ufcasey 's review for:
Star Witch
by Helen Harper
3.5 stars
Definitely amusing, but unfortunately featured a rushed romance.
In this second book, Ivy is back and still lazy as ever, but this time she is infiltrating a reality tv show reminiscent of 'Survivor' only with a magical twist. This part of the story was much more amusing than I was anticipating, as I absolutely dislike watching reality tv shows in real life.
Unfortunately, Ivy's interactions with the love interest Raphael Winter were oddly stilted and then suddenly shifted into love declarations out of nowhere. It was disappointing given the nice slow-burn vibe up to the very end of the previous book. I was hoping for a more gradual relationship build-up. Additionally, there was a choice that Ivy was given that was barely explained with very high-stakes consequences and yet Ivy goes right along with it, which really doesn't go along with her personality up to that point.
However, this was still a fun enough read for me to round up to four stars and continue on with the next book. I'm interested to see what happens next given Raphael's surprising decision and the repercussions to Ivy's actions.
