Spells Trouble: Sisters of Salem by P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast
3.75
adventurous emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'll be honest, it took me forever to get through this novel, it was very slow and kind of lagged at parts, but I found it overall a fun read. 

I liked reading about the different Gods and Goddesses, and how both Hunter and Mercy connected to their god/goddess themselves. Reading about Witches is always a favorite of mine, but I felt a bit of relation to their House of Night series and how the vampires held their rituals. 

Like some, I was confused at the POVs weaved throughout, with there not being a set POV but 3rd person told from one characters POV. 

The idea of grief is very heavily introduced and I felt like the way all the characters dealt with their own grief and trauma was very relatable and very real.
