This seemed like a good introduction to this witchy world and potentially compelling cast of young LGBTQ covenmates but fell short of being a satisfying story in its own right. The pacing was off for me, with too many panels committed to early angst and stubborn ignorance, leaving too few for later character development and story resolution. I'm not the target YA reader, though, so their mileage may vary.
