SORORITY WITCHES!
I know absolutely nothing about sororities, but I love a good witchy novel, and this was a unique take that I was super excited to read—and it did not disappoint. It was a super fast paced book that was so much fun. From page one, I was drawn in to this world and the characters. The plot was fast and interesting, even if it wasn’t anything super special.
I really liked the relationship between Jackson and Scarlett, but I wasn’t a fan of Vivi’s relationship. I didn’t feel much chemistry, and it didn’t add anything to the story except for annoying petty drama. It felt like they needed a reason for contention between Scarlett and Vivi, and so they made it about a boy, and that just felt so shallow to me. Also, they had like a 4 year age gap, which, since she’s 18 was a little sketchy in my opinion.
There were many times I was convinced I knew where the plot was going, but it never played out exactly how I thought it would—it was always better than my guess.
I’m honestly not sure if this should be classified as YA or NA. It is definitely appropriate for the average YA audience—no sexual or graphic content, not even any swearing—however it follows college students. One of the POV characters is 18 and the other is about 22.
Either way, a ton of fun if you’re looking for a fast-paced, witchy read—which, let’s be honest. Who isn’t?
