VenCo by Cherie Dimaline
3.0

A girl who finds a strange spoon with the word SALEM etched on it and soon her life is turned upside down as she is recruited into a network of witches. Lucky St. James is anything but lucky, she’s currently working dead end jobs, she’s being evicted from her tiny Toronto apartment she lives with her grandmother, and her crush doesn’t like her back. So when she uncovers a silver spoon etched with a crooked-nosed witch and the word Salem, humming with otherworldly energy... something is bound to happen. Hundred of miles away in Salem, witches who work in VenCo are currently looking for the last two witches to fit their coven and beat the deadline of their prophecy... and Lucky just so happens to be the sixth witch they need for their coven. Lucky is soon recruited and now its up to her and her coven to find the last witch before it’s too late... and escape a powerful witch hunter who is bent on killing Lucky. This was an interesting story about a treasure hunt essentially, it doesn’t really have. a lot of magic and certain parts of the book lagged and felt like it was dragging or lost a bit of the moving plot, but overall the end picked up a bit and wrapped everything up. Overall an okay read and I would recommend it for people who like treasure hunt adventures.
