A review by meifeng
Like a Charm by Elle McNicoll

4.0

3.5* rounded up. this book got me out of my reading slump and hooked me, despite being a bit too cliche (along the lines of a mildly scottish percy jackson minus the greek gods and instead a whole host of other typical supernatural creatures like vampires, kelpies, sirens, etc.). i appreciated this book's representation of grief and the loss of a close family member—reading the part about grief towards the end made me cry.

all in all, sweet and easy read.
