So if you’ve been here you know I’ve been devouring The Babysitters Coven series. Spells Like Teen Spirit is the third and last in the series. This one did not go as well as the first two for me. I know this is a YA series but this last one felt even younger for some reason. It felt like an episode of scooby doo. I had a hard time staying engaged with this one. As a whole I really loved this series but this last one is my least favorite. The first two are excellent and were a great little escape for me.

This series is about a coven of witchy babysitters sworn to protect the innocent and defend the world from an onslaught of evil, and also actually babysit and go to high school. Ever since Esme met Cassandra and discovered the truth about their shared legacy, her life has been moving super fast. During the day she babysits, in the evening she employs a different skill set for another form of demon. She’s getting better at her telekinesis and now that her best friend and dad can know the truth things are much easier. If only she could figure out how to lift the curse that plagues her mother. With the plans set for a staycation with her other sitter buds all set, you know that’s when trouble comes back in.

Pure entertaining paranormal fun. I really love this series featuring teen witches and this latest installment in the series was no exception. A crazy musical instrument monster, a band stuck in a time loop that zombiefy a high school Galentine's dance and let's not forget the role beanie babies play in this story lol.

Overall be prepared to suspend reality and go along for the ride. We learn more about Esme's family and Pig makes a return. The ending definitely makes it clear more books are to come and I couldn't be happier. Great on audio!

This third, and final, book in the Babysitters Coven series was so much fun! I loved how the whole gang was part of defeating the big bad. I would have given a higher rating, but for the fact that this book leaves a lot of loose ends and it is the last one!! @heykatewilliams please write another so we can see what happens!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was so much better than the last book! However, this doesn't read like a final installment, and the ending leaves some major plot points open which is super disappointing and frustrating. I was already kind of concerned when the book's summary set up completely new antagonists for the story and I feel like even that wasn't fully developed or explained. I really liked the world building and the characters, but as a whole this series just feels unfinished and that's really disappointing because the potential for it to be really amazing is definitely there, things just needed to be developed more than they were unfortunately.
