The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith
5.0

When I first picked up this book, I must admit that I wasn't very excited to read it. But after reading it I wholeheartedly agree with this being the Barnes and Noble YA Book Club book! I absolutely adored this book! I couldn't put it down! Speaking of not being able to put it down, anyone know when the next book will be out?

All the characters in this book serve a purpose and I love them all so much, I can't decide who my favorite character is! Frances is phenomenally realistic, Maxine is hilariously vulnerable, Lena is righteously bitter, and Finn is well, Finn's Finn.

Smith did a fantastic job of conveying Frances's emotions to the readers, I felt just as angry with Haxahaven Academy as Frances did. I also felt her horror at being able to manipulate bodies but just like her, I wanted to see/read it happen again.

Sasha Smith spins a stunning tale of grief, finding family, and (of course) magic. Her characters are wonderfully thought out and with the plot twist at the end, I can't wait to read what she does next!

Lots of love!
