We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren’t able to burn.

The review contains spoilers!!!


Beautiful quote, isn't it? It captivated me too, until I read the book itself.  Witches, lost sister, found love and magic, do you need more?  well I'm sorry to spoil it all here, but forget this book immediately if you want to read about such things, because it contains none of the above. Although it was basically a good idea, it was horribly executed. I am sure that I would have liked it better if I had read it on Wattpad, I don't understand why so much paper and ink had to be wasted on this.

Trin was a horribly annoying main character and that's true, I can't lie.  She drove me crazy with her constant whining. 

Jason, who didn't do anything for the whole book but be hurt and secretive, was even more useless than Trin.

The other characters don't even deserve a mention because there's simply nothing to say about them.  They had no depth or personality, only Kit 
the villain
deserves some attention because she had something the others didn't; a goal.

The time jumps upset me so much that I wished the devil would take my soul away.

The plot made no sense, was completely unfinished, illogical, flawed, boring and incredibly unenjoyable.  EVERYTHING was taken away by the dialogues and descriptions.
