Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
4.0
The Cahill sisters are thought of as a bit eccentric. Not a good thing in a town that sees any kind of deviation from polite society as a sign of witchcraft. But what are they supposed to do? Their mother died years ago leaving them with a father who cares more about books than raising three daughters; he's not home enough to teach them anything anyway. It's up to Cate, the eldest daughter, to take care of her sisters. She made a promise to her mother and she is dead set on keeping it, no matter what. So when her father highers a governess to teach the girls while he is away things become complicated. The Cahill girls are not average. They really are witches and they need to keep it a secret. But how can they. It seems all of the sudden everyone is interested in them. For the first time they are attending teas, Cate has men asking for her hand; and a good thing too, she only has a short time before she has to either pick a husband or join the Sisterhood. Which choice will keep her sisters safe?
When Cate finds her mother's diary she learns that she and her sisters may very well be part of a prophesy that could lead to the witches rising to power again, or to their doom, she realizes they are all in danger. She can't trust anyone. Not the Sisterhood, not her friends, not even her own sisters. Because if the prophecy is true then one of them will die and it will be at the hand of her sister.
Born Wicked is the first book in The Cahill Witch Chronicles by first time author Jessica Spotswood.
I absolutely loved this book. I alternated between not being able to put it down and having to do just that because I was so engrossed with the story that I was getting really upset. Books about witches are my second favorite, right after books about vampires, and this is one of the best I have read. I had some pretty intense Born Wicked related dreams after reading it. It was pretty awesome!.
