This is book is pretty good, but there are some flaws. Jake is dropped from the storyline with little follow-up, which felt unfulfilling. The main characters, Delia and Natalie, come across as jerks too many times to be very sympathetic. Also, this book is misandrist in parts. While I understand that there are horrible men out there, and that the patriarchy is a serious problem, this book goes too far with it's message. The message seems to be that all men are evil and monstrous, when there are plenty of good men out there in reality. The author is more sympathetic toward the women then the men, and gives women excuses when the men don't get any slack.
Who do I recommend this to?: Honestly, not many people. If you're a big fan of witches, maybe, but the problems with the book's message discourage me from recommending it more.
Will I read more by this author?: Maybe. The writing and plot was good, and there are strong characters, but the way the theme is handled is off putting.
