foreverinastory 's review for:
The Casquette Girls
by Alys Arden
I read this book as part of a birthday read along for The Booket List on Facebook.
This book has a little bit of everything. I don't even know how to properly categorize since it has so many elements from different genres woven into it. Also witches, who doesn't like witches!?
For a while, I was kind of confused as to where the plot was ultimately going, but I was thoroughly enjoying the journey. This starts off as a post-apocalyptic story. Adele has returned from visiting her mother in France after the massive storm that destroyed New Orleans. She struggles to go back to her every day life. Because of the curfew and crime heavy atmosphere, her father pushes Isaac on Adele as her part time protector. However, Adele also manages to attract the attention of another newbie in town, strange and mysterious Nicolo.
As people continue to disappear around town, Adele discovers she has a strange power and uncovers her ancestors diary. As she begins investigating, she finds that many of these things are linked and the newcomers in town are angry about a centuries old curse. The mystery of the curse was put together really intricately. I loved seeing Adele and her friends try to solve it from the present and Adeline and her coven take the steps they did to eventually cast the curse.
One thing that kind of bothered me was the love triangle. At first, it was really confusing because I couldn't tell if Adele actually liked one of the guys, and I definitely shipped her with the other so... whoops. The ending was pretty crazy and I'm really interested to see what will happen in the next book.
