Have you ever wonder what a sitcom version of Practical Magic would look like? Well this book is exactly that for me.
This is a story of three cousins Gwen, Trudy, and Milo. As well as Gwen's adopted sister Tannith. We find out at the beginning of the story that Gwen's whole family is forbidden from using their magic due to some action of their ancestors. There are also people called watchers who are tasked with making sure that people like Gwen and her family are not using their magic. As of right now I think this is supposed to be a standalone.
This is definetly a rom-com type of story with a little bit of some magical elements thrown in to add flavor. I think that the rom-com elements of the story were right on par with other books such as One Night on the Island by Josie Silver. I think that anyone going into this book thinking that it is a paranormal or fantasy book would be sadly mistaken.
I think that the characters all had their issues but I did enjoy seeing a family that really did try to look out for one another. I think for me this was less of a character driven story so I didn't really feel a strong connection to any of the main characters.
I think that this is definetly one of those stories that grips you right from the beginning and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. I think that this book did a great job of showing how sometimes the family that is forced upon you isn't one that you have to keep forever. I think that the story wrapped up nicely but also left things in a place that if the author ever wanted to continue on with some of theses characters stories that they could.
I think that the pacing was one of the strongest parts of this book because it was a one sitting read for me. I couldn't put it down because I wanted to know how everything would turn out.
I think that the authors writing style was very straightforward. As someone who loves flowery writting occasionally I still enjoyed how straightforward the writing was and how compelling the author's voice was to the overall enjoyment of the story.
I don't think that this is a story I would pick up again but I could see me reaching for this author when I was in the mood for a quick fun read.
