Synopsis: It's the summer before her sixteenth birthday, and Sabrina Spellman knows her world is about to change. She's always studied magic and spells with her aunts, Hilda and Zelda. But she's also lived a normal mortal life - attending Baxter High, hanging out with her friends Susie and Roz, and going to the movies with her boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle.
Now time is running out on her every day, normal world, and leaving behind Roz and Susie and Harvey is a lot harder than she thought it would be. Especially because Sabrina isn't sure how Harvey feels about her. Her cousin Ambrose suggests performing a spell to discover Harvey's true feelings. But when a mysterious wood spirit interferes, the spell backfires in a big way.
Sabrina has always been attracted to the power of being a witch. But now she can't help wondering if that power is leading her down the wrong path. Will she choose to forsake the path of light and follow the path of night?
Review: If you’re a fan of Sabrina, this is the book for you! This is dark and mysterious and it exudes Sabrina! I loved all the character insights into the multiple characters, I loved the backstory for Hilda and Ambrose, and I’m so excited for Season 3 I wanna scream!!! Definitely a book for the fans of Sabrina.
However, I did think that the villain could have been better fleshed out and the climax of the story a bit longer, it just felt so short compared to the rest of the book. I’m also a tad sad that Theo (formerly Susie) wasn’t more fleshed out, he’s my favorite character and I loved seeing him bravely come out on the series. I’m a bit sad that they referred to him as Susie, but I understand that at the time Theo was Susie and I’m not sure at which point he decided he was Theo.
Verdict: I loved every page.
