the cave and then jumps to the next day. Robby is beaten and kidnapped and then we jump over the rescue and he's fine,a problem that lasted maybe two chapters. Abby is about to share information with Robby about his missing mom and we skip to the next morning?
2. The danger doesn't feel dangerous. It seems Ms.Winters is this big danger and Robby needs to help Abby asap but this book spans like two months. I understand Robby had a lot to figure out but when he learns Mrs.Winters had six of her students disappear before he doesn't immediately go tell his best friend the danger she could be in?
3. Kinda similar Robby's stepmom disappears and we don't really see him talking about it? She's been gone for months and he doesn't seem worried?
4. This isn't that big of an issue but I just don't like them being referred to as "teenage witches" in middle school
5. the ending was okay not what I expected
6. Probably a personal thing but this book was hard to get through at points. I had to take breaks.

There were still some funny moments and some things I kinda liked. I struggle where to rate it 2.75 feels too low and 3 feels too much.
