This was a funny book filed with ten drama and funny magic. Halloween Hiccups were my favorite part.

*I received an e-book copy from author*
Zoe Miller takes after her mother…she’s a witch. Unfortunately that was not enough to keep her parents together. They are divorced because her dad had an affair with his lab assistant. She’s very good about making potions and is constantly trying to find substitutes for unsavory ingredients, like toad slime. If that doesn’t beat all, she’s in love with her best-friend, Anya’s, ex-boyfriend. They are constantly making up and breaking up. She’s hoping this time for good. She wants to be more than friends but doesn’t know how to tell Anya.
Zoe thought it couldn’t get any worse. Apparently, the new girl that her dad’s dating is Jake’s mother. She does end up kissing Jake at the movies to make Anya. Will Zoe just stir up some more trouble with Anya and even more with Jake?
I felt bad that her parents are divorced. Things like that are never easy to go through or having feelings for your best-friend’s ex-boyfriend. I’m not for sure if I would have felt as badly as Zoe did. Anya’s a real witch. I really liked that self-serving potions resulted in punishments, but I think what happens/ can happen on Halloween is a little extreme. I really liked Jake and hope to read more about him in the future.

2.5 stars for me -- it was a cute little read, but you know how in YA there are those that are for adults too, and those that really are only just for youth?? Well, for me this one was a bit young and simple. Doesn't make it a bad book, just not as interesting to my 33 year old self. *shrugs* I found the weird world of magic in this one a bit underwhelming...maybe in future books in the series you'll see more, but I didn't really get it. And even the relationship with Jake was confusing to say the least. So yeah, not for me....

I havn't read a book like this in a while, the one where you start reading and before you notice you're on chapter six. Or you mean to make a mess in the kitchen but you look up from reading at the clock and decide it might be better to just hit the store instead.
I didn't find this book particularly cleaver or anything, but it certainly captured my attention and held it through out. How Zoe interacts with the other characters is interesting to read, and I can't help but wonder what in the world made her and Anya friends. But at least she seems to be opening up to a broader understanding of people as well as learning how to change the world through magic.
