Cute and easy read. As soon as Tish's pendant located her sisters in DC and The Hardy's I knew Kit was the bad guy and was excited to get to that point in the story where they figured it out. However, Caris and Jason already knowing The 3rd sister, and that Tish was the lost one was a total shocker! Ending could have been a little better.

I was not impressed. The lack of character and relationship development means that this is a story told as just a list of events. And because there hasn't been any serious world building the events have no context or meaning. The best I can say is that it was a quick read

Let’s start with i’m into witchcraft & anything witchy is right up my alley. 3 sisters escaping the Salem Witch Trials - you gotta read it right? Atleast that’s what I thought. It wasn’t completely terrible but the book had the potential to be great but instead it was mediocre at best.
Maybe I really do be asking too much from books

In 1693 Karina Howe was burned as a witch; she and her two sisters Kara and Kenna lived as true witches in Ipswitch, Massachusetts. Before Karina could be burned alive, however, she cast a powerful spell that launched the souls of herself and her sisters forward through time. The demon that separated them in 1693 also managed to get caught up in Karina's spell and finds a way every generation to keep one sister separate from the others so their full potential will never be reached. Presently, in Blackbrook, NY Karina lives as Trin with one of her sisters, Kit and they have spent all of their lives looking for the third sister. When Caris and her cousin Jason move into town, Trin feels a bond of the sisterhood with them. The more time Trin spends with Caris and Jason, the more she feels that they are connected, but as their connection grows, an evil shadow seems to tear them apart.
This was a quick, fun paranormal romance read. I really liked the idea that the witches were not truly killed, but their souls carried on through time. At first the plot seemed very simple to me, Trin and Kit are looking for their sister, and when Caris moves into town everything seems to be solved. However, when Caris and Jason arrive, another mystery is introduced. The black shadow that follows them around and seems to deter them from being with one another opens up Trin to her past lives. I really did enjoy Trin trying to figure out the connection between herself, Kit, Jason and Caris, and when it was finally revealed, I was not expecting it at all. A dramatic ending tied everything up nicely with a very different outcome for the witches of Salem than anyone would have expected.

Readable and enjoyable for what it is, a chick lit fantasy story. Read in one sitting in a couple of hours. Light read, if you want a short escape into the world of witches and magic worth a go. Spelling and grammar mistakes were off-putting, but not unexpected. I would probably read the others in the series if I was stuck for a quick read.

I couldn't get more than a few chapters into it. Aside from the too-perfect characters and awkward dialogue, I'm tired of authors twisting Wicca - an actual religion - to simply be synonymous with magic. It's lazy, unimaginative, and overdone. The only instance I've seen it pulled off is in Cate Tiernan's Sweep series, which manages to capture the spirit of the religion and differentiate between those who simply practice the religion and those who practice the religion and have magical powers.

This was not an un-enjoyable read. I liked the concept and there was a surprising plot point or two that did make me go "ohhhh." The storytelling however did not make me want to read the next book in the series. It just felt like there was something missing in the story to flesh it out and make me more invested in the character's stories.

I really enjoyed this. I read the summary for book 2 and I am glad this one read great as a stand alone, as the plot for book two doesn’t interest me.
