It was ok. Did not blow me away nor do i really feel the need to carry on with the series as i don't really care what happens to these characters, i have to say after reading Kristen Middleton's Venom series was disappointed.

This story focuses on a powerful family line of witch twins, the most recent being oblivious to the fact they are witches or their mum is, they find out, and take on the big bad.

Then it started getting confusing as to who was related to who, whose wand belonged to who. The cliffhanger would be incredible if i actually cared as the story was too fast paced to get a feel for any of the characters, everything happened in a day or two.

But it wasn't bad.

the audiobook sounded like it was read via AI making it boring and hard to distinguish each person in the book. 

The ebook chapter titles cut weird at some places but that doesn't make or break this book. 

What did it for me was the fact that the villain was meh and yet feared. I felt as of this was one big tella novella you see with unbelievably, dramatical series of events that was far shock value that all comes out near the end. 

This book reminded me of Cassandra Clare's Immoral Instruments series. A similar ew, a similar fail of a great villain,  and week characters. 

I do think there is hope for this book hence the 2 stars. The world, how magic works and a few edits could help and the novella can stay.

I didn't love this book.

I was into the beginning, actually I was thinking "hey this book is pretty good" and I don't really know what happened. It sort of fizzled out and became quite an immature book to read. Its not a bad read, just the writing is immature and I'm not sure I want to continue on.

Story is great, if you're a teenager, read this book! If you're now not a teenager (I'm looking at all you fellow twentyteens) then I'd avoid. Its not for you most likely.

This was about how much I was expecting to like this book. So, I’m not sadly or happily surprised. I guess that in some cases that could be considered good. I really liked the character Tyler. I’d totally like a bf like him. Although, he and Kendra only knew each other for two days!!! How could you possible be in love with someone after knowing them for TWO days?!? Oh well, they were pretty cute and that’s all that matters, right?

This book was kind of cheesy and predictable, but it was a satisfying read.

I read this as a part of The Enchanted Box Set Collection!
I enjoyed this book. A great take on witches and magic. I really liked the characters - even though I felt there were still a lot of unknowns. It was an easy read. This ended on a big cliffhanger and I hope book two reveals more.
