A review by kellyhager
The White Glove War by Katie Crouch, Grady Hendrix
3.0
I love the idea behind this series, where you have the power (through hoodoo) to completely transform your life and that the ease of having the perfect life without necessarily having to work for it could corrupt you. I think it would require an incredibly strong person to be able to have that kind of power without abusing it or being changed by it. The characters in these books are not incredibly strong people.
I'm not sure what it says about me that I enjoy stories about people being corrupted. (I also enjoy redemption stories, and I'm pretty sure that's what the next book in this series will be.)
There will be at least one more novel and I do look forward to reading it. These are total guilty pleasures. There was an interview with the author last year where she said (and I'm paraphrasing) that it's easy to write YA because you just do action and not worry about nuance. You can definitely tell that is her opinion in these books (Hayes and Alexandria's narratives both sound similar and sometimes I had to flip to see who was talking) but it's definitely entertaining. I wouldn't expect a lifechanging story but it'll give you a fun few hours.
